South Korean singer-actor Rowoon will enlist in the military for his mandatory service in July, according to a report.
Management company FNC Entertainment confirmed an earlier report that the 28-year-old star, whose real name is Kim Seok-woo, will enlist on July 21, Korean entertainment news outlet Soompi reported.
"He will enter the training center and fulfill his military duty as an active-duty soldier in the Army," FNC was quoted as saying in the Soompi article.
Under South Korean law, most able-bodied men must perform at least 18 months of military service.
