Lee Min-ho expressed his thoughts on upcoming enlistment in a recent interview with a local fashion magazine.
“I thought I would be all cool, all indifferent, but I feel sad.” he said.
“I think it is more about my passing 20s rather than about enlistment itself. I feel sad about becoming 30s and getting old.”
However, he thinks the late enlistment was a good decision.
“I think if I had joined the Army early, I would not have been able to appear in the drama ‘Boys over Flowers’ and had such a happy 20s,” Lee said.
“I was happy that I received so much love from overseas and that I contributed somewhat to introducing Hallyu content.”
When asked if there is anything he would like to push himself to do during his time in the Army, he said “a regular life itself is a great challenge for me.”
Lee Min-ho will start serving his mandatory military duty as a civil service worker in Gangnam-gu Office on May 12.
Lee will need to enter the training centre within a year, where he will complete four weeks of basic training.
“I’ve received all the expressions of regret and support from the fans. I hope I can give you ‘healing’ after I come back fit and healthy,” he said.
