Amidst the soaring popularity of his Netflix Kdrama, Queen of Tears, South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to national defence by participating in reserve force training.
Kim Soo Hyun, renowned for his roles in popular Kdramas, including the currently airing Queen of Tears, recently made headlines for his dedication to military service. Despite his busy schedule, he participated in reserve force training alongside 490 trainees, showcasing his patriotism and dedication to serving his country.
On April 23rd, Kim Soo Hyun shared a heartfelt message with his fans via the fandom social networking service Bubble, affectionately introducing himself as Army Sergeant Kim. He revealed that he spent the day engaging with 490 new comrades, emphasizing the importance of camaraderie and unity in the military setting.
His return to military service holds significant meaning, considering his previous enlistment in October 2017, followed by a public service period due to a prior cardiac surgery. However, his determination to serve at the forefront led him to undergo re-examinations and secure a position in first-degree military service, where he rose to the rank of sergeant in a front-line reconnaissance battalion within the 1st Division.
