Actor Nam Da Reum Announces Early Military Enlistment at 21 Years Old

When most South Korean male celebrities usually decide to go for their military enlistment after their peak popularity has passed, young actor Nam Da Reum chose to do it earlier. Just when his fame started rising steadily, Nam Da Reum suddenly announced his early military enlistment date.

On February 1, actor Nam Da Reum posted a heartfelt letter on his fan café, announcing his early military enlistment. The young actor was born in 2002, making him 21 years old in Korean age.

The Main Reason Nam Da Reum Decided to Enlist Early

Indeed, the news is incredibly surprising for the Korean entertainment industry. After all, it is extremely rare for Korean celebrities to enlist at an early age because it will disturb the momentum of their popularity, as well as focus and mastery of their skills. However, the reason behind Nam Da Reum early military enlistment is perfectly understandable.

According to Nam Da Reum, it has always been his dream to serve earlier in the military. In fact, he mentioned that he originally planned to enlist when he was 20 years old in Korean age. But since he could not do it, he’s grateful that he can finally enlist at 21 years old.

“Ever since I was young, serving in the military early was one of my goals. Although I wasn’t able to go at the age of 20 [by Korean reckoning], I think it’s a relief that I’m at least able to go at the age of 21.”
