Park Ji-hoon (27), a 'ten-million-view actor' from the project group Wanna One, openly revealed his plans for military enlistment.

On April 30, the YouTube channel 'KBS Kpop' released the final episode of LE SSERAFIM's Hong Eun-chae's web variety show 'Eun-chae's Style Diary Returns,' featuring guest Park Ji-hoon.

In the video, Park Ji-hoon took time to read and respond to fan comments. In particular, one netizen asked, "Mr. Park Ji-hoon, do you have any thoughts about joining the military band instead of the Marine Corps? A woman's life hangs in the balance. If there's no Park Ji-hoon, I will die."

In response, without any hesitation, Park Ji-hoon replied, "I am truly sorry, but I have no thoughts of joining the military band; I want to go to a difficult place no matter what," eliciting laughter.

When asked for the reason, he stated firmly, "I want to go somewhere and learn something. I am a military enthusiast. I even collect guns at home. So, regarding the military band or public relations soldiers, I am truly sorry, but I have no thoughts of joining them," reiterating his stance.

He then emphasized his intention: "I really want to apply to the Marine Corps Reconnaissance Unit rather than the Marine Corps." He added, "I am applying to the Marine Corps, but within that, there are units that require passing an exam and are even more difficult."

Regarding his reason for wanting to join the Marine Corps Reconnaissance Unit, he said, "I want to go to a difficult place. I just feel like I really don't want to go to an ordinary place. Of course, the Army isn't ordinary either."

Furthermore, regarding the timing of his enlistment, Park Ji-hoon answered bluntly, "I have to go very soon. A 'soon' that is a bit far, yes."

Meanwhile, Park Ji-hoon became a 'ten-million-view actor' with the February-released film 'The King and the Clown' (hereinafter 'The King and the Clown'). 'The King and the Clown' mobilized a cumulative audience of 16.73 million, ranking second among all-time box office hits.

Park Ji-hoon is set to release the OTT TVING original series 'Legend of the Army Cook' on the 11th as his next project.
