Actor Lee Jae-wook (28) will enlist in the active military on the 18th.

According to a StarNews investigation on the 4th, Lee Jae-wook is scheduled to report to a training center on the 18th to fulfill his national defense obligations. After completing basic military training, he will be assigned to a unit and begin his full military service.

Born on May 10, 1998, he is 27 years old. He had originally planned to enlist last year, but the enlistment date was slightly delayed due to activity schedules such as filming for his next project. During an interview last May regarding the Netflix series 'Tanggeum', he stated, "Enlistment cannot be postponed any further. This is the deadline." Thus, he decided to enlist after completing the filming of his work.

Lee Jae-wook made his debut in the 2018 tvN drama 'Memories of the Alhambra' and solidified his position by delivering impressive performances as a lead in numerous works including 'Search Keywords WWW', 'One Day When We Met', 'If the Weather Is Nice, I'll Go Find You', 'Dodo Sol Sol La La Sol', 'Tale of the Nine Tailed: 1938', 'I'm About to Die Soon', 'Royal Roader', and 'Last Summer'. Last year, he also joined as a fixed member of the tvN variety show 'Sisters' Mountain Delivery 2', showcasing his variety skills.

Even after enlistment, works to soothe the regret of the 'military gap' (military + gap period) are set to be released. He has completed filming for the new ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Doctor Island Boy', in which he co-starred with Shin Ye-eun in February, and the series is scheduled to premiere on June 1.

'Doctor Island Boy' is a medical romantic comedy drama depicting Do Ji-ee (played by Lee Jae-wook), a public health doctor who arrives on the notorious island 'Pyondongdo' that everyone avoids, and Yook Ha-ri (played by Shin Ye-eun), a nurse with many secrets. Lee Jae-wook's new acting transformation is drawing expectations.

An OTT next project is also scheduled. The Netflix series 'Honey Part-time Job', featuring Go Min-si, Kim Min-ha, and Lee Hee-jun, is set to be released in the second half of this year.

Meanwhile, Lee Jae-wook plans to quietly report to the training center without any separate events.
