Super Junior��s Leeteuk and Kim Moo Yeol make their first public appearance as soldiers

Super Junior’s Leeteuk and actor Kim Moo Yeol recently made their first public appearance as soldiers at a December 24 press conference on the making of the musical The Promise. The press conference was held in a briefing room at the Ministry of National Defense. It’s been about two months since they started their military service in October.

During the press conference, the cast introduced themselves and talked about the musical, answering the reporters’ questions. Besides Leeteuk and Kim, singer and actor Ji Hyun Woo, actor Jung Tae Woo, and 8eight’s Lee Hyun were also on hand as members of the cast. After saluting the reporters, the two soldiers took their questions.

The Promise is a musical produced by the Ministry of National Defense, the Republic of Korea Army, and the Korea Musical Association in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War. It’s a story about a soldier who sacrifices himself to protect his country and his fellow soldiers and about the soldiers who try to keep their promise to him. Kim plays the role of Sang Jin, a rebellious soldier who has a dark past. Leeteuk plays the role of Miss Kim, who has a feminine personality.

The Promise will run from January 9 to 20 next year at the Hae-orum Theater of the National Theater of Korea.

Kim started his military service on October 9 after he was embroiled in controversy over exemption from military service. Kim has been working for the Media Relations Team since December 4. Leeteuk started his military service on October 30.
