SEOUL, July 21 (Yonhap) -- South Korean actor Kwak Dong-yeon will begin his mandatory military service on Aug. 25 as an active-duty Army soldier, his agency said Tuesday.

 

Kwak, 29, will quietly enter an Army training center without holding a separate public event, complete basic military training and then be assigned to a unit for active-duty service, according to The Black Label. 

 

"Kwak Dong-yeon plans to faithfully fulfill his national defense duty," the agency said.
