STILL IN THE LIMELIGHT

When South Korean actor, Lee Junki went into the army, I thought that I had to wait for two years before I could get to see him again.  How wrong could I be?  The dear chap has barely been in the army for 6 weeks and pictures of him in service have been appearing regularly. 
Pictures of him in training, in the Korean Armed Forces Radio Network Friends’ Dream Concert with other celebrity soldiers, with Lee Dong Wook preparing for a concert and so on.  I guess the military big brass are well aware of his celebrity and has selected him to work as a celebrity military officer for the remainder of his serving period.
According to Korea’s Defense Media Agency, the actor was assigned to the PR unit in the agency.  An official at the government agency was quoted as saying. “We handpicked him so that he can use his talents for various programs in the agency.”
Some of the promotional activities planned for Junki include hosting military television shows and radio programs with other PR officers and visiting Korean soldiers serving at the front and rear lines of the military zone.  He is expected to do his best to boost the morale of military personnel as well as fulfill various cultural desires. 
And that is the reason why we will still be able to see pictures of him and get news about him.  Yippee!!!
By the way, I think he looks way much better with the short hair.  The long hair made him look girly.
