Actor Yeo Jin-goo, 28, has announced his military enlistment through a handwritten letter to fans, expressing both gratitude and resolve as he prepares for a new chapter in life.

During this time apart, I promise to return as a stronger and more mature person — healthier in body and mind, and with deeper acting skills.” Ending on a lighthearted note, Yeo asked fans not to be sad. “You have 30 dramas and 20 films to remember me by,” he wrote. “Whenever you miss me, please rewatch them while waiting.
