Singer and actor Rowoon, known for his work in various popular dramas and formerly a member of the K-pop group SF9, will start his mandatory military service this summer. His agency, FNC Entertainment, made the announcement, confirming his enlistment details.

FNC Entertainment stated on May 27 that Rowoon will enter a training camp on July 21. He will serve as an active-duty soldier in the Army, fulfilling his national duty.

Before his enlistment, Rowoon has planned a special event for his fans. He will hold a fan meeting called ‘Before Blooming’ on May 31. This event will take place at the Donghae Culture and Arts Center of Kwangwoon University in Seoul. This meeting is a chance for him to spend time with his fans before he begins his military service.

Rowoon’s career began in 2016 when he debuted as a member of SF9. He was the lead vocalist for the group. In 2023, after his first contract with FNC Entertainment ended, he decided to leave the group. Since then, he has put his full attention into his acting career.

Throughout his acting journey, Rowoon has taken on roles in many notable dramas. These include ‘School 2017’, ‘Where Stars Land’, and ‘Extraordinary You’. He also appeared in ‘Find Me in Your Memory’, ‘She Would Never Know’, and the historical drama ‘The Kingโ€™s Affection’. More recently, he starred in ‘Destined with You’.

Fans can look forward to seeing Rowoon in his upcoming project. He is waiting for the release of his new series, ‘Turbid’, which is an original production for Disney+.

Rowoon’s military enlistment is a standard requirement for all able-bodied male citizens in South Korea. His commitment to fulfilling this duty follows a path many other male celebrities in the entertainment industry have taken. Fans often show strong support for their favorite stars during their time away for military service. Many look forward to their return to the entertainment scene.

The fan meeting event is a way for Rowoon to express his gratitude to his supporters. Such gatherings allow fans to wish their idols well and to show their lasting encouragement before a temporary break in their careers. The location for the fan meeting is a well-known venue for cultural events in Seoul.

His acting career has seen him take on a variety of roles, showcasing his range as a performer. From school-based dramas to fantasy and historical series, Rowoon has built a diverse filmography. His transition to focusing solely on acting after his group activities has allowed him to concentrate on developing his skills in this area.

The news of his enlistment comes as he continues to be active in the entertainment industry, with a new project soon to be released. This demonstrates his dedication to his craft right up until he begins his service.

Rowoon’s journey from K-pop idol to a full-time actor has been watched by many. His roles have earned him recognition and a dedicated fan base. The period of military service is a significant step in his personal and professional life.

As July approaches, fans are getting ready to show their support at the ‘Before Blooming’ event. This will be the last chance for many to see him before his enlistment. The upcoming Disney+ series ‘Turbid’ will also give fans new content to enjoy while he is away.
