The military enlistment of an internationally beloved actor and singer was put on hold.

On July 17, FNC Entertainment announced that South Korean superstar Rowoon (real name Kim Seok-woo), who was initially slated to enlist as an active-duty soldier on July 21, had his enlistment postponed.

Rowoon gained prominence as a member of the South Korean boy band SF9, a group he departed in 2023. He is widely recognized for his standout performances in the television dramas Extraordinary You (2019) and The King’s Affection (2021), both featured as Netflix Originals in the United States.

Following a military pre-enlistment physical examination, Rowoon was issued a Grade 7 notice, requiring a re-examination. He has since filed an appeal and is set to undergo a reassessment sometime this month.
