Gong Yoo to fall in step with military
Westerners say that death and taxes are the only things in life that can’t be avoided.
For Korean males, the aphorism can be modified to death, taxes and military service. Actor Gong Yoo is slated for conscription this October, joining the ranks of men, famous and unknown, who have served their country.
According to the Office of Military Manpower Administration, Gong, 28, will serve at a station in Uijeongbu-dong, Gyeonggi, starting Oct. 9. He will undergo the six weeks of bootcamp required for new conscripts.
He said previously that he would enter service after completing his current mini-series in which he costars with singer turned actress Yun Eun-hye.
However, his label, sidusHQ, said Gong hasn’t formally received an enlistment warrant but it was likely he would serve later this year.
The star, whose real name is Gong Ji-cheol, rose to stardom after his debut in KBS’s teen series, “Hakgyo 4.” Most recently, he has earned rave reviews as an acerbic but charmingly rich single man in the Korean mini-series, “Coffee Prince” His character falls in love with a female waiter masquerading as a man.

Don’t have cash to buy some real estate? Worry no more, because that is achievable to get the personal loans to resolve such problems. Hence take a credit loan to buy all you require.
