Nam Joo-hyuk Completes Military Service Amid Controversy

In a significant moment for fans, South Korean actor Nam Joo-hyuk has successfully completed his military service after approximately 18 months. On the 19th, he was officially discharged from the Army, marking the end of his duty, which began in March 2022.

Nam Joo-hyuk enlisted on March 20, 2022, undergoing basic military training and serving in the army's 32nd Division Military Police. Despite his military obligations, he continued to engage audiences through a pre-recorded Disney+ original series titled "Vigilante," showcasing thrilling action that delighted his fans at home.

However, his enlistment was not without controversy, as he faced allegations of school violence prior to his service. In June 2022, a complaint was made regarding his involvement in bullying, but many former classmates and even his teachers came forward to defend him, stating that he was not prone to such behavior.

Despite the persistent rumors and legal challenges surrounding the allegations, Nam Joo-hyuk has announced his upcoming role in a new drama titled "Donggung." This series promises a mysterious narrative involving spirits within a royal palace, with Nam reportedly cast as a character possessing unique abilities to confront ghosts.
