Next year will be the “golden” year of artists in the army. O_O Here’s a list of who will be joining the barracks soon. If you know any that’s not on the list, let me know -__-
These are all the artists who have received the notice but they never said the final date when they are going so I’m assuming (since now it’s year-end already) that they will go sometime in 2008.
Looking at the list below, so sad that I like a LOT of them :/ (see my emoticon)
Actor
- Chun Jung Myung – confirmed to go on first week of Jan 2008 …
- Gong Yoo – confirmed to go on 14th Jan 2008
- Jo Hyun Jae – said will go after latest drama, G.P501, ends…
- Jo In Sung – he’s going end of 2007…
- Kim Rae Won
- Lee Dong Gun
- Lee Dong Wook – after his latest movie…
x 10 - Yang Dong Gun – he’s a singer-actor actually….
Singer
- ERU – confirmed by agency -most probable date is 2nd half of 2008 (
- Eric Mun (of Shinhwa) – haven’t receive but people are assuming…
- Jang Woo Hyuk – before June 2008…
- Kangta
- Kim Dong Wan (of Shinhwa) – the only one who actually received the notice…
- Kim Jong Min (of Koyotae) – before March 2008…

I read in another news, this one from KDW birthday party, that KDW is planning and hopeful that he, Min Woo and Eric will enlist at the same time and join the same rank/team/division.

LOL………it would be Wannie to hope that Minwoo & Eric enlist at the same time and join the same unit. I think he jokingly once said on camera to Shinhwa fans to tell the managers to get the members to share the same house again. He must miss his Shinhwa band members when they do their solo activities~!
Ahh, Shinhwa yonwonhi~!! It’s be a loooong two years for Shinhwa fans…..

Aww… 2 years…? That’s soooooooo…. long… … … Aww… it’s going to be so quiet in those two years… … …
Aww… Kim Dongwan is sooo… cute… I agree… I bet he really misses the group during solo activities… … … Aww… this makes me sooo… sad… :{
No matter what, SHINHWA fans will always stand by them.
SHINHWA HWAITING YONG WON HI~!!!

*sniffs* … … … *blows nose*… … … I agree with Kim Dongwan, I miss seeing Shinhwa live together too… They all were sooo… happy and cheerful back then… … … If only things didn’t change… … … but like Shin Hye Sung said… “Everything changes… They can’t always stay as kids… … … That’s probably the reason why Minwoo was the first to move out…” … … *sniffs* … … …
