Actor Yeo Jin-goo has recently caught the attention of fans and netizens alike with an unexpected update on his physique while serving in the KATUSA military program.
On the 10th, a photo capturing a two-shot with Yeo Jin-goo was shared on the social media account of a U.S. judge, instantly drawing widespread public interest.
The photo shows Yeo Jin-goo wearing his military uniform, flashing a bright smile while making a finger heart gesture. The actor enlisted as an active-duty soldier after being selected for KATUSA in December of last year.
Captured about 11 months into his service, Yeo Jin-goo immediately stood out with his sun-tanned skin and sturdy, dignified military appearance. Even before his enlistment, when he appeared on TVING’s ‘Great Escape’, he shocked viewers by showing a bulked-up physique rivaling Kang Ho-dong. Now, he has returned with an even more dependable and robust presence that warms the hearts of fans.
The judge who uploaded the post revealed that they encountered Yeo Jin-goo while attending as a judge for the 26th Korean Army English Speech Contest held at Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.
Expressing deep admiration, the judge stated, “I even got the opportunity to meet Yeo Jin-goo, who was hosting the event,” adding, “I really loved him in the dramas ‘The Crowned Clown’ and ‘Hotel Del Luna’.”
Meanwhile, Yeo Jin-goo is scheduled to be discharged from the military in June of next year.
