After numerous nominations for ‘male idol who looks like girl most,’ ‘male idol with best feminine features’, etc etc., it’s almost time for the popular actor Lee JunKi to take his last bow before shaving his head to go to the military.

According to an official at JG, Lee Junki had received a notice from Korea’s Military Manpower Administration to enter the army within the year to fulfill his mandatory two-year service.

“But he asked to defer the entrance date because he is currently working on a movie and television series,” the official was quoted as saying. “Entering the military is something that should be and will be done without question, but I think he needs to finish what he has been working on before going [to the military].”

He added that final details regarding the issue will be sorted out sometime early next week.

Lee, 27, became a household name after appearing as a woman-like clown in the 2005 hit film “The King and the Clown” and most recently portrayed a passionate magazine reporter in MBC TV series “Hero.”

The Hallyu star started shooting the film “Grand Prix” with top Korean actress Kim Tae-hee earlier this month and is scheduled to appear in SBS TV’s 24-episode series “Faith” later in the year.
