[11-06-2015] Military soldiers including Kim Hyun Joong forbidden to leave due to MERS outbreak

As the MERS outbreak continues in South Korea, it turns out that military soldiers, including stars currently enlisted, are now unable to leave the premises during their breaks.  

According to a rep from the Army Headquarters, as more people are becoming affected by the disease, they've pushed back the breaks for their soldiers, which is usually when they can get off the army bases and return to civilization for a short period of time.

This includes stars like Kim Hyun Joong , who will partake in the ceremony for the completion of their recruit training without the presence of their family, which is a shame.  Usually, family come to celebrate their graduation from basic training, but it must be for the best.

[04-06-2015] Kim Hyun Joong is all smiles in the military

Despite the legal mess and drama still unfolding between him and his ex, Kim Hyun Joong seems to be happy to be personally away from it all while he serves the military.

On June 4, the 30th Recruit Training Squadron shared pictures of the trainees that had enlisted on May 12.  It has been three weeks now, but they, including singer/actor Kim Hyun Joong, appear to be doing well.  

Kim Hyun Joong has a bright smile in his picture with his buzz cut hair.  After training for two more weeks for a total of five, he will become an active-duty soldier.  He's scheduled to be discharged on February 11, 2017, which seems like a long while away, but he'll be back before you know it!  And hopefully the mess will all be resolved by then, too.
