Last year, Ju Jihun's promising career halted when he was caught up in a drugs scandal. The whole drama is now over, and it was reported in the forums that he had served out his 120 hours of community service.
This February, Ju Jihun was enlisted in the military service, which was compulsory for every abled Korean man.
Despite his tainted reputation, he is still well-loved by his fans. There was a huge turn-out at his sending off last Tuesday, to wish him well. Ju Jihun appeared to be touched, for he shed a few tears himself!!
To me, the most humbling moment was when he took off his cap, and showed the world his crew cut hair. Now, this was a Korean heartthrob, with millions of fans idolising him. His crew cut hair told the world that he had stripped off his vanity and his celebrity status, and was now just an ordinary Korean man, serving his country.

I wish Ju Jihun the best of luck in his military service. I do look forward to his presence in the Korean entertainment industry after 2011, as I do think that this young man has a lot of potential!!
Aja, aja!! Fighting!!!!
