Singer Go Jung-woo, who has received much love for being 'the youngest Haenam', 'a five-win singer on Morning Yard', and 'a seafood stew voice', is enlisting in the military. Although Go Jung-woo is temporarily leaving his fans for his defense duties, there is an outpouring of support wishing him to successfully complete his military service and return in an even more wonderful state.
Go Jung-woo's life has been tumultuous. After his parents divorced, he was raised by his grandmother from the age of 2. He learned diving from his grandmother, who was a diver, and has been diving together since he was 12.
Such a tragic story was featured in documentaries and variety shows such as SBS's 'Moment of Capture: Things Like This in the World' and KBS's 'Human Theater.' Recently, he appeared on MBN's 'Oh Eun-young Stay' and revealed that he became the head of the household at the age of 9 after his grandmother's traffic accident, overcame his fear of water, and became the youngest Haenam, which stirred tears as he shared his journey of hardship and how he refocused on living after seeing his grandmother.
Despite a life filled with hardships, Go Jung-woo did not give up and chased his dreams. As a result, he gained recognition as a singer by winning five times on KBS1's 'Morning Yard's Challenge Dream Stage' and marked his presence as the next-generation traditional trot runner by appearing on TV CHOSUN's 'Mr. Trot 2' with his deep sentiment and vocal ability, earning the nickname 'seafood stew voice.'
After signing an exclusive contract with General Entertainment, Go Jung-woo communicated with fans through more channels such as the release of his new album and various variety show appearances, announcing his start as a trot singer with the release of his first album 'Joseon Romance' on May 27, 2023.
In 2024, Go Jung-woo continued to push forward. He made it to the third round of the finals on TV CHOSUN's 'Mr. Trot 3', successfully imprinting his name once again. He then released a new song remaking Na Hoon-a's 'Palja' and showcased his potential as a musical actor by appearing in the musical 'Siddhartha.'
With his touching life story and deep emotional voice, Go Jung-woo has touched the hearts of many. According to OSEN's report, he will enlist on the 14th, starting his defense duties. Go Jung-woo is expected to serve as a social service worker.
Ahead of his enlistment, Go Jung-woo released his new song 'Gani Station' on the 1st and plans to continue meeting with fans until his enlistment. There is anticipation for his activities after he matures even further during his military service.
