Singer Go Jung-woo is temporarily leaving his fans for the duty of defense.
Go Jung-woo will enter the Army training center on the 14th. After four weeks of basic military training, he will serve as a social service worker.
Go Jung-woo, who became known as the youngest Hae-nam by participating in various programs like SBS' 'Now on My Way to Meet You' and KBS2's 'Human Theater,' working with his grandmother, a haenyeo (female diver), has proven his skills as a five-time winner on the segment 'Challenge: Dream Stage' of 'Morning Yard.'
After declaring participation in TV CHOSUN's 'Mr. Trot 2,' Go Jung-woo gained the nickname 'Sea Food Pot Voice' with his profound emotions and singing ability, making a mark as a next-generation traditional trot performer. He announced his debut as a trot singer by releasing his first album 'Joseon Romance' on May 27, 2023.
Active in releasing new songs such as 'Palja' and 'Gani Station' in March and August, respectively, Go Jung-woo expanded his activities by appearing in the musical 'Siddhartha.' Recently, he elicited deep emotions on MBN's 'Oh Eun-young Stay,' where he shared stories about growing up in a difficult environment under his grandmother and becoming the head of the household at the age of 9 after his grandmother's traffic accident, overcoming his fear of water to become the youngest Hae-nam.
Ahead of his enlistment, Go Jung-woo revealed his short haircut. Having made a surprise appearance as a reporter on KBS1's 'Six O'Clock My Hometown' broadcast on the 11th, Go stated, "The short hair still feels unfamiliar and awkward, so I had both laughter and tension throughout the shoot... Much like the feeling of getting a haircut before military enlistment, it has become an opportunity to gather my new resolve and sense of responsibility."
In particular, Go Jung-woo said, "Now, I will be showing a stronger version of myself and will do my best in any position. I promise not to give up even in difficult and unfamiliar environments, and to be a person who brings laughter and emotion to you all. Please remember that your words of encouragement are the greatest strength to me. Loyalty! Trainee Go Jung-woo! I have received orders to enlist on August 14. Hereby, I report! Loyalty!"
