Explaining how enlisting in the military has always been one of his personal goals in life, Nam Da Reum wrote, “Hello, this is Nam Da Reum. Are you enjoying the Lunar New Year holiday? Uniques [Nam Da Reum’s official fandom], I hope that you all receive lots of good fortune in the new year and that you will spend 2022 in good health.”
“The reason I’m writing this letter is because I have news that I wanted to personally convey to Uniques myself. In a week, on February 8, 2022, I will be enlisting in the military. After the date was set, I began quietly preparing while feeling apologetic that I wasn’t able to let Uniques know sooner, but I still wanted to tell Uniques first before anyone else, which is why I’m announcing the news here” he added.
“Ever since I was young, serving in the military early was one of my goals. Although I wasn’t able to go at the age of 20 (by Korean reckoning), I think it’s a relief that I’m at least able to go at the age of 21. After I come back, I will try to show you an improved version of myself as an adult and as an actor. Uniques, please take good care of your health. I will return a more mature person. Thank you” he signed off.
As soon as he shared the letter, fans took to Twitter and shared their reactions to the news.
