Kang Tae-oh, the first Korean male actor to be offered a European fan meeting tour… But he can’t go because of “this person”
Actor Kang Tae-oh’s sad news was delivered, causing fans to feel sorry.
On July 28th, a video titled “10 Hidden Secrets About ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo‘ Kang Tae-oh“ was uploaded on the YouTube channel “Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho”.
In the video, he attracted netizens’ attention by mentioning Kang Tae-oh’s enlistment. In particular, he said that Kang Tae-oh was offered a fan meeting tour in 5 European countries as the first Korean male actor, but it would be difficult because of Yoo Seung-jun’s case.
Lee Jin-ho explained Kang Tae-oh’s current situation, “Born in June 1994, he must enlist this year (29 years old). However, the enlistment date has not been confirmed yet. But if he gets a draft notice, he must join the army within a month.”
This YouTuber continued, “Officials feel regretful because he is in his heyday right before enlistment, but Kang Tae-oh himself declared, ‘I will do my best as a soldier.’ He is expected to enlist in September at the latest or at the end of August at the earliest.”
He also said, “In particular, the popularity of ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ is said to be unusual in Europe. It is especially popular in Germany. The response to Kang Tae-oh as well as Park Eun-bin is very hot.”
He raised expectations by adding, “Kang Tae-oh was even the first Korean male actor to be offered a European fan meeting tour. It is expected that the tour project in 5 European countries including Germany, Spain and Italy will be carried out.”
However, he revealed, “If this project is completed, it is expected that the Korean Wave will once again boom in Europe. Unfortunately, the possibility of success is very low due to Kang Tae-oh’s enlistment issue.”
Lee Jin-ho evoked regret as he explained, “Kang Tae-oh is not making a hasty decision because he is about to join the army. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism or the Ministry of National Defense must approve it, but it is unlikely since there is a case of Yoo Seung-jun.”
