Actor Park Bo-gum, currently serving in the Republic of Korea Navy, has passed the state exam to become a licensed barber, military officials said Wednesday.
Park, who has been fulfilling his mandatory military service since 2020, took the exam last month, the officials said. He is currently stationed in the Gyeryongdae military headquarters, 160 kilometers south of Seoul.
Park is set to complete his military service in April.
All able-bodied Korean men must carry out compulsory service for about two years in a country that faces constant security threats from North Korea.
Making his silver screen debut in the thriller "Blind" (2011), Park gained huge popularity after taking a lead role in the hit TV series "Reply 1988" (2015) and "Love in the Moonlight" (2016). (Yonhap)
