Kim Soo Hyun is already in the age bracket of those who are required to serve the South Korea military for two years. Add that to his wide fan base and popularity, people are always on the edge that he might enlist soon and be away from the limelight for a while.
One of his latest projects is the movie "Real" which will start production in January 2016. Many can't help but ask whether this will be the actor's last project before he goes into military service. Nate.com (via Soompi.com) has reported that a representative from KeyEast Entertatinment, Kim Soo Hyun's management company, has told OSEN, "We don't know. Kim Soo Hyun is currently focusing only on the work 'Real.'"
Kim Soo Hyun plays Jang Tae Young in the "Real" film, who is a ruthless, cold and ambitious man, blinded by his greed and thirst for success.
Back in October, it was reported that Kim Soo Hyun invested around $7 million in his own upcoming film "Real," a project under Alibaba Pictures. The production will take place at Paradise City.
Earlier this year, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, released a statement saying, "Of course Kim Soo Hyun is planning on serving in the army in the future; however, the time he will actually enlist has not yet been determined. These details have yet to be discussed. When the time comes to arrange an enlistment date, we will make the appropriate announcements."
All South Korean male citizens are required to serve the military for two years before they turn 35. Kim Soo Hyun, whose latest projects include the "Producer," is now 27 years old. That means he still has three more years to enlist by the age of 30 before the deadline and fans can still expect him to do more projects before then.
