Actor Park Bo-gum has completed his military service and returned to civilian life.

According to military sources, Park Bo-gum recently applied to the unit to use his remaining personal leave and pre-discharge leave, and was effectively discharged early on the 21st.

Currently, all military units are allowing pre-discharge leave to be used without returning to the unit to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within bases.

As a result, Park Bo-gum's discharge was moved up by about two months from the scheduled date of April 30th.


Park Bo-gum's agency and Park Bo-gum himself wished to be quietly discharged without prior announcement to the outside world, considering the COVID-19 situation, according to military sources.

Park Bo-gum, who applied for the keyboardist position in the Navy's Military Band and Honor Guard Battalion in 2020, passed the practical and interview tests and began his military service on August 31st of the same year.

Ten days before his discharge, he attracted attention by serving as a one-day instructor at the Naval Education Command in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, delivering lectures on "Exemplary Leader Soldiers" and "Military Service Success Stories" to trainees of the 680th class.
