Na In-woo’s Military Service status has been making headlines. The actor’s agency has now spoken up to address public speculation.
On December 17, Hanada Company, the agency representing Na In-woo (30), officially confirmed that the actor had received an exemption from military service.
In a statement to Star News, the agency clarified, “It is true that Na In-woo was exempted from military service by the Military Manpower Administration. Since this was the administration’s decision, we have nothing more to add.”
Reason Behind Na In-Woo’s Military Service Exemption
The exemption stems from Na In-woo’s military health evaluation, where he was classified as a Grade 4 supplemental service candidate. This classification generally indicates health conditions or specific reasons that limit full active duty participation. However, under Korea’s Military Service Act, individuals who remain unassigned for three years following a Grade 4 classification are granted exemption from mandatory service.
According to reports, Na In-woo received the Grade 4 status during his physical examination. But he did not receive a summons within the required time frame. Consequently, he joined over 10,000 individuals exempted under similar circumstances since 2019.
When asked about the specifics of the health evaluation, a spokesperson for Na In-woo stated, “We would need to confirm this with the actor himself, but he is currently busy filming.”
Upcoming Projects of Na In-Woo
Despite the buzz surrounding his exemption, Na In-woo remains focused on his acting career. The actor is set to lead the upcoming MBC drama “Motel California”, which premieres on January 10, 2025.
Na In-woo has steadily built his reputation as one of Korea’s promising actors, with notable appearances in “2 Days & 1 Night” and various acclaimed dramas.
