On 30 August, Glorious Entertainment uploaded the first letter from Ji Chang Wook written to his fans since enlisting a few weeks ago. So because it’s been all of 16 days since then (not like we’re counting or anything…), let’s take a look at what Wook has to say about his new life in the army!
*The “Daum Cafe” that Ji Chang Wook refers to is the Daum Cafe of the 3rd Infantry Division (nicknamed “White Skull”), an online community portal where family and friends can register to leave internet letters, and view photos uploaded by the regiment of their loved ones currently in service. Unfortunately, his fans have overwhelmed the registration for the cafe and family members were unable to properly register. Glorious Entertainment had previously posted a notice requesting his fans to not register for the Daum Cafe, as access was revised to only registrants who could prove they were true family members.

Will JCW spend the 2 years straight in the military no vacation? Or if if there’s any vacation will he do movies or series?
Soldiers are given short breaks during service, but not long enough for him to act in anything. It is more likely that he will use the break to spend time with his family or friends.
Thank you again Gabby for translating this for his American fans to read. I loved seeing the actual hand-written letter. It almost felt like he wrote it to me personally. So sweet! And the CUTE stationery that the army provided was awesome! I’m normally a K-Drama binge-watcher and have been catching up on every single movie and film JCW has been in – but I haven’t been able to watch any dramas since he left for the army. So Sad. I hope he is safe and I hope I can meet him in person one day…but I have to first learn how to speak Korean. Thank you to everyone at Ji Chang Wook Kitchen for all the wonderful content on this site!!!
