SF9's Rowoon conveyed his thoughts on enlisting. Rowoon said today (23rd) at the production presentation of the Disney+ original series 'Turbulence' held at ELIENA Hotel in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul, 'I will go cheerfully.' Rowoon will enlist on active duty to fulfill his defense obligations after the release of the new drama 'Turbulence' on October 27. Initially, he was scheduled to enlist on July 21, but he received a re-examination (level 7) judgment in the enlistment assessment and underwent a re-examination in early August. He said, 'I was originally scheduled to enlist in July, but it got delayed for some reason. I think this was actually a good thing. I went to the Busan International Film Festival for the first time, and if I had only seen it through videos and materials, I would have been very envious. I believe it is the actor's responsibility to promote the work they filmed. I am glad I could convey the name of 'Turbulence' to people before enlisting.' He added, 'I love acting, so I think I will continue without rest.' He also joked that senior (Park) Ji-hwan promised to send him many books, saying, 'Go to the army and gain a lot of knowledge.' Park So-ham, who will return to acting after being discharged in December 2023, advised, 'Rowoon will thrive even in the army. I believe he will not waste time and will return as a more grown and wonderful man.' The new drama 'Turbulence' is an action drama about individuals with different dreams striving to live humanely in a chaotic world, set in Gyeonggang, where all the gold and resources of Joseon gather. Starting on the 26th of this month, the first three episodes will be released, followed by two episodes weekly, totaling nine episodes.
