A photo of "The Descendants of the Sun" actor donned in an army uniform went viral after it was uploaded by a netizen on social media on October 12. Soong Joong Ki is seen holding his army cap while waiting in line for his reserve forces training, as reported by Soompi.
It is not surprising that the photo became viral overnight. After all, it reminded the fans of Song Joong Ki's character, Yoo Si Jin, in "The Descendants of the Sun." It was definitely a sweet treat for anyone who loved the series.
The netizen who uploaded the photo is also undergoing the reserve forces training just like Song Joong Ki. He seemed so thrilled that he is a reservist together with the actor of "The Descendants of the Sun" that he secretly took a photo of him. However, in the caption, he made sure to apologize for taking the photo without permission.
In South Korea, males in the age of 18 to 30 years old are required to render military service for 21 months to 24 months, according to the Central Intelligence Agency. The specific duration of the service depends on the military branch that they are assigned to. Even celebrities like Song Joong Ki is not exempted from the service.
"The Descendants of the Sun" shows the love between the army captain Yoo Si Jin and Dr. Kang Mo Yeon in a war-torn Korea. There are rumors that season 2 is in progress but nothing is confirmed as of now. But one thing is for sure and that is the fans are looking forward to watch Soong Joong Ki play as Yoo Si Jin once again.
