Actor Lee Do Hyun, 28 this year, revealed his honest thoughts about enlisting in the military.

On the 14th, Star News released an interview with Lee Do Hyun, who received the Rookie of the Year award at the '2021 Asian Artist Awards'.

When asked when he dreamed of becoming an actor, Lee Do Hyun replied, "I thought about it while I was in college. In my second year of high school, I just wanted to try acting, so I went to a private academy without my father's knowledge."

"I wanted to become a movie star from the first semester of my sophomore year at university, so I looked for media acting academies, created an audition profile, and searched for companies." he continued.

Lee Do Hyun, who is not yet in the military, expressed his wish that COVID-19 would end soon and he would like to meet his fans before enlisting.

In the process, Lee Do Hyun attracted attention by mentioning his love for the military.

Lee Do Hyun confessed, "I'm curious about what I look like after I left the military.

I want to grow up and come back. I don't think the military is a big deal. Rather, I want to go."

He wants to find opportunities to become more mature and change a lot while serving in the military.

Lee Do Hyun said, "I'm still working and I'm focused on what I've been given, so I haven't decided on the exact date of enlistment. I have to go when the time comes."

"My goal is to go to the military and to weigh 100kg. I wonder what kind of image I will show that way. When will I try to increase my weight like that? Now I am 74kg." he added.

Meanwhile, Lee Do Hyun debuted in tvN's 'Prison Playbook' in 2017 and appeared in tvN's 'Hotel Del Luna', JTBC's '18 Again', Netflix's 'Sweet Home', KBS2's 'Youth of May', and tvN's 'Melancholia'.
