Actor Na In Woo, known for his charming visuals, is making headlines not just for his upcoming drama Motel California but also for being exempted from military service due to a unique classification process.

Na In Woo is set to star in MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama Motel California, which premieres on the 10th. The story revolves around a young woman who grew up in a rural motel and reconnects with her first love after 12 years. This “first love remodeling romance” promises plenty of twists and is based on the popular novel Home, Bitter Home by Shim Yoon Seo.

Na In Woo will play Cheon Yeon Soo, a veterinarian whose life takes an unexpected turn when he reunites with his first love, Ji Kang Hee. In the newly released character poster, Na In Woo exudes warmth and innocence, standing alone on a snowy rooftop while gazing into the distance. The line, "You were my first. That’s why I’ll wait for you," perfectly captures his character’s steadfast and pure-hearted nature.

Lee Se Young stars alongside him as Ji Kang Hee, an interior designer with a tough past due to her mixed-race background and a challenging upbringing in a rural motel. The cast also includes Choi Min Soo as Ji Kang Hee’s free-spirited father, Kim Tae Hyung as a wealthy businessman, and Choi Hee Jin as a fellow veterinarian caught in a marriage scandal with Na In Woo’s character.

While fans eagerly anticipate the drama, many were surprised to learn about Na In Woo’s military exemption. The actor had received a Grade 4 reservist classification during his medical examination and had been waiting for enlistment as a social service worker. However, three years passed without a summons from the Military Manpower Administration (MMA), leading to his exemption.

According to the Military Service Act, those classified as Grade 4 reservists are exempt if not called within three years. Reports say more than 10,000 individuals have been exempted under this rule since 2019, with Na In Woo among them.

His agency, Hanada Company, addressed the situation, stating, "It is true that Na In Woo was exempted from military service while awaiting enlistment and assignment. This was a decision made by the Military Manpower Administration, and we have no additional comments to offer."

Fans can’t wait to see Na In Woo bring Cheon Yeon Soo to life in Motel California, while his recent military exemption continues to spark curiosity and discussion.
