Why is Weak Hero Class 1 actor Shin Seung Ho exempted from military service? Agency reveals
Shin Seung Ho, the skilled South Korean actor, has revealed a previously unknown injury, thereby also confirming his exemption from military service. As all able-bodied men need to enlist for national duty after the age of 18, Shin Seung Ho's military hiatus was an expected happening for the fans. However, a new report by TenAsia on June 18 revealed how the actor has been exempted from service. His agency confirmed an ACL as the cause behind his change in military plans.
KINGKONG by Starship's response to Shin Seung Ho's military exemption
According to another update from Sports Chosun revealed why Shin Seung Ho has not announced his military enlistment despite turning 30 this year. They shared, 'Shin Seung Ho underwent surgery for a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament or an ACL while performing personal schedules in 2021, and was subsequently exempted from military service.'
The initial report claimed that while the injury happened in the middle of a drama production schedule, Shin Seung Ho was able to wrap his filming successfully due to the kind consideration of the staff members on set. He is said to have undergone surgery to repair his ACL, and took the physical exam determining his military grade. As a result of the examination, he was deemed unfit for active service and was granted an exception, exempting him from it.
The K-dramas in question could have been D.P., which shot him to fame or Alchemy of Souls, which remains one of Shin Seung Ho's most talked about roles so far alongside Weak Hero Class 1. The shows released in 2021 and 2022, respectively, match the alleged timeline of events.
Meanwhile, born on November 11, 1995, the actor was planning a career in football, which is said to have passed without any major injuries. He then moved to modeling with his 6'1' frame, gaining praise. When he finally moved to acting in 2018, Shin Seung Ho earned the long-overdue flowers for his work.

Will BTS release new music in March 2026? BIGHIT MUSIC responds to comeback reunion reports
BTS is gearing up for an all-member comeback following the military discharges of all its seven members. After Jin and J-Hope's return last year, RM and V, as well as Jimin and Jungkook, made their own returns this month. Meanwhile, SUGA is all set to complete his own alternative social service on June 20, making a return to civilian life on the following day. Previously, a report from The Korea Herald said that BTS will make a comeback to the music scene in March 2026, according to multiple insiders who claimed that they knew about their release plans. Now, BIGHIT MUSIC has denied any such plans. BTS' agency confirms if the release plans were true In a new statement revealed by Soompi, it was noted that the team will make a full group comeback in March 2026. The initial report also cited insiders who said that despite not setting an exact date for the release, the schedule was in place for the group's new album, and it was said to be mid-March. They claimed that the timeline was similar to that of TOMORROW X TOGETHER, BTS' junior group in the agency. The overseas source revealed how the plan was to have BTS release new music, followed by TXT, or possibly the other way round. The coverage included alleged plans for BELIFT LAB group, HYBE's other label, ENHYPEN's music schedule. It was said that the I-LAND-based team earlier planned a mid-March release but had to move it to January of the coming year, to accommodate BTS' plans and avoid any overlap. Addressing the most important rumor of them all, the K-pop team's agency, BIGHIT MUSIC, said, 'Nothing has yet been decided about [BTS'] comeback schedule.'
