Well, a fourth name will be joining that list, and he is none other than actor Yeo Jin Goo, who was just accepted into the unit today. His representatives (since he does not currently have an agency) shared a statement on his military enlistment.
Hello, we would like to inform you about Yeo Jin Goo’s military service.
Actor Yeo Jin Goo has been selected for the KATUSA (Korean Augmentation to the United States Army) unit and will serve for about a year and a half starting on December 15.

Thank you.
