[edit] Military service
In June 2005, Ji Sung began his mandatory military service, drawing attention from the media when he chose to be a soldier rather than a public service agent.[1] He was designated as "public ambassador of military affairs" by the Military Manpower Administration in February, 2006.[2] Ji was joined by co-actor Ko Soo in March of the same year. He was discharged from the army on 6 June 2007, having completed his military duty.[3]
