Jung Il Woo (9.09.1987) isn't going to the army during 2 coming years. Instead, he sets up his own agency. http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/34434

Do you remember Super Junior Heechul's interview of 2011 about his first days in the army? http://www.allkpop.com/article/2011/09/super-juniors-heechul-shares-a-video-interview-about-his-military-life#axzz2eqVtKH4U
I wonder, what other celebrities could tell. Does anyone know anything about it?

Lee Tae Sung (1985/04/21) will be enlisted this October after... wedding ceremony.
http://www.allkpop.com/article/2013/09/rooftop-prince-lee-tae-sung-reported-to-be-holding-wedding-ceremony-enlisting-next-month#axzz2fIg51wXm
So he's the 2nd actor (after Park Ki Woong (1985/02/13)) who to leave for the army next month.

What about Lee Min Ki (1985/01/16) and Choi Jin Hyuk (1985/02/09) - it's still a question.

Sorry, Lee Kwang Soo has completed his military services before his debut. He mentioned it in the interview: http://www.korean-drama-guide.com/INTERVIEW-Actor-Lee-Gwang-soo.html
So, that's all right.
