Kim Woo-seok, Decision to be transferred to social service worker "Symptoms of herniated disc"

Musical actor Kim Woo-seok was assigned to supplementary service during his military service due to an injury.

His agency, Alien Company, explained on the 5th, "Kim Woo-seok, who enlisted in the army as an active-duty soldier in April 2023, was faithfully fulfilling his duty of service when he developed radiculopathy due to a herniated lumbar disc that he had been suffering from before, and he has been receiving continuous treatment while serving in the military."

He continued, "However, his symptoms did not improve, and he got worse to the point where he could not perform daily life or receive training." He went on to say, "After going through a screening process in accordance with legal regulations, the military determined that he was unfit for active duty, and he was finally transferred to a social service worker position while serving as an active-duty soldier."

They say his condition worsened while he was serving in the military. He continued to receive treatment and serve, but it seems they decided it was no longer possible for him to continue serving...
