Actor Nine Woo explained the controversy over military exemption.

Today (9th) afternoon, a production presentation for the new drama "Motel California" was held at MBC's Golden Mouse Hall in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Actors Lee Se-young, Nine Woo, Choi Min-soo, Kim Tae-hyung, Choi Hee-jin and Kim Hyung-min attended the scene.

On the same day, Ninewoo said, "I'm sorry to tell my colleagues about the controversy over military exemption."

He said, "When the controversy came out, I couldn't make a position right away because I was filming. "As it is clearly a sensitive issue, I had to make a quick decision, but I chose to stay silent," he said.

"Because viewers like my bright and energetic appearance, I've shown a lot of over-the-top performances so far. Personal reasons and disease names are difficult to tell. But I was honest because I wanted you to look at me as I am," he said.

This event is the first official appearance since Ninewoo's exemption from military service was announced last month.

At the time, the agency Hanada Company said, "We were waiting for contact from the Military Manpower Administration after being diagnosed as a fourth-grade supplementary service, but three years later, we were notified that we were exempted."

According to the Military Service Act, grades 1 to 3 are enlisted as active members. Grade 4 was classified as a supplement. According to the revised Military Service Act, active duty service is possible even if you want to make a fourth-grade decision from October 2021.

If you are not called up for three years after being judged as a fourth-grade supplementary service, you will be subject to a "military exemption."

wait three years last year as well More than 11,800 people were exempted, and this figure has been more than 10,000 since 2019. As a result, Ninewoo was also listed on the list.

However, Ninewoo did not specify the reason for being declared a fourth-grade supplementary service when he reported the military exemption. As a result, some questioned the background.
