Kim Nam Gil received his draft notice for the army. He has to enlist by July 15 to fulfilling the country’s mandatory two-year military service.

He received one before he started filming “Bad Man” and fortunately he was able to postpone it, but right now, the drama is temporarily off air because of the World Cup.

Because Kim’s drama will start airing again, he is trying to postpone the draft notice once again.

Recently, actor Lee Jun-ki tried to postpone his military entrance date too, in order to finish up shooting for film “Grand Prix” and upcoming blockbuster TV series “Faith.”
But he eventually pulled out from both projects when he was unable to do so and entered the army on May 3.

“Bad Man” got good rating and already in the middle of production, so hopefully Kim Nam Gil can postpone the draft notice and filming going as well.
