It was belatedly confirmed that actor Song Deok-ho, who appeared in the Netflix original 'DP', was investigated by the police for evading military service.
On the afternoon of the 31st, Beasters Entertainment, Song Deok-ho's agency, said in an official position, "Song Deok-ho was looking for information on the Internet to postpone his military enlistment around the summer of last year, and after receiving consultation through Mr. A's blog, he made a wrong decision at the moment. I was judged to be a level 4 social worker in an unfair way, rather than delaying my military service, which was the initial purpose.”
He added, "Song Deok-ho is currently undergoing a police investigation, and he will diligently participate in the remaining prosecution investigations." Also, he deeply reflects on this incident and sincerely apologizes to the many people who have disappointed him. We apologize for causing controversy." .
Previously, a media outlet reported that Song Deok-ho got off the drama he was filming due to military service issues.
Recently, the Prosecution Service and the Military Manpower Administration have been charged with committing corruption in the military service on a large scale, such as running an online blog and requesting a re-examination of pro-sports and entertainers, claiming that they are suffering from epilepsy, and lowering their physical grade. Checked and investigation is ongoing.
Song Deok-ho debuted in 2018 with director Lee Chang-dong's movie 'Burning' and has been active.
