The latest episode of 'Ssul Jeon' touched on the topic of military service, which is required of able-bodied Korean men, and the MCs were left wondering how the Korean entertainment scene will cope with the number of top male stars that may be missing next year due to enlistment.

The panel talked about Yoo Seung Ho's teary discharge from the military and mentioned how it was a smart decision to enlist early on into his career rather than later. They also spoke about Lee Je Hoon's return from service to join the drama 'Secret Door', which ended up not doing well in ratings. However, they also believe he still has a promising future ahead of him as well. 


MC Park Ji Yoon welcomed the two back as she transitioned into the topic of the male stars who are now due to enlist; "Since they completed their military service, we send them our applause and support. And now the stars who are awaiting enlistment are the ones to cry," she commented.


The MCs listed Lee Seung Gi, Yoo Ah In, JYJ, TVXQ's Yunho, Lee Min Ho, Seo In Guk, and Joo Won as the next stars who are up for enlistment in 2015. These mentioned stars were all born either in 1986 or 1987, which means that won't be able to delay their enlistment much longer and must enter into service soon.


Seeing such a big list of top stars, Park Ji Yoon lamented, "Who will protect Korean entertainment?... The cold wind is already blowing [in my heart]," expressing that the hole left by these stars will certainly be felt. However, Kim Gu Ra shared that he thought differently. He mentioned that as many of these stars probably have year-long advertisement contracts, we won't really feel their absence since their CFs will be played on TV throughout the year.


In addition to the stars named on the show, fans know that there are many other 1986 to 1987-line idols who will be up for enlistment. Super Junior, especially, is one of the groups with many members in that age range.
