Lee Jae-wook to Release New Album Post-Enlistment

Actor Lee Jae-wook will release a new album after enlisting in the military, soothing fans' disappointment. The new album is scheduled to be released on the 11th.

Lee Jae-wook, who entered the training center on the 18th of last month, will continue his service as an active-duty soldier in the army after completing military training. Although he will have a temporary hiatus due to his military service, he is expected to continue his activities even during his service through music and projects that were prepared in advance before his enlistment.

Lee Jae-wook has consistently showcased his outstanding vocal abilities. In 2024, he appeared on the KBS2 entertainment program 'The Seasons - Zico's Artist' and performed a duet with Zico on Primary's 'Johnny.' When he sang Park Jae-jung's 'Let's Break Up,' he elicited admiration with his surprising vocal talent. Furthermore, he demonstrated his musical talent by delivering a flawless performance as a singer at global fan meetings and other events.

In addition to his activities as a singer, his return as an actor will also happen simultaneously. Lee Jae-wook will return to the small screen through 'Doctor Smbo,' the new ENA Monday-Tuesday drama and Genie TV original drama that begins its first broadcast on the 1st.

'Doctor Smbo' is a medical isolated romantic comedy based on the webtoon 'Zombie Doctor.' It tells the story of Do Ji, a public health doctor (played by Lee Jae-wook) assigned to the infamous island of Pyeondongdo, and Yuk Ha-ri, a nurse with many secrets (played by Shin Ye-eun). Lee Jae-wook will take on the role of Do Ji, a doctor who is a former plastic surgeon with trauma related to the island and the sea, marking his first attempt at playing a doctor character since his debut.
