Seo In-guk writes letter to fans about military exemption

On March 28 actor and singer Seo In-guk signed up for his mandatory military service, but rumors followed. Because of trouble with his ankle -- he has cartilage and bone lesions that cause chronic pain -- he was exempted from military service.

In his letter posted on his fan café, Seo In-guk explained how he was surprised by netizen anger because fans commented that he was irresponsible. He had hesitated to explain that he'd gone through several medical examinations before the exemption came through because he had truly wanted to serve and made it known to the military. He didn't want his words to seem like an excuse, but he also wanted to clarify the situation.

We hope the best for Seo In-guk's condition and his pain and thank him for his honesty!
