It is really heartbreaking to think of our HJ going through such hardship, but I am glad as well that he didn't use his star status to make life easier for himself, his family and his fans. In the future when he looks back on his military service he can say with so much pride that he served his country as an ordinary soldier, and not look down with shame in his eyes and a sheepish smile on his face and whisper that he was an entertainment soldier. Not that JHJ would be prideful, he has always shown humility even if there is reason for him to be proud. And maybe people should stop saying "ordinary soldier", there is nothing ordinary in what they have to go through. Active duty soldiers sounds so tame, they should be called EXTRAORDINARY soldiers! I now know how to separate the real man from those who are pretending to be men among Korean male celebrities.
