The popular Korean singer and actor Jung Jihi Hong, better known under the pseudonym Rain, demobilized after 21 months of service in the army. A crowd of fans of a star who met him with a standing ovation gathered near the Building of the Ministry of Defense in Seoul, the Russian BBC service reports.
The 31-year-old singer was in the center of the scandal in January because of a meeting with his lover, a television actress Kim The He, in which many suspected a violation of the charter.
All South Korean men suitable for military service are required to serve in the army, since the state is formally at war.
Jung Ji Hong - the star of the films "I am a cyborg, but this is normal" and "Ninja -killer" - recorded seven albums in the genre of the so -called Korean priest.
