According to reports released on January 26, Kim Woo-bin was exempted from military service after being re-examined last year in November. According to his agency, SidusHQ, the actor was judged as a Grade 6, exempting him from military service entirely.

Last May, Kim Woo-bin announced that he has been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a rare type of cancer that affects the upper portion of the pharynx. Moreover, this form of cancer can cause further and more harmful complications because of its proximity to the throat, mouth, nasal cavity, and brain.

Since his diagnosis, the actor has been receiving regular treatment for his disease. In December the actor updated fans on his condition and treatment through a letter on his fan cafe. In the letter, he wrote, “Thanks to everyone’s prayers and support, I successfully completed my third anti-cancer treatment and fifth radiation treatment.”

We wish the best of luck and health to Kim Woo-bin as he continues his treatment.
