Nam Da Reum, a former child actor, quietly enlisted.

On February 8th, Nam Da Reum's mother said on social media, "He joined the military healthily and bravely on the scheduled date", adding, "He's the son of the country starting today. I look forward to your kind cooperation. Thank you for remembering and supporting him".

Nam Da Reum's mother said, "I think it would be so sad to see an empty room with lights off every night after you leave the army. I can't come into your room for a while. ㅜㅜ That's what happened. After sending my son to the training center, I repeatedly cried and stopped in an empty house with no lights on".

She then continued, "You turned off the boiler and left the dreamcatcher light on your bed. After seeing the lit dreamcatcher, it popped. You don't like posting such TMI, but… It's the first day I gave up my son to the country, and it's a special 8th night to start a new life with a haircut. Please understand this, son… Eat well, sleep well, and be well!", expressing her affection for her son.
