On July 21, 2015, Jung Yun-ho enlisted in the 26th Division in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, on active duty to receive recruit training . Yunho did not want his fans to go through the trouble of seeing him off, so he repeatedly asked not to disclose the location of the service, and only his family, friends and agent accompanied him, but there were still a large number of media and fans from various countries who found out the news and waited outside the door of the training center early in the morning, but following the original intention of low-key enlistment, Yunho did not stay there.
During the five-week training program, Jung became the squadron leader of all the soldiers in the unit and also served as the squad leader due to his excellent performance.
On August 27, 2015, when the recruit training was completed, Jung was awarded the "Most Outstanding Trainer" award for his first-place overall score in the final exam. He also officially entered the 26th Division of the "Fire and Light Unit", one of the six strongest units in the Korean Army.

Yoon Ho's stage name "Yu Halo" is transliterated from the Korean pronunciation of the English name U-KNOW, which means sunshine in Korean, and Halo is pronounced the same way as salt in Korean, so the word "Yu Halo" encompasses sunshine and salt. The word "Yu" contains the meaning of sunshine and salt, and as the name suggests, as the captain of the group, he is as important as sunshine and salt in the group.
Leader
Yoon Ho is the leader of the South Korean group Dongfang Shenqi, who once won the 1st place in the polls as the "stable leader". Yunho is recognized in the entertainment industry as a good person who is very polite to elders. Although he is strong in appearance and gives a great sense of security to his teammates and Queen, he doesn't cry in front of his younger brothers even if he is sad because he is the captain of the team. He is a natural leader. Whether it's the artistry of speech, the management of expressions, or the natural leadership temperament, the influence of words and actions to set an example, Yunho is definitely the right choice for the captain. As the most leading person in the team, he took the initiative to handle the team's PR affairs, and the other members have personally said, "Without Yunho, there is no Oriental Divine Rising!" .
The king of dance, but also a singer
Yoon Ho is recognized as Korea's third generation of the king of dance, has been called a "dance machine," Yunho, by the media commented that "there is no type of dance he can not dance," "... every type of dance after the dance of the team, the team will be the most important thing. Every type of dance is interpreted by Yunho with a strong Jung Yunho Style. However, he believes that, "Although people sigh when they see dances, songs are touching, and I became a singer because I wanted to touch people." With this belief, Yunho has never lowered his expectations of himself in the process of singing and songwriting, and has become a powerful singer and a talented creator through the process.
Born in a small city in the southern part of Jeolla Province, South Korea, Yunho often had a regional accent that made him sound rustic at the beginning of his career, but unlike other young people who try to hide it out of vanity, Yunho has never been ashamed of it, and proudly introduces himself as a "Gwangju son" on various public occasions.
The son of Gwangju is the son of Gwangju," he said.
In addition to his generous support for charities and education in his hometown, Yunho also actively responded to various promotional activities in his hometown. on April 22, 2011, Yunho participated in the recording of SBS's 'Sweet Hometown' program, and showed Yunho's love for his hometown through a connection with his hometown friends and family. On September 5, 2013, Jung Yunho participated in a design exhibition in Gwangju as an image ambassador for the Gwangju Biennale. On July 3, 2015, Yunho saved his last public stage before enlisting in the military for the opening ceremony of the Summer World University Games held in his hometown.
Today, Yunho has become the pride of his hometown Gwangju, and the first thing many people think of when they think of Gwangju in Jeolla Province is "U-know Yunho's hometown".
Hard work doesn't betray
Yoon Ho has publicly said more than once, "Hard work doesn't betray me, and I want people to think that Yunho is a hard worker more than a talented one." He has also said, "Every time, every time, there is a higher goal, challenging a different image, and constantly working hard, this part is what I am proud of." , "There seems to be a limit no matter how hard you try, but I don't want to lose to that limit."
Yoon Ho wrote the phrase "Effort does not betray," which is a motto for him, in a TVXQ! related peripheral that went on sale at Japanese peripheral store SUM in 2015.
Walking R18
Shinee's fans who went to see SMT said that Yunho was too handsome and sexy, and was like a walking R18. Yunho was described as a walking R18 due to his sexy looks and body, as well as his domineering style and impetuous and seductive expression on the stage, and this moniker has been widely used to describe him. The name "R18" is very apt, and the moniker has spread far and wide.
Jung Caucasian
Yoon Ho has his own philosophy about painting. Yunho, who once said, "Only Picasso can understand my paintings," basically creates his paintings out of improvisation, with strange shapes and a very abstract and realistic style. His soulful painting "Rhinoceros" is exhibited in the Da Vinci Museum in Jeju Island, and the work is also being re-created in a variety of ways in the private sector.
The name that will always be guarded
Yoon Ho once said, "Dongfang Shenqi is the only home for me," and he has given his all to Dongfang Shenqi.
The writer-director of the Korean version of 'Man of Style' once openly said that 'Goh Joon Bong' was specially designed for Yunho and waited for him for two years, but in the end, Yunho gave up the role because of the Japanese schedule of Oriental Divine Ki. For a similar reason, he missed out on the role of Lee Hwi Kyung, the second male lead in the Korean drama 'You Who Came From The Stars'. 'Kim Yeon Yeol's Kiss&Cry' was a variety show that Yoon-ho poured his time, energy and efforts into, but he regretted to quit halfway through the show because of the hectic schedule of Dongfang Shenqi as they were preparing for their tour in Japan. ......
The willingness to give and sacrifice for the team is the big ego side of Yunho's character. He is also a member of the National Assembly of the United States and the National Assembly of the United States of America. Because he doesn't want to be forgotten, he chooses to work twice as hard and use his undoubted achievements to shatter those doubts. "The Dongfang Shenqi is about to set sail from now on, everyone who wants to take a ride, please bring your trust with you, because we will never stop." I trust my fans
This was one of the early variety shows where the crew discussed with those around them beforehand to hide the surprise from the person in order to test their reaction. At the time, the show arranged for a crowd actor to take the opportunity to falsely accuse a fan of stealing something at a meet-and-greet meal between the fan and the members of Eastern Divine Rise, and Yunho, who had no knowledge of the secret filming, stepped up to defend the fan at the scene. During the argument, the actor pretended to find his wallet and tried to leave, but Jung Yunho immediately stopped him and insisted that he apologize to his fan. During the tug of war, the actor tried to give Yunho a note with the truth written on it, but Jung Yunho, who thought the actor was trying to give him money, said angrily, "I don't want your money!" Righteously angry over the fan's matter, Yunho didn't stop at all, and in the end, the crew was relieved when they informed him that this was a covert filming.
Excuse me
On February 10, 2012, at the airport in Thailand, a fan fell down because of the chaos of too many fans at the scene, and Yunho took off his sunglasses and shouted "Excuse me! He also signaled the crowd to make enough room for the fallen person to make sure she was not trampled by the crowd.
In 2008, when Yunho was about to cross the street with a large number of fans trailing behind, one girl didn't notice the approaching car and was pulled to the side of the road by Yunho's hand in time.
The two small incidents have become typical of celebrities who care about the safety of their fans. Focusing on public safety and caring for the safety of fans is a reflection of Yunho's personal qualities. Unforgettable
Yoon Ho has the habit of collecting coins. He has collected more than 30,000 coins and has a "chic" piggy bank, a drinking water bucket. "Since I came to Seoul from Gwangju, life as a trainee was really hard, so I got into the habit of collecting coins." , "Whenever I put in coins I remember when I first came to Seoul and return to my beginnings." Yunho said as much on 2008's 'Night Heart Wan Wan'.
Because he went through hard times and received help from some people at that time, Yunho was grateful after reaping success later in his career and often helped his juniors and others who were having a hard time in life . He has a goal to spend all his coins on good deeds when they accumulate to 3 million won.
He got his parents a new car even though he doesn't have a luxury car, and bought them a big house even though he doesn't have a mansion. "I don't think it takes a lot of money. If I can be a motivation (to work hard) for anyone, just that's enough for me." This is Yunho's value. Thrifty with himself and generous to others, he has always been passionate about charity , and even though he has been on the road for more than 10 years, he still maintains his beginnings.
The stage is the place to be
In 2009, the activities of the team Dongfang Shenqi were completely suspended due to the termination of the contract of a former member of the group. Yunho said that it was just a blank period at that time, and as soon as he saw the performances on TV, he was even sadder, so he didn't even watch TV at all. At first he drank a lot of alcohol in depression and talked to his friends a lot. But it didn't help. You can forget your worries for a moment when you drink, but afterward your heart is even emptier.
So then he looked at the subway map and started walking, wandering around without a destination. Once Yunho went to the fish market in the middle of the night and saw that the people doing business there were working very seriously, and he sensed that people who were busy in their work were happy. So he inwardly wondered, "What am I doing? What am I doing to be happiest?" After asking himself over and over again, Yunho found the answer. "I knew that I just love to stand on stage and sing and dance, so I revitalized myself to get on stage again." Yunho said.
"I don't want to go back to those days, so now I feel happy just standing on stage."
How much he loves the stage defines his attitude towards it.
Always 90°
As the one who leads the whole team in the group, the position of the captain gives him a lot more to bear and responsibility. Since his debut, Jung Yunho has always been a humble and courteous person, and he has never slacked off on etiquette. in 2006, at the age of 20, he insisted on completing his stage performance with a high fever, but still bowed and thanked those around him one by one, which was visible in the video taken as many as 18 times . The only time in his life that he didn't take a full 90° bow was in 2007 when he suffered a lumbar spine injury.During the curtain call of the SMT show in 2010, Kang Ta seniors handed the microphone to Yunho at the end of the show to give a speech, and many fans commented that this gesture symbolized the change of an era, and at the end of the show, when almost everyone waved and turned to walk away, Jungho stayed on the stage and bowed y. By now, even though he has led the team to unprecedented heights and is a senior as an entertainer, on stages, launches, and live shows where Jung Yunho is present, his acknowledgement is always an all-directional, super 90-degree bow .
"The higher you stand, the lower you lower your posture." Jung Yun-ho has used his acting career to carry out this phrase very well. Often, in place of words, Jung Yunho speaks with his actions and attitude. Thumbs up
Thumbs up is a promise between Yunho and his grandfather. Yunho, who had not yet made his debut, saw his grandfather for the last time when he was dying, and his thumbs up was the last gesture he made to him, which is y engraved in Yunho's memory as his last impression. The death of his grandfather brought Yunho a lot of regrets, and he cried for 3 days about it. After crying, he quietly made a promise to himself that he would never cry again until he felt that he had done the best he could. Since then, we have seen a Jung Yunho who will always give a thumbs up and will never shed a tear in the face of even the greatest of wounds.
At his June 14, 2015 concert at Jamsil Arena in Seoul, his last concert before enlisting in the army, Yunho once again gave a thumbs-up to his fans off stage, proudly exclaiming, "Grandpa, I did it!"
Many people interpreted Yunho's "best time" to be when he reached a certain height in his acting career, but Yunho himself confirmed that his "best time" is not winning awards or breaking records, but rather, he adheres to his original beliefs, perseveres and does the best he can in the complicated world. However, Yunho himself confirms that he "does his best" not by winning awards or breaking records, but by adhering to his original spirit in the complicated world, persevering and being the best of himself. So when you see Jung Yun-ho, don't be shy to give him a thumbs up, and remember to quietly give yourself a thumbs up when you want to give up. Scars from early childhood:
When Yunho was 2 years old, he and his mom were playing on the roof when they accidentally fell and landed face first on the left side of the roof, leaving a long scar .
