He himself cancelled his name on the military specialist and expressed that he wanted to go on active duty. He's currently waiting for his date.

The police promotional unit has been through a lot of issue since the abolition of celebrity soldier system in 2013. This system was abolished for the inappropriate behavior of certain persons. Then, celebrities have been joining the police promotional unit which led to rumors about another 'special system for celebrities'. The public isn't happy with this as celebrities are then sorted into a theater department within the promotional unit. They are in charge of entertainment, events for the prevention of child abuse and police promotions. Cho Seung-woo, Ryu Soo-young, Lee Je-hoon, Kim Dong-wook and others were here.

However, actor Joo Won cancelled this himself and has decided to join the force on active duty.

Joo Won debuted in 2006 with a musical and starred in the 2010 drama "Bread, Love and Dreams". He starred in various other dramas since then and finally took home the SBS Drama Awards Grand Prize for his act in the drama "Yong Pal".
