Actor Yoo Ah In responded to the accusations of him trying to get a military exemption.

It was recently revealed that Yoo Ah In is suffering from a bone tumor.

Several netizens then started accusing Yoo Ah In of using his injury to get exempt from the mandatory service. In response to the latest report about Yoo Ah In's bone tumor, many netizens actually apologized for the past criticism on his delayed enlistment. However, some still accused him of using his health condition to get an exemption.

As his health continues to stir up controversy, Yoo Ah In spoke up to addressed the issue. He wrote a long letter to emphasize that he is not using his health condition to receive a military exemption.

Yoo Ah In stated, "I was aware that male celebrities can be misunderstood of using their injury or health condition to avoid military enlistment. That is why I completed all my schedule as planned and didn't reveal detailed information." He added, "It will definitely be possible for me to complete my mandatory service if an abnormal growth of the tumor does not occur." 

He emphasized, "My injury and the health condition that is currently creating controversies are my misfortune. It is not a tool for me to avoid military enlistment." 

Lastly, he said, "The fact that I have to ask for forgiveness to others for my misfortune struggles me but as an actor who grows with the public's love and attention, I decided to accept it as my responsibility. I will overcome the pain the controversy has caused and carry out the duty as a citizen. As a person with the power to influence society, I will do my best to complete the duty."
