What You Need To Know About Woo Do Hwan's Comeback Drama, 'Hunting Dogs'

Let's turn back time to mid-2020 when Woo Do Hwan stole our hearts in The King: Eternal Monarch when he played dual roles: the icy chief imperial bodyguard Jo Young and the over-the-top public service worker Jo Eun Seob. The drama was Do Hwan's breakout project with us fans waiting for his next big role, but *surprise surprise* he had other plans. In July, Do Hwan quietly enlisted in the military putting his acting career on pause.

But it's now November 2021, and the 29-year-old actor is officially on his final leave from the military and will officially be discharged on January 5, 2021. And yes, this means our dear Do Hwan will be back on the small screen.
