Joe Cheng to Fulfill Military Service Next Year

It's time to experience life in the military.

Last year, the Conscription Agency of Taiwan named some of the Taiwanese male idols for missing their military service, and that included Ethan Ruan and Joe Cheng. These male idols were suspected of remaining their status as students to delay obligated enlistment. Most of them are still undergraduates, like Ethan, Joe, and Mike He, who are still sophomores in college after more than 5 years of studying.

While Ethan has decided to fulfill military service in September, Joe plans to follow the same footstep next year.

"I will finish my studies next year and join the army," the 28-year-old actor said. "Also, I will be able to pay off most of my mortgage by next year, so I am a little relieved."

As for Amber, her partner in the drama, exposed she and her boyfriend always break up before the holiday.
