Since the news broke of the bone tumor, details have remained sparse. The agency refused to confirm or deny that the tumor was serious to one news outlet, expressing concern for the actor's privacy. Meanwhile, another news outlet was told that the tumor was benign and that Yoo Ah-in would enlist as soon as he was cleared for duty. The agency has promised that more detalis will follow as soon as more information is available.

There has been a lot of speculation regarding the long delay in Yoo Ah-in's enlistment for military duty. While some assumed that the actor was attempting to avoid serving altogether, others pointed to a shoulder injury he sustained while filming "Tough as Iron" in 2013, which was further exacerbated in 2015 while filming "Veteran". Yoo Ah-in was put on hold again at his last physical examination for army duty in December of 2016.

Yoo Ah-in is currently up for the lead role in tvN's "Chicago Typewriter", a drama about writers from the 1930s who are reincarnated in the present as a bestselling author in a slump, his anti-fan, and his ghostwriter. Whether his casting will be affected by the news is unclear, but either way, here's hoping he recovers quickly.
