Apparently, he's not a big fan of the fanfare.

Foregoing the typical pomp and circumstance most South Korean celebrities engage in before they head off for their mandatory enlistment in the South Korean armed forces with large crowds of devoted followers, 27-year-old actor Yoon Shi Yoon quietly reported for duty on Monday.

The actor, who is perhaps best known for his lead role on in the 2010 drama "King of Baking, Kim Takgu" entered the Marines at the Marine Corps Division Base in the city of Pohang, South Korea reportedly without informing the media or his fans.

"Yoon Shi Yoon entered the Marines at 1:50 p.m. today," a representative for the actor told eNEWS on Monday. "He will be carrying out his duties as a marine for two years."

The statement contained the first details Yoon's management released about the actor arriving at boot camp, as per the actor's wishes.

"We didn't announce this due to his request," the actor's rep said. "He wanted to enlist as simply a healthy Korean man, instead of as an actor."

Yoon, who reportedly applied to serve out his mandatory enlistment in his country's marine corps while he was filming the 2013 Korean Broadcasting System television drama "Prime Minister and I," claims he doesn't want any special treatment.

"Every man has to go to the army and I didn't want to cause any damage to the other soldiers because of me," Yoon said in an official statement. "I want to fulfill my military duties quietly."

All eligible males between the ages of 18 and 35 currently must enroll for between 21 and 24 months of military service in South Korea, with the length of mandatory enrollment varying by several months depending on which branch of the military they serve in.

Yoon will reportedly receive seven weeks of training at the Pohang military base, before becoming a marine.
