Many fans were on hand to welcome him back to civilian life as he walked out of his base in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.

"It doesn't feel real right now. Maybe I'll realize [that my military service is over] tomorrow morning when I don't hear the alarm", he said.

Ok enlisted in September 2017 and received recognition for exemplary service while fulfilling his duty. He won praise from many Koreans for giving up his U.S. green card and undergoing two back operations to be cleared for active duty.

Since his debut as a member of 2PM in 2008, Ok has forged a career in both singing and acting.
