Golden Horse Best Actor, Ethan Ruan (阮經天), has officially enlisted in the army to complete the mandatory military service requirement for men in Taiwan. Arriving at the camp yesterday, Ethan drove his private car straight into the grounds without the need for security clearance. The most surprising aspect was that Ethan’s girlfriend, Tiffany Hsu (許瑋甯), and his male assistant were also inside the car. No wonder rumors spread that he possessed “special privileges” [as a celebrity soldier] in the army!It was rumored that Ethan has been assigned to serve as the anti-drug ambassador as part of his alternative service in the army. He will join a touring committee to promote the army’s anti-drug campaign. The law required that an anti-drug ambassador possess a college degree; however, Ethan was only a high school graduate. It was questionable whether the authorities had relaxed the requirements for alternative service [in Ethan's case]. Regarding this matter, Ethan’s assistant claimed he was not informed about the situation.
In addition, Ethan’s assistant revealed that Ethan was adjusting well living in the army barracks. Yesterday, Ethan officially started his training courses, including drills such as running 3,000 meters.
