While the other
SS501 members embark on solo activities, member
Kim Kyu Jong will be reporting for his mandatory military service on July 23rd.
On July 2nd,
B2M Entertainment
announced that Kim Kyu Jong would be entering the Recruit Training
Center (RTC) on the 23rd. There, he will have basic training for four
weeks, before officially enlisting in the army for 2 years.
It has been additionally
reported that the SS501 member was initially exempted from mandatory
military service due to the fact that he was found to be a hepatitis
B-type carrier. After the revision of the military service law, however,
Kim Kyu Jong has been classified as draftable, and must now fulfill his
military service.
Last month, Kim Kyu Jong commented on this piece of news at his fellow member
Kim Hyung Joon‘s showcase, saying, “
Everyone
goes to the military; I have nothing to say in particular. The other
members will take care of my vacant spot, and I will of course return
from my military service to [eventually] take my position [again].”
Despite the few words he shared,
it seems that Kim Kyu Jong is planning on formally saying goodbye, as
the SS501 member will be giving his fans a meaningful, original
composition as a present sometime in the near future.
