ASTRO's MJ Tearfully Announces Military Enlistment Date

ASTRO’s MJ has announced his plans to enlist in the military next month.

On April 9, ASTRO held a fan meeting to celebrate the sixth anniversary of their debut at the SK Olympic Handball Stadium in Seoul. During the event, MJ gave an emotional speech in which he announced to his fans directly that he would be enlisting in the military exactly one month later, on May 9.

MJ tearfully revealed, “I will be enlisting in the military on May 9. I’m so sorry that I have to deliver this kind of news today, when we’re finally meeting in person for the first time in a long while. But because of that, today is so precious for me, and I think it will be the day that I remember most.”

“I was so happy to meet AROHA [ASTRO’s fans] for the first time in a long while, and I will return as a cooler and more mature version of myself,” he continued. “So please enjoy our fan meeting up until the very end today, and please take good care of my fellow ASTRO members. Thank you, everyone.”
