Jinyoung, the actor and singer from the popular K-pop group GOT7, is preparing to enlist in the military next month. The announcement was made on April 5, with BH Entertainment confirming that Jinyoung would serve as an active duty soldier beginning May 8, 2023. After Jay B, Jinyoung is the second member of GOT7 to enlist in the military. Jay B is currently serving as a public servant.

In response to the news, Jinyoung shared a handwritten note with his fans on social media, reassuring them that he still had time before his enlistment and encouraging them not to shed tears. He promised that he would return healthy.




Jinyoung's agency stated that he would receive basic military training at the training center before serving as an active-duty soldier. Meanwhile, GOT7 members Youngjae and Yugyeom are also preparing to enlist, but Mark Tuan, Jackson Wang, and BamBam will not be required to do so as they are not South Korean citizens.

Before his enlistment, Jinyoung released his first solo album, "Chapter 0: WITH," in January. He was the last member of GOT7 to release a solo album. Additionally, he appeared in the dramas "Yumi's Cells 2" and "Reborn Rich" in minor roles.

Following Jinyoung, Jay B and BamBam have also released solo albums, with BamBam dropping "Sour & Sweet" in March. While Jinyoung prepares for his military service, his fans can continue to enjoy his music and look forward to his safe return.
