Wooyoung of 2PM will start his military service next month.
The singer will enlist on July 9. He will be the third member of the six-piece K-pop act to join the Army, following bandmates Ock Taek-yeon and Jun.K. “As he wants to enlist in the Army quietly, the place of enlistment will not be revealed,” an official from JYP Entertainment said.
Wooyoung hinted at his plan at a fan event on June 16, saying the event could be his last official schedule.
