Lee Seung-hoon, a member of South Korean group WINNER, will commence military service on Thursday.
Lee revealed the news to his fans on April 12 and asked for their understanding that he had not announced it sooner. “I’ll be healthy and do my best until I return,” wrote Lee, according to Soompi.
Lee will start his service at a military training camp in Nonsan in the province of South Chungcheong, before being assigned to another division.
