Taeyong of NCT is confirmed to depart for his mandatory military service. Additionally, he is the first member of the band who is set to enlist for the same.
His group’s agency SM Entertainment issued an official statement that read, “NCT’s Taeyong is all set to enlist for his military service, which he will depart for on April 15. He will serve in the Navy as an active-duty soldier.”
The statement also added that there won’t be any official events planned on the day he will start his service at the recruit training center. His enlistment will be held privately to prevent any incidents from taking place on-site due to congestion.
On this day, SM Entertainment urged the fans to keep supporting the artist and pray for his well-being as he fulfills his duty as a soldier in the Navy.
It was earlier hinted by the leader of NCT127 through an online fan club forum. In the series of messages, he spoke about his love and gratitude for his fans, while also delivering subtle reference to his military service.
