On July 23rd, SS501's Kim Kyu Jong made his official enlistment in the Korean army and began his four weeks of training at the Junju recruit training center.
After his month of training, Kim Kyu Jong will be serving as a public service personnel for the next two years. A representative of his agency stated, "Heo Young Saeng will be at the scene of Kim Kyu Jong's enlistment to bid his friend farewell." However, in addition to Heo Young Saeng, fellow member Kim Hyun Jun also bid his farewell to Kim Kyu Jong.
Kim Kyu Jong was actually eligible for exemption from the mandatory enlistment law for being a type B hepatitis carrier, but changes in the law terminated the exemption and switched his position to that of a public service personnel.
He is the first out of the members to enlist.
