Junjin off to the army

Another member from one of Korea's top male groups in Korea, Shinhwa's Junjin will be joining Epik High's DJ Tukutz, and enlist in the army. Junjin will be leaving on the 22nd of October for a month of basic training after having to leave Infinity Challenge.

Then again, "enlist" wouldn't be the right word here. Junjin has time and time again put off his mandatory military service by submitting medical reasons or acting reasons. He had also recently hurt his hip and his wrist during filming and applied to delay his enlistment but the request was denied. The government decided that it's finally time for Junjin to shave his head and don a raggy camouflage uniform.

JunJin leaves Infinity Challenge

A close friend of Junjin had this to say about him, "We didn't really expect the latest delay request to go through, and the date for basic training is already set for the 22nd so he came to a determined thought: 'Tough out the training and return healthy'."

Good luck to Junjin, DJ Tukutz, and the many others enlisting for military service. We hope you stay safe and come back in one piece! And remember, "don't ask, don't tell"!

Yes, Junjin is now 29 so putting off military service at his age now is veryy difficult.

This is what I hate about Korea….all man has to serve in the army….soon my favorite idols have to leave augggg!! WHY!!

@15: Korea has mandatory military service, because it is a small nation and can’t afford to have voluntary military service like the USA and many other countries. And don’t worry - Korea isn’t in any major war right now so Junjin will probably just be patrolling, doing clerical work, etc… military service isn’t all guns and violence sometimes smile

uwahh, i forgot that you have to shave your hair in the army..  i just can’t imagine all the guys like that ):  .  -sigh- two years..

@15: South Korea and North Korea are still ‘technically’ at war since I don’t think the peace treaty was ever signed after the Korean war. So they have this to train men in case anything should happen.

Have you been to Korea? they still have air raid drills from time to time. All traffic stops and helicopters and ambulances and military vehicles etc. are all over the place. One time there were tanks.
