JunJin unable to go to New York?

JunJin has revealed the real reason on why he could not attend MBC's Infinity Challenge - Destination: New York project.

For those who cannot recall what this whole fuss is about, on the episode which aired on the 18th of July, three of the Infinity Challenge members (Yoo Jae Suk, Noh Hong Chul and Jun Jin) were randomly chosen to go to New York after spinning the wheel of fortune.

JunJin was however unable to attend the New York project because JunJin will be enlisting for the military on the 22nd. JunJin's manager said, "Because of JunJin's upcoming enlistment, he is in a situation where he is not able to travel overseas."

JunJin was actually supposed to enlist last October, but due to his physical condition and work, he had delayed his enlistment for 3 times until this month.

With JunJin being 29 this year, it's difficult for him to delay the enlistment once more. If so, JunJin's last recording of Infinity Challenge be today, 15th October, and currently in the midst of filming.

A representative for MBC stated, "We are surprised about this sudden notice for JunJin." JunJin has filed for another delay in the enlistment due to a pending surgery to be done on his injured wrist, but if it's not approved, he will have to enlist himself on 22nd October and receive 4 weeks of basic military training.

I have no clue why people still care about this dude.  You are old and washed up, stop trying to be famous! No one listens to your shit.

Well I always thought he should get it over with so that’s actually a good thing. Will miss him on IC though.

@ 6, just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean other do not.
We care about him for the same reason you care about your favorite artists.
And note that you really didn’t have to read AND reply if you don’t care.

He needs to man up and get that shit taken care of. Fawk he’s 29? He SHOULD have gotten it taken care of like some of his other band mates (who needed to). And if he don’t want to… marry a chick with American citizenship (jp).::::
But for real? If the men of Korea feel that compulsory military service is whack… they should do something about it. *AHEM* CALL TO SOCIAL ACTION- PLUG FOR REUNIFICATION OR AT LEAST A PEACE TREATY. Else? Shaddup and quit making excuses. I say all the fan girls of every kpop boy idol group should unite to stage a big demonstration/protest and get a peace treaty signed so that no boy id(i)o(t)l member ever has to go off to the military ever again. DO IT GALS. What are y’all waitin for?::::
Oh nevermind… a lot of fangirls are still too concerned trying to address the travesty that is Jaebom being “ousted” from 2pm via flash mobs and ridiculous boycotts. Yup. That’s where our priorities are. No offense to Jaebom.

omg… seriously.. can people cool it?? Junjin’s trying his hardest too. Honestly.. even though he’s 29, his health is that of a 60 year old just like every other celebrity out there. For those of the people who say he’s too chicken to do it, I want to see you do what HE does and NOT request for delays to enlist.

@6 ‘I have no clue why people still care about this dude’ more like you have no brain.. you don’t like him. Ok, that’s your business, but do you need to say things like that, if you know nothing about him so don’t say anything . He’s Junjin of Shinhwa which is a legendary group and ALREADY VERY FAMOUS because of their abilities that they have proved for more than ten years. They are LEGEND and what’s wrong if they’re old.. because they exist for so long and i bet they’re much more greater than some YOUNG groups(no offense, i mean some)

@9 he didn’t not want to go.  He’s a real man. This time it’s due to his surgery. He always get hurt somehow..  But yeah, i’m quite happy he will enlist for real this time. It’s every man duty that has to be done.

Shinhwa and Shinhwa Changjo Fighting!! ^O^

People keep delaying their military service over and over again until they’re too old and tired to perform and they just stick it out for a desk job. C’mon! Be a man and just do it already.

all these girls and people who don’t even live in korea are saying how cowardly these guys are and shit but if you were a celebrity with shows and stuff why would you want to go to the military? its just rude and plain dumb to talk shit about junjin or other people..and junjin was actually physically unable so i dont get what the big deal is. and number 9 makes no sense..go back to school

oh man, I think if I was a korean male, I’d get the military stuff done EARLY :\ like how Changmin did his before his debut with 2PM. better to get it out of the way~

@20: The reason that all males have compulsory military service is because Korea is still technically in a state of war. It’s just a cease fire. Just because I don’t live in Korea doesn’t mean I didn’t go to college with dudes that had to go back for it and have plenty of long drawn out conversations. Every male Korean citizen KNOWS he HAS to go at some point. It’s almost a right of passage. I say that’s pretty archaic too (making my previous comment sound a little contradictory). But, if you’re not going to CHANGE something (via peace treaty or working towards reunification) I say stop trying to get around it and wanting special treatment because you’re a celebrity. :::
My comment at the end was referring to the fact that fangirls are willing to do crazy things like flashmobs and boycotts and sit-ins to get ONE dude to be reinstated to an idol group… but neglect to realize why their idols go off to military for 2 years. They just say “oh I’m so sad… I’ll be waiting for you!” It’s so ingrained (status quo) that they all go that we don’t consider that it CAN and SHOULD be changed. ::::
NOTE: I didn’t say he was a coward. I said if he isn’t going to work towards progress/change he should just deal with it and get it done already. If he’s really that physically unable then I’m sure he would have been considered exempt by now. Going at the age of 29/30 just made it harder on himself (both because of aged body AND because of rank issues).

Number 20 I don’t know why you told me to go back to school. No hard feelings though. I have a huge problem with compulsory military service and whenever it comes up on Allkpop I make a big stink and let people know… NO. Korean war never ended. And YES that needs to change.

Man, I hate how South Korea has to do mandatory military service -_- 2AM’s Changmin was SMART for being able to get his priorities down before joining One Day… But it hurts to realize that ALL Korean guys must do this! I can’t imagine DBSK, Super Junior & ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY SHINee having to go through this too. Imagine Taemin (OR ACTUALLY, Onew, since he’s the oldest D:) getting ready for the military LOL, it’s hard to believe! Tukutz just left… Junjin’s going soon… it hurts ]: I remember former male Korean celebs who’ve tried to avoid doing the service & in the end got banned from the country/hated by the citizens for doing so. ...Countries who don’t have mandatory service are VERY lucky. “/

:(
i guess its about time he went but still.
it’s sad.
changmin is smart cause he took care of that before he went to be famous and stuff!
i think that boys should do that first before they try to be famous.
but most of the groups start off pretty young. so i guess its kinda hard.

The man’s nearly died from and woken up from a coma, practically blind in one eye, periodically broken his nose, fingers, arms, and more recently his back and wrist from filming IC and various car accidents; all work related. He sacrifices a lot for his work, so just leave him alone, he’ll go when he needs to.

Junjin fighting! We’ll miss you.
