On May 1st, Chanyeol was promoted to 'Sergeant' in the military. He has been promoted to Sergeant one month earlier than the normally scheduled date because of a special recommendation for his exceptional conduct in the military. This is his second early promotion.

Back in November 2021, he was promoted as a 'Corporal' one month earlier than expected because he passed the "special warrior" test.

Chanyeol is currently acting in a military musical, "Blue Helmet: A Song Of Meissa," where he got the leading role. He is scheduled to be discharged on the 28th of September 2022.
