On April 9, ASTRO organised a fan gathering to celebrate the sixth anniversary of their debut at Seoul’s SK Olympic Handball Stadium. During the event, MJ delivered a tearful message in which he informed his fans that he would be joining the army exactly one month later, on May 9.
“I will be enrolling in the military on May 9,” MJ stated, sobbing. I’m sorry to have to offer such bad news today when we’re finally meeting in person for the first time in a long time. But because of that, today is very special to me, and I believe it will be the day I remember the most.”
After MJ personally announced his enrollment during the fan gathering, Fantagio issued the following official statement:
