BTOB’s Minhyuk completes military service


K-pop boy band BTOB member Minhyuk, aka Huta, as with rappers Loco and Hanhae, have completed their military service.

The three celebrities enlisted on Feb. 7 last year and served for 19 months as conscripted policemen. 

“Huta is back!!!” BTOB posted on the group’s official Instagram account.

Cube Entertainment earlier said Minhyuk was already on vacation and he would be discharged on Sept. 12. 

“2020.9.12. It's been a long time but I don't know if you've been really well,'' Minhyuk wrote on Instagram upon discharge. 

Before his enlistment, he released his debut solo album “Hutazone” in January last year.

He will be seen in the upcoming movie “The Swordsman,” which will be released on Sept. 23. 

Minhyuk is the third member of BTOB to finish military service.

Leader Eunkwang was discharged from the military last April and Changsub finished his duty last Aug. 21. 

Sungjae and Hyunsik started their military service last May 11 while Ilhoon entered the military on May 28, becoming the last eligible member to enlist.

Peniel is not required to do military service as he is an American.

BTOB debuted in 2012. 

Loco posted, “I’m back!” on Instagram after his discharge.

He said that he thought military service would be difficult but he learned many things. 

All able-bodied Korean men are required by law to enlist in the military at 28.
