Born in 1994, he is the second member of GOT7 to serve in the military after Jay B. Jinyoung took to Instagram to confirm his enlistment, a mandatory duty for all Korean men. “It's gotten a lot warmer. Are you all doing well? You were surprised to hear about my enlistment, right? As disclosed, I will join the military on May 8 to fulfill my national defense duty,” he said. He added, “I'm sure everyone is worried, but I think I've gotten calmer and more reassured after meeting you. So, thinking about you, I promise you that I will be healthy, experience many things, and return as a better person.” “Then see you soon. Thank you always and I love you,” he said. Last February, he visited the Philippines and held his “Rendezvous: 2023 Park Jin-young Fan Concert in Manila.” The filming for his drama “The Witch” was finished last month, Korean media reported.
