EDIT: Some are saying that it might be end of this year or early next year? I'll try to find actual article translations to update this post.

It has been found that JYJ’s Kim Junsu and Kim Jaejoong will be enlisting in the military this year.

 

Multiple sources in the K-pop industry have stated that the two singers are currently deciding on a date ahead of their military enlistment. In Kim Jaejoong’s case, he has already been given multiple draft notices, but has pushed back his enlistment due to reasons such as long periods of time spent overseas. However, it has become difficult for him to push back his enlistment any further.

 

A representative of the industry stated, “He is currently deciding on an enlistment date with his agency due to issues surrounding frequent overseas concerts and scheduled activities,†and “From what I know, he either plans to go near the end of this year, or next January to February at the latest.â€

Kim Junsu, who received a second grade active duty designation, is also in discussions about his enlistment date.

 

A representative stated, “Taking into consideration the current controversy surrounding celebrity soldiers, he would like to enlist as a regular solider.†He continued to add, “The enlistment of male celebrities has always been a sensitive topic, and both singers are of the opinion to go the regular track and avoid the criticism that follows a shaky celebrity enlistment. They can’t help but be cautious as their status as top stars will make their enlistment a hot topic.â€

 

Born in 1986 and 1987 respectively, Kim Jaejoong and Kim Junsu still have a bit of leeway age-wise in pushing back their enlistment, but both have already pushed it back numerous times. All three members of the group became the center of spotlight when they visited the Office of Military Manpower Administration for their physical checkups on the 14th of February, 2011. Kim Jaejoong’s draft notice set his enlistment for September, 2011 but was reported to have been pushed back to the following year. Now, the singer can’t help but be aware of public sentiment surrounding celebrity enlistments.

 

A representative of C-JeS stated, “All three members of JYJ plan to enlist in the military, like every other male in Korea.†However, he did not say much on when exactly the members would be enlisting.

 

Meanwhile, JYJ’s other member Park Yoochun has received a fourth grade reservist duty designation due to his asthma. There is no news yet on when Park Yoochun plans to enlist in the military.

To enlist as in their time is up or they just decided to enlist? And I want all 3 of them to enlist at the same time. Yoochun's gonna be so lonely if Jae and Junsu leave him :(

 

Yoochun can't enlist now while people have irrational hate for anyone not doing active duty. There's no way he can serve active duty because of his asthma alone.

SHINee are still young, they can push enlistment for another 3-4 years.

 

 

do you think SM just randomly picked SHINee to release two albums in korea, an album in japan, and two singles in japan + a big jpn tour, all in 6 months?

 

while the rest of their artists release like 1 thing a year?

 

the answer is NO. they will be enlisting in 2014 and they are being rewarded atm. i will make a note of this post and link to it when it happens.
