This is Fantagio.

After receiving basic military training at the training center on April 17 (Monday), Ong Seong Wu is scheduled to fulfill his military service as an active-duty soldier.

To minimize crowding on the day of enlistment, no separate official event will be held, and since the entrance ceremony to the recruit training center is a private event attended by many soldiers and their families, we ask fans to refrain from visiting.

Thank you.
