‘MR. ROVER GOES TO MILITARY’
On Thursday, May 11, 2023, EXO member Kai enlisted in the military, just a week after the sudden announcement was made regarding his conscription. He will be joining the public service department.
It was through a statement released on May 3, 2023, that SM Entertainment confirmed the enlistment of EXO member Kai.
SM also requested fans to respect Kai’s decision to enlist quietly. The venue and time was not disclosed to the public, hence the private send-off with fellow EXO members.
Kai’s sudden enlistment comes after the change in the regulations set by the Military Manpower Administration. The news also came amidst Kai and the rest of EXO’s preparation for their first full-group comeback in years.
SM, however, said that they will announce the new plan regarding EXO’s 2023 comeback in due course.
Stay healthy, Kai!
