The K-pop star is the latest member of the band to be conscripted.
On Thursday, November 27, GOT7 member Youngjae is set to begin his mandatory military service, which is required for all able-bodied Korean male between 18 to 35 years old.
His entry comes less than a month after his agency, AndBut Company, announced his enlistment date and details regarding it.

“To quietly and sincerely carry out his duties, there will be no separate send-off or other official event,” it wrote in its letter.
