EXO's Sehun to begin military service on December 21

EXO’s Sehun is set to begin his military service on December 21.

According to Soompi, the South Korean idol shared the news through a handwritten letter uploaded on Weverse, Wednesday.

Sehun started his letter by asking his fans “Is everyone doing well and staying healthy?”

“I am writing this today because there is something I want to tell you,” he said. “I will begin my military service as of December 21. I feel sorry for delivering the news to EXO-L (EXO’s official fan club) so late.”

Sehun said that he has been spending time alone in recent days, looking after himself, and deeply contemplating.

“As a result, I’m greeting you like this [through a letter] without standing in front of you. I hope you will understand me not being able to greet you in person. I am really thankful to everyone who cares for me,” he added.

He ended his message by writing, "I hope everyone stays healthy until the day we meet again. I will also come back in good health. Thank you.”

In May, his fellow member Kai also enlisted in the South Korean military, making Sehun the final EXO member to enlist.

Meanwhile, their fellow member, Suho, is set to join the upcoming Asia Artist Awards, which will be held at the Philippine Arena on December 14.

Serve well, Sehun!
