According to the Sway News report, NCT's Taeyong will enter the training center on April 15th to receive basic military training, and fulfill his mandatory service at the Navy military band.
Taeyong will be the first NCT member to leave for the military. Taeil, the eldest member, was injured in a motorcycle accident in August last year and fractured his right thigh. Because of this, his enlistment was postponed so he can focus on his recovery.
In addition, Taeyong participated in an interview to apply for a military band in January and competed with six people for one position. It is known that he had a strong will to join the military despite his back pain.
During the selection process, Taeyong sang his own song and eventually passed the final interview on the 23rd with his impressive singing skills.
Koreans reacted to the news saying:
- Navy...?
- There's less than a month left. Come back safely.
- Ha... no way
- It feels real now that the date is coming up
- I hope you stay healthy and come back well.
- Oh, a military band
- I was worried because of his back injury, but he's going to active duty!
- Navy...? Isn't it long?
- Isn't it the same as the public service? As far as I remember
- 20 months Army 18 months
- Huh…? 🥺
- I'm worried about his back ㅠㅠ
- He's going now? Isn't he still a baby? ㅠㅠ
- I'm crying
- I can't believe NCT is already going to the military.
- I'm so sad
- Wow, this day has really come...
