DAY6’s Young K Shows Off Shaved Head Ahead Of His Enlistment, And The Members Are Emotional Too
DAY6‘s Young K is the latest member to enlist in the military.
Leader Sungjin enlisted in March of this year. In August, Young K announced that he would be following. He left for mandatory military enlistment in the afternoon of October 12. He has now enlisted at a new recruit training center.
Following Young K’s completion of basic military training, he will serve in the KATUSA branch of the Republic Of Korea (ROK) Army. He is the first K-Pop idol to be accepted in this highly sought-after, low-acceptance branch.
Before leaving, Young K made his solo debut with Eternal. Also, on October 10, he finished all activities as DJ for KBS Cool FM’s DAY6’s Kiss the Radio.
It is never easy to watch idols leave to fulfill their duty, but Young K has always comforted MyDays. Before he left, he held a live broadcast one last time.
he really sang stand by me before leaving…….no youngk you can’t go like this 😭😭😭😭

He, honestly, totally pulls off the shaved head just like Sungjin does!
Their hairstylist even shared a shot of hair from the shavings. They did the same for Sungjin too!

No one misses Young K more than the members! Dowoon has since even held an Instagram Live, clearly missing his hyung. He said that before sending Young K off, they had breakfast together.
We ate gook and rice together for breakfast.

"Hyung, going?"
"Should I turn on live?"And so, Dowoon is on Instagram Live lmao. Man, we haven't gotten over Young K yet. 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/cxg7ZDTNka

Likewise, Wonpil has been sharing on Bubble about Young K’s departure. He said that after Sungjin left for the military, he looked in his room. Today, he did the same with Young K, but he feels better. We can’t imagine how empty the place must feel without them both now!
We can’t blame the remaining members for feeling sad right now as 2/5 of DAY6 are gone. We look forward to the day they can all be reunited. Until then, we wish Young K the very best in this next chapter in his life!
