Actor Park Bo Gum To Enlist Privately On The 31st Of August… Agency Asks For Fans To Refrain From Attending
It was previously announced by Park Bo Gum‘s agency, Blossom Entertainment, that Park Bo Gum was scheduled to enter the military on the 31st of August. He will be a part of the Korean Navy‘s military band as a keyboardist.
On the 24th of August, Blossom Entertainment announced that the actor would be enlisting on the 31st at an undisclosed time and location. Military send offs are usually open to public, so it is common for fans to send their idols off. However, it seems that this decision was made in light of the current surge in coronavirus cases in South Korea.
Due to the current pandemic, where everyone should carry out social distancing for the sake of public health, we request that fans do not visit the location.

In other news, Park Bo Gum has successfully wrapped up his filming for Record of Youth, which is to be his last drama before he enlists. He has also prepared a digital single album for fans, All My Love, to thank his fans for being by his side thus far.
He also has two movies in post-production, Wonderland and Seobok to be out soon. Following, he will be serving in the military until April 2022. His last public schedule will be the press conference for Record of Youth on the 27th of August.
Below is the full statement by Blossom Entertainment, translated.
Actor Park Bo Gum is slated to enlist in the Korean Navy’s Promotional unit as of the 31st of August 2020. The location and time will not be disclosed and he plans on enlisting quietly without any fuss.
Due to the current pandemic, where everyone should carry out social distancing for the sake of public health, we request that fans do not visit the location and support the star in your thoughts instead. Once again, we emphasize our request for fans to refrain from being present on site in hopes of seeing him off. We request fans to cooperate with us on this for the sake of multiple safety issues.
