MONSTA X’s Hyungwon To Enlist In Military
MONSTA X’s Hyungwon will be soon enlisting in the military. He will be the fifth member to enlist in mandatory service. Starship Entertainment released an official statement about the news on October 20, 2023.
Hello. This is Starship Entertainment. This is about MONSTA X Hyungwon’s enlistment.
Hyungwon, real name Chae Hyungwon, will be enlisting on November 14, 2023, to diligently fulfil his duty to the country.
In consideration of the many other recruits and undisclosed site location, we will not be holding any other separate event or ceremony for him, in order to minimise the chaos on site on that day.
He will diligently carry out his duty, and come back healthily. We ask for your warm encouragement and care for him. Thank you.

Hyungwon follows the footsteps of Kihyun, Joohoney, and Minhyuk, who are all still serving. Shownu has been discharged, while I.M still has yet to enlist.
