NCT‘s Jaehyun will officially enlist in the military on November 4.
According to an exclusive report from Star News, Jaehyun will begin his mandatory military service on November 4. He would be serving in the military band following his basic military training. This means his expected discharge date would be May 3, 2026.
This would make Jaehyun the second member of NCT to serve in the military, with Taeyong joining the military back in April 2024.
SM Entertainment has since confirmed Star News’ report with their statement.
NCT’s Jaehyun applied to join the military band, and today he received his notice of acceptance from the Military Manpower Administration. Therefore, he will join the military on November 4 and fulfill his mandatory service.
Since [the dropoff venue] is a place where a large number of soldiers and their families are on the day of enlistment, there will be no separate event to prevent any accidents caused by crowding at the venue. We ask for your support and love until Jaehyun returns in a healthy state after his military service.
