SM Entertainment Suddenly Announces EXO’s Kai Will Be Enlisting In The Military This Month

SM Entertainment suddenly announced that EXO‘s Kai will be enlisting on May 11.

SM Entertainment made the news via a statement released on May 3. The statement’s full translation is available below.

Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

We are delivering sudden news regarding Kai’s enlistment date.

Although Kai had been preparing for EXO’s comeback later this year, due to recent changes in the law regarding military enlistment, Kai will be enlisting on May 11 to complete his basic training, after which he will begin working as a social worker.

To respect Kai’s wishes to quietly enlist, we are not revealing the place and time at which he will enlist. We also ask that fans understand that any scheduled events on that day will be canceled.

We will reveal details regarding EXO’s upcoming album as they are confirmed.

Thank you.
