The announcement came after a Japanese media outlet, the Sankei Shimbun, reported Friday that the 30-year-old singer’s enlistment was approaching. He is reported to have cried at a recent Tokyo Dome concert and said he won’t be able to perform at concerts for a while.

The news also reported that the 28-year-old Changmin of the duo will have to enter military service as well.
