[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] Yook Sungjae, a member of BTOB and an actor, announced his military enlistment on May 11.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, Yook Sungjae posted a lengthy message on his Instagram saying, "Many of you will be surprised, but I have decided to enlist in the military as of May 11." He expressed gratitude by saying, "Thank you so much to all the Melody fans who celebrated my birthday yesterday," and continued, "I was unsure how to bring this up, but since this is not a matter of deep worry or thought, I thought it would be better to tell you directly a little earlier, so I am posting this to talk about my enlistment."

He also said, "Some of you might be shocked by the sudden announcement, and many might be worried, but just seeing how much love Melody has shown me so far gives me confidence that I will be loved and can stay strong wherever I go! So I have no worries at all!!! I think I can go with peace of mind!" He added, "Although there will inevitably be a gap due to the consecutive enlistments of BTOB members, the eldest members will soon be coming out, and 'Ssanggap Pocha' will be airing soon, so if you wait a little patiently, the day will come when all BTOB and Melody can see each other again!!"

Finally, he concluded with, "I am always very thankful up to now, and I ask for your continued support in the future!! Until the day I appear before you in an even cooler form, I hope you have healthy and happy days. From 6Sungjae."

Yook Sungjae left SBS's 'Master in the House' in March to prepare for his military enlistment. JTBC's 'Ssanggap Pocha,' scheduled to air on the 20th, is a pre-produced work that has already completed filming.

Meanwhile, Yook Sungjae's agency stated through various media outlets that the location and time of his military enlistment will not be disclosed as "he wishes for a quiet enlistment."
