[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Im Hyun-sik (28) and Yook Sung-jae (25) of the idol group BTOB, along with Pentagon member Jinho (28, real name Jo Jin-ho), will enlist together today (the 11th).

The three will quietly enter the training center without any separate events and undergo basic military training for a certain period before serving as active-duty soldiers.

Earlier, Yook Sung-jae announced his enlistment news on his social network service (SNS) on the 3rd. Yook said, "There will inevitably be a gap due to the consecutive enlistments of BTOB members, but the eldest members will soon be discharged, and 'Ssanggap Pocha' will be airing soon, so if you wait a little longer, the day will come when BTOB and Melody can all meet again."

Im Hyun-sik also announced his enlistment on the 6th, saying, "After my enlistment was decided, I spent a few days wondering what kind of greeting I should make. I will come back as a prouder and more wonderful man."

Cube Entertainment, Pentagon's agency, stated on the 8th, "Jinho will enlist as an active-duty soldier on the 11th. Since he wishes for a quiet enlistment, the time and place will not be disclosed."

Meanwhile, BTOB's member Seo Eun-kwang (30) was discharged last month on the 7th and is actively promoting, and members Lee Chang-sub (29) and Lee Min-hyuk (30) are expected to be discharged this year.

Jinho is the eldest member of Pentagon and will be the first in the group to enlist. The nine-member group Pentagon has been promoting as a seven-member team for the time being after member Yan An (24) suspended activities last year due to health reasons.
