[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Singer Roy Kim (27, real name Kim Sang-woo) is enlisting in the Marine Corps today (the 15th).


Roy Kim will enter the Marine Corps Education and Training Unit located in Pohang, Gyeongbuk, to fulfill his national defense duty.


No separate events related to this will be held on site today.


Earlier, Roy Kim's side stated, "Roy Kim applied to the Marine Corps last March and recently received final acceptance notification from the Military Manpower Administration."


Roy Kim won the Mnet audition program 'Superstar K4' in 2012.


He debuted in 2013 with the single "Bom Bom Bom" and released songs such as "Love Love Love," "Geuttae Heeojimyeon Dwae," and "Uri Geumanhaja."


In April last year, he was also subject to police investigation during the probe into the illegal filming distribution case involving singer Jung Joon-young and others, but was ultimately given a suspended indictment.



Afterward, he apologized in a post on his fan club bulletin board, saying, "I sincerely apologize for causing great hurt to my loved ones due to my ignorant and reckless actions."
