[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Highlight group member Lee Gi-kwang has completed his mandatory police service and was discharged upon completion.

On the 18th, his agency Around Us announced that Lee Gi-kwang, who enlisted in April last year, was discharged after completing his mandatory police service. He is the third Highlight member to complete military service, following Yoon Doo-joon and Yang Yo-seob.

Through his agency, Lee Gi-kwang said, "Honestly, the discharge date felt very far away, but now that this time has passed, it's truly surprising and amazing. More than anything else, I am most excited and happy to be able to stand proudly in front of the fans and spend the remaining time together."

He continued, "I am grateful to my fellow soldiers, the company commander, platoon leader, and deputy platoon leader who helped and supported me during my service, as well as many others who assisted me. Above all, I sincerely thank the fans who waited for this day with me during my military service, and my members who are always by my side. I will work even harder to meet the fans with only good appearances in the future."

An agency representative stated, "Lee Gi-kwang was discharged without returning to the unit following the Ministry of National Defense's guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during his final leave. Although it is unfortunate that he cannot meet fans directly, he plans to approach fans through various activities."

Lee Gi-kwang is scheduled to share his future activity plans and thoughts on the 19th at 8 PM via Around Us's official Naver V LIVE channel. Additionally, he will serve as the MC for "Idol Wonderland," which airs every Wednesday on the KT Seezn app, starting from the first broadcast on the 18th at 9 PM.
