Kim Jinhwan announced his enlistment via Instagram on July 7th.

"I'm writing this because I thought I needed to let you all know before anyone else." He continued, "I feel regretful because there are so many things I've prepared and so many things I still haven't gotten the chance to show you. However, I'll keep this short because I know our fans, who have waited for me, will feel even sadder."
