Enlistment is something every kpop fan dreads, when the time comes, Kpop fans must say goodbye to their favorite idols for a period of no less than 1 year and 6 months [as of this writing].

Military service is mandatory in South Korea, meaning all able Korean men must serve their country, this law extends to Kpop idols as well. Every able Korean man must serve their country before they become 28 years old [international age].

EXO is a kpop group on the bigger side as they have nine members, eight of which must serve, and this sadly means a lengthier hiatus as each member will likely serve when their time comes.

Today, we’re taking a look at the full EXO members’ military enlistment date. The below article includes the members’ enlistment and discharge dates.
