Taecyeon has enlisted for active service today (September 4th) on the 9th anniversary of 2PM's debut.
He was careful not to reveal the details of enlistment during 2PM's V LIVE broadcast yesterday, and enlisted quietly today in the presence of his family and fellow 2PM members.
Taecyeon had to make an effort to enlist, having to give up his American citizenship. He was qualified to do public service due to a herniated lower back disc, but after surgery and therapy he was deemed eligible for active service.
JYP Entertainment confirmed, "It's true he is enlisting today."
Ok Taecyeon debuted in 2008 and has been active in both 2PM and as an actor. His last project before enlistment was the OCN drama Save Me.

Date: 2017-09-04 04:23 am (UTC)He said during the VLive that he was going to go with just the member and family there to send him off but I didn't think it would be today. You were literally just posting stupid selfies with Okcat merch on twitter. Come back!!!!
He's been talking about it for so long, I thought I was emotionally ready but I'm not. I'm not ready. Holy shit guys, I've never had a true bias go to the army and I'm an emotional wreck right now. WHY DID HE GO ON THEIR ANNIVERSARY?????

I was so damn shocked when i saw this post, esp on their anniversary, damn you Taec!

Date: 2017-09-04 04:25 am (UTC)It's weird that he's going since I've been ready for him to go since the end of last year after their 50th goodbye tour in Japan.
I wish him luck and a smooth enlistment.
ETA: He was never a US Citizen. He was a permanent resident.

Date: 2017-09-04 05:04 am (UTC)over the years i've seen more fans spreading this version than those actually buying that other "i gave up my american citizen" .... i even saw 2PM fans ranting about how jyp likes to use mediaplay to make it look like he chose korea over usa when actually he never had a choice lol

Date: 2017-09-04 06:10 am (UTC)Also from the VLive last night this happened lol:
ALSO his fans are upset because his latest drama misled him and them and promoted him as the main young lead in the story to sell the drama overseas, and Taec realized too late. He could've been relaxing instead :(

Date: 2017-09-04 09:10 am (UTC)I've heard about him wanting to do active duty for so long now, glad he could enlist privately and wish him to serve well and take care of his health!

Date: 2017-09-04 12:55 pm (UTC)Nooo, this was like my biggest k-pop related fear, 2pm enlisting! I know they're not as active as newer groups but i've been dreading enlistment for so long. And i guess Minjun is next :(
I hope he serves well and comes back healthy!
no subject
Date: 2017-09-04 01:13 pm (UTC)I'm actually curious about that. Minjun has to get the metal rod out of his arm first and that has to heal. And I've heard ramblings of Wooyoung possibly this year, too... it's weird that I can finally miss him.
It was really sweet to see all the boys coming to send him off, too. I can't imagine how hard it is for them, too.

Date: 2017-09-04 06:23 pm (UTC)tbh i'd bet on the jungs' having dual citizenship but not tiffany... i don't think peniel has it, either, but it could be required for ppl working in the ent industry (instead of having to go thru getting temporary visas)
