SHINee's Key, 2AM's Jinwoon and VIXX's N returned to civilian life on Wednesday after completing their mandatory military service. The three were discharged after enjoying their final leave and did not return to their base due to coronavirus concerns.

"I am back in good condition as I promised," Key wrote on SHINee's online fan community Wednesday. "Thank you for waiting for me. Please look forward to my future plans."

Jinwoon said through his agency MYSTIC STORY: "I truly appreciate my fans for waiting for me and I hope we can meet up soon."

"I learned a lot of things during my service," N said on his Instagram. "I give my support to those who are still fulfilling their duties. Thank you for waiting and supporting."

The three enlisted in March 2019 and joined the military band.

Sure. Here it is: https://www.allkpop.com/article/2020/10/kbss-news9-claims-celebrity-soldiers-are-given-opportunities-to-receive-longer-vacations-than-regular-soldiers.

To be fair, a bunch of other idols were mentioned too, but I only mentioned Key and Onew since this post was about SHINee. The article mentions how idols are given extra days because they do events/musicals/whatever, which I know they do quite a few of, but am wondering if the other ordinary soldiers who also participate in these extra activities also get extra days?
