JYJ’s Jaejoong defers his military enlistment to August 2012

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

It’s just been reported that JYJ‘s Jaejoong has delayed his military enlistment, citing ‘overseas stay’ as his reason. At this time, his enlistment date has been pushed back to August 31st, 2012. However, if he wishes to postpone his enlistment then, he will be able to request for a deferment provided that he has a reasonable excuse.
Jaejoong received his military draft notice back in September. Although he’s currently a student enrolled in Kyung Hee Cyber University as a communications major, he’s reached the age of 24. Consequently, he’s of age where he could be included in the draft.

C-Jes Entertainment told Dispatch over the phone, “Jaejoong has requested for a deferment of military enlistment. He has received permission from the Military Manpower Administration. The enlistment was postponed since there are a lot of overseas promotions this year. There is no problem with him promoting until August of next year.”

The agency’s decision to cite “overseas stay” as the reason for deferment rather than school immediately caught the public’s attention. Some netizens even began to whisper that Jaejoong couldn’t use school as his excuse because he was expelled.
C-Jes clarified, “Even during the recent Europe concerts, Jaejoong wrote up 2~3 reports to submit. He is that dedicated.” They continued, “Since JYJ frequently have overseas concerts, we submitted documents citing overseas stay rather than school.”
Although he spends most of his time in Korea rather than overseas (60% compared to 40%), there were no legal problems over his ‘overseas stay’ excuse. A source from the Military Manpower Administration stated, “He doesn’t have to stay overseas during the entire time of his deferment, just because he cited that as his reason… Once the permission is given, it is possible for him to go back and forth between Korea and other countries.”

Although Jaejoong has deferred his enlistment for now, he will have to provide another valid reason if he does not wish to enlist after September of next year. C-Jes stated, “It is a given that a man with a healthy body will be recruited into the military. Since, for the time being, there are overseas promotions lined up, deferment of enlistment was unavoidable. However, Jaejoong is definitely planning to enlist.”
 

Meanwhile back in February, Yoochun was classified as needing review for a chronic asthma condition during his physical examination for military enlistment. He was categorized once as 7th rank in his first review back in August. Since reviews can be conducted up to 3 times, the results of the remaining 2 reviews will determine whether or not he will enlist. (Receiving 7th rank in physical examinations for military enlistment usually means the individual is not valid for active military duty due to physical illnesses or conditions)

The Military Manpower Administration stated, “Usually when receiving reviews, a set amount of time period is given for medical treatment. 6 months, or sometimes 4 months, is decided as the treatment period. The progress is checked and the decision is made… An individual can receive a maximum of 3 reviews. With the results from the last review, enlistment or exemption will be decided.”
 
Why don't you wait till' 2014...

Too soon! I've barely gotten used to my fave Twitter whore Heechul on a low profile. Now Jaejoong's up next? :| But seriously, I can't even imagine him without his hair.

Jaejoong being enrolled in college is total news to me. I thought he never went at all. O_o

Lol I have no clue why there's people panicking over this. JYJ3 comments are hilarious.
Like really, all this is is a gossip site trying to stir some drama for the simple fact he just replied to an enlistment letter... and that's it. Everyone knows idols only really enlist at the last possible moment (age of 30).
Unfortunately the word "enlistment" frightens kpop fans so much that most fail to read closely any article related to it and just start panicking.
On a side note Yoochun you need to stop smoking like COME ON REALLY. I knew your health wasn't the best but I did not think you'd get 7th rank. Probably means he'll go into public service like Heechul when he enlists.

Although he’s currently a student enrolled in Kyung Hee Cyber University as a communications major..

this is seriously a brand new information to me
and it also made me really happy :DDD

[my-faux-pas.livejournal.com]

It's a shame it's just cyber university he's enrolled in. Changmin's enrolled in the same university, not just cyber though.

[my-faux-pas.livejournal.com]

HOLD UP WHAT? Jaejoong is still in school? That's the most shocking part of this news, tbh.

[honeyfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

Oh, so the info I got on Jaejoong being a student at Kyunghee Cyber Uni was true .. I kinda thought he didn't study cause I don't remember ever reading much about it. But probs to him for being a major in something non-typical for kpop artists, kinda bummed that yunho changed major :l

Already imagining Jaejoong going to the army... it'll be such a sad day :(

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

I thought Yunho already graduated this year. What is his major anyway? I don't ever think I ever came across it.

Have Yoochun and Junsu graduated already? :)

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

hmmm i remember reading years ago that he didn't have to go

guess i was wrong

[miki-831.livejournal.com]

mte!!

[enchantark.livejournal.com]

those fanboys will be so excited

[pekojan.livejournal.com]

Is there anyone knowing which majors the 5 are studying?

I have known Changmin studied post-modern music in Kyunghee but have no idea about his major in Konkuk.

Yunho graduated from his undergraduate school already and enrolled in a post-graduate school but I know none of majors he studied. Some said he studied film and movies, and some others said he studied entertainment business and I don't know which one is true.

Have known that Jaejoong is attending a cyber university for a long time but only until reading this article I know he is studying communications (which is cool and suits him so much!)

Are Yoochun and Junsu still studying in their colleges? Which majors they are studying? Korea stalkers rarely (if not at all) report about them going to school so it makes me confused >____

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Changmin apparently switched majors to theater or film when he transferred to Konkuk.

No idea about everyone else.

[orenji13.livejournal.com]

Enlistment is always SUPER serious matter in Korea. You have to handle it properly..

Good for you Jae to continue your school...

[miki-831.livejournal.com]

noooo as of now he is leaving on my birthday! bad present :(

[maxism12.livejournal.com]

it's because the Korean army also have gay men, isn't it Jae? u__u


but on a serious note, all the best Jaejoong.


hopefully yunho will join you soon and you both end up having hot army sex

[jlie-ly.livejournal.com]

i love your comment

[831panda831.livejournal.com]

[asth77.livejournal.com]

[ghina93.livejournal.com]

Don't jinx it please. A lot of things can change by 2012 >___

[invadeddreams.livejournal.com]

I said it once and I'll say it again:
A life without Jaejoong is no real life at all ;~;
