During the broadcast, Young K added that he would be enlisting in the military unit called KATUSA, which stands for Korean Augmentation To the United States Army. The unit has seen artists such as rapper Swings join, and it is a program that allows the South Korean government to recruit soldiers who are fluent in both the Korean and English languages to the U.S. Army bases stationed on the Korean peninsula.
Although Young K seemed emotional throughout, he continued to thank fans for their support and encourage them not to feel too sad about the news of his enlistment.
You don’t have to be worried. There’s still a lot of days left, and I’ve been working hard to make you guys happy and laugh.
