EXO Sehun announces date for military enlistment in heartfelt letter to fans

EXO Sehun took to his social media handles to share a handwritten note, directed to his fans. The note carried details regarding the singer's date of departure for his mandatory military enlistment - December 21 to be precise. The K-pop idol also revealed how prior to his departure he has chosen to spend time on self-reflection, which is also the reason behind him conveying his message through a note, instead of a live session.

Excerpts from the note read, "I hope everyone is in good health. I'm reaching out today because I have something to share. Starting from December 21, I will be entering military service. I apologize for informing EXO-L about this at a later time...Recently, I've been dedicating time to self-reflection and taking care of myself in solitude. This is why I'm conveying my thoughts through this letter instead of being physically present before you."

EXO is eyeing a complete reunion in 2025

Prior to Sehun's soon-to-commence mandatory military enlistment, EXO Kai had embarked on his own military enlistment back in May of this year. Xiumin, D.O., Suho, Chen, Chanyeol and Baekhyun, on the other hand, have completed their military service. Seeing this, the group is eyeing a complete reunion in 2025.

For the unversed, South Korean boy band EXO had made their debut back in 2012 under SM Entertainment with twelve members and multiple sub units. The band eventually whittled down to the existing nine members.
