GOT7’s Yugyeom pens a heartfelt letter as he confirms his military enlistment

GOT7’s Yugyeom has officially announced his enlistment, sharing the news with fans through an emotional handwritten letter and an agency statement. The singer-dancer will enter service on September 29, with plans to serve in the army band.

The official announcement, at a glance

• Enlistment date: September 29, 2025.
• Role: Accepted by the Military Manpower Administration as a “specialist soldier”; will fulfill duties in the army band after basic training.
• No public send-off: To prevent crowding and ensure safety, the time and location will not be disclosed, and no separate fan event will be held.

“To. Ahgase ♡” — a letter full of love

Soon after the announcement, Yugyeom posted a handwritten message to Ahgases. In it, he reassured fans—“I promise to come back safely without getting hurt”—and left a tender image to hold onto: “Whenever you see the moon… please think of me.”

Beyond the poetry, the note reads like a promise. He asks fans to stay healthy, keep listening to his music, and meet him again after this chapter. The letter’s tone mirrors the way he’s always spoken to Ahgases: gently, gratefully, and with a performer’s instinct for connection.

Where this fits in GOT7’s timeline

Yugyeom is the third GOT7 member to begin service after Jay B and Jinyoung. Fans and media have rallied with supportive messages as he prepares to step away temporarily.

The road he paved before enlistment

The past year has been busy and purposeful. In June 2025, Yugyeom released his second full album Interlunar—a project whose title nods to the moon’s “invisible” phase, a fitting metaphor for a temporary hiatus. He also completed TRUSTY tour dates earlier this year, showcasing the R&B color he has honed at AOMG.

What to expect while he serves

As outlined by AOMG, updates around his entry will remain private for safety, and fans are asked not to visit the site. In the meantime, Yugyeom’s recent releases and live performances offer plenty to revisit—particularly Interlunar, which was crafted with this moment in mind.

A gentle farewell—for now

Yugyeom’s announcement balances duty with devotion. The formal agency guidance sets clear expectations, while his own letter feels like a personal time capsule. If you need a sign to press play again during the quiet days ahead, remember his cue: look up at the moon—and think of him.
