Regarding his enlistment specifics, SM Entertainment disclosed that Taeyong would be serving in the Navy as an active-duty soldier. However, due to safety concerns, his recruitment at a training center will be conducted privately, without any official events. Both Taeyong and his agency urged fans to offer their unwavering support and well wishes during this period of transition.
Hints of Taeyong’s impending enlistment surfaced in early 2023 during an online fan club forum, although the official announcement came nearly six months later. Despite the anticipation surrounding his military service, Taeyong recently captivated audiences with his successful comeback. His second solo mini-album, “TAP,” released on February 26, 2024, garnered acclaim for its dynamic tracks and energetic performances, reaffirming Taeyong’s status as a versatile artist with a distinct style.
As Taeyong prepares to embark on his military journey, fans remain steadfast in their support, eagerly awaiting his return and the continuation of his remarkable musical legacy.
