Last week, kaia member of EXO, took all fans by surprise when he announced that, after sudden changes in enlistment regulations, he will need to advance his departure to the army, scheduled to take place tomorrow, the 11th.
“Kai was preparing for EXO’s comeback scheduled for this year, but due to a recent change in the Military Manpower Administration’s regulations, he is expected to enter the army recruit training center on May 11, where he will receive basic military training and , then exercise the function of a public servant,” said SM Entertainment, the company responsible for EXO, in a statement.
As reported by SM Entertainment in the note, the enlistment news also took the artist himself by surprise, who was currently preparing for EXO’s upcoming comeback as a full group. After the announcement of the change in his enlistment, Kai did a live with fans on social networks, where he was moved to touch on the subject, but he made a point of trying to comfort the EXOLs who followed the broadcast.
Last weekend, the idol still made a point of holding a hastily organized fanmeeting to meet with fans one last time before going to the Armed Forces. During the event, the main dancer also took numerous photos of the audience, where he said he will look at the images while serving to “gain strength”.
when he said that he will study those pics and remember the fans faces so once he comes back he will make sure each one of them is in the crowd again 🙁 https://t.co/BJcgkSbpE3

With Kai enlisting in the military, now the only EXO member who has yet to start his mandatory military service will be maknae Sehun. So far, there is no information about his plans to join the army.
