After G-Dragon, Big Bang's Taeyang Announces Military Enlistment Date
Celebrity

Taeyang will soon follow in the footsteps of his groupmate G-Dragon, who is set to enlist later this month.

AceShowbiz - Another Big Bang member, Taeyang, has received his mandatory enlistment summons. His agency YG Entertainment has announced that the "Eyes, Nose, Lips" hitmaker is set to enlist as an active-duty soldier on March 12.

That means the 29-year-old who is newly-wed will begin his mandatory military service two weeks after his groupmate G-Dragon is enlisting. YG Entertainment previously confirmed that the Big Bang leader would be enlisting as an active-duty soldier on February 27.

The company said in a statement released on Wednesday, February 13 local time, "He plans on quietly enlisting without an official farewell event in order to prevent any chaos from occurring on scene that day. He will diligently carry out his military service." A specific enlistment location was not revealed as G-Dragon intends to enlist quietly.

Taeyang married his longtime girlfriend Min Hyo Rin earlier this month, on February 3, knowing that he would be summoned in either February or March. The couple had been dating for four years. They held their wedding ceremony at an undisclosed church, followed by a banquet reception at Paradise City Hotel & Resort in Incheon.

Taeyang bid farewell to fans at Big Bang's "Last Dance Tour" in Japan in December. "As you know, after this performance, we will not be able to meet you guys for a short or a long time depending on how you perceive it," he said. He reassured his fans they would meet again later with "improved, new sides," adding, "The times we spent together will always be a big encouragement to us during our military duty. Thank you so much and I love you."

Fellow member Daesung still has some time left before the deadline, but he reportedly will also enlist this year. T.O.P has resumed his military service as a public service worker following his marijuana scandal, while Seungri has booked an acting gig in Chinese movie "Love Only".
