MONSTA X’s Hyungwon has personally announced his plans to enlist in the military.
On October 20, Hyungwon posted a handwritten letter on MONSTA X’s fan cafe announcing that he would be enlisting on November 14.
Hyungwon’s full message is as follows:
"MONBEBE, hi!
Of all the messages I’ve written so far, this one brings the most peculiar feeling…
I’ll be enlisting on November 14. Maybe it’s because I’ve been mentally preparing as I watched the members go through their own enlistments, but instead of regret, I feel a sense of relief. I think I’m more concerned about MONBEBE than I am about myself.
Though I’m the one MONBEBE worries about every time the wind blows, my goal is to return as a strong and dependable person who can face the harsh wind that comes MONBEBE’s way.
Over the time we’ve spent together, MONBEBE has nurtured me so much that I have now become someone who can healthily and confidently handle this temporary separation, so I truly want to thank you for that. Thank you so much, and I love you all.
When I return, I hope to become a person who can reciprocate the love MONBEBE has given me even more. To make that happen, MONBEBE needs to stay healthy and not get sick, right? Please do so…
By the way, it turns out my discharge date is May 13. Just thinking about meeting MONBEBE the next day already has me excited. Let’s greet each other with smiles on that day!
I love you, MONBEBE!"
Hyungwon will be the fifth member of MONSTA X to enlist in the military following Shownu, who was discharged this spring, and Minhyuk, Joohoney, and Kihyun, who are currently serving in the military.
Wishing Hyungwon all the best during his upcoming service!
