HIGHLIGHT member Son Dongwoon will be enlisting today.

His agency Around US announced, "Son Dongwoon will be enlisting as an active duty soldier on May 9, 2019."

Son Dongwoon will complete 4 weeks of basic military training before entering the police academy,

receive 2-3 weeks of education, and diligently fulfill his mandatory military service as a conscripted policeman for the Republic of Korea," they revealed.

They also announced, "As Son Dongwoon himself wishes for a quiet enlistment, the exact location and time of his enlistment

will not be disclosed. We ask for your understanding."

Son Dongwoon also released a handwritten letter before his enlistment.

Hello, this is Son Dongwoon. It's been a while since I've written a letter.

I don't know how to start.

It's been about 10 years since I started activities with you all, my fans, but

by the time you are reading this letter, I believe a brief period of peace will have begun.

I regret that each moment, that time, that emotion, that atmosphere, that feeling is slowly fading.

However, once this time passes, something new and fresh will begin again.

If I recall our memories day by day, the day we meet again will come soon.

Also, what I regret is that I cannot encourage you all, who are comforted, cry, and laugh while watching us, with something new for a while. I will encourage you again when I return.

Although there is still a lot of time left, I can imagine myself returning to you all,

jokingly saying, "I had fun in the military during this time~" and making a fuss.

Thank you for always being with me, through the wind and the warm sunshine.

I will continue to live in a way that you can be thankful for.

I will take good care and return to you all soon.

When you are tired, look up at the sky. I will remain the same!

From Your youngest, Son Dongwoon Dream
