2PM member Wooyoung (real name Jang Wooyoung) will be discharged early from his military service due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

According to an official from 2PM's agency JYP Entertainment on the 25th, Wooyoung was on leave before his scheduled discharge, but due to the influence of COVID-19, he will be discharged without returning to his unit.

Wooyoung was originally scheduled to be discharged on the 28th.

However, his discharge date was adjusted according to the Ministry of National Defense's COVID-19 response policy within the military.

The Ministry of National Defense has been controlling all soldiers' leaves, overnight stays, and visits since the 22nd, while leaves for pre-discharge purposes and special occasion leaves are being carried out normally.

Soldiers who were on pre-discharge leave were allowed to adjust their leave schedules to be discharged without returning to their units.

Accordingly, Wooyoung will be discharged a few days earlier.

Wooyoung enlisted as an active-duty soldier in July 2018.

He is the third member of 2PM to complete his military service, following JUN-K and Ok Taecyeon.

Nichkhun is a foreign member, and Junho and Chansung are currently serving.
