Photos of T.O.P and Junsu, members of K-Pop boy bands Big Bang and JYJ respectively, has just surfaced today, Feb. 15. T.O.P and Junsu can be seen wearing military fatigues along with their comrades.
First photos of T.O.P and Junsu have surfaced today, Feb. 15, wearing their berets and military fatigues, reports Soompi. The pictures were taken on Feb. 9, the date when the duo enlisted.
On Thursday, Feb. 9, T.O.P and Junsu enlisted in the military to comply with South Korea's mandatory service for men, reports Koreaboo. But despite their efforts of keeping it "low-key", hundreds of fans were already at the Nonsan Army Training Center in Chungcheong province. They prepared banners, and waited since 5 a.m. just to bid T.O.P and Junsu goodbyes.
T.O.P and Junsu will be training inside the Nonsam Army Training Center for a month of basic military training. T.O.P is then expected to continue his military career and will be stationed in Seoul's Metropolitan Police Department. Junsu, on the other hand will be stationed at the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency as a police officer.
Prior to enlisting, T.O.P posted a photo on Instagram with his group Big Bang, with the caption saying he won't be meeting with the group before joining the military, and expressing that he will miss his "brothers" so much once he sees their face. T.O.P is the first Big Bang member to join the military: He will then be followed closely by G-Dragon and Taeyang this year, while Daesung and Seungri will enlist in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
T.O.P and Junsu's service in the military will last for 9 months, ending on November 8, 2017. T.O.P and Junsu will also be given short breaks in their military service so they can be with their friends and family.
