Despite the news of Korean idols and celebrities no longer being allowed to enter the military as conscripted policemen, this idol showed his ambition and dearly wants to serve and enlist in the Korean army this year.
Member Taecyeon of 2PM made an appearance at a press release on July 27th for his latest OCN drama 'Save Me.' During the conference, Taecyeon announced to the press how he would like to enlist.
"I really want to enlist in the military this year.'' He added, "The reason why I chose 'Save Me' as my last production is because I will be able to work together with the sunbaenims.

Fans of the singers and people who attended the dramas press conference are praising Taecyeon even though he did not have to enlist.
