"Hello, this is Seven Seasons.
We are releasing an official statement regarding Block B member Jaehyo's discharge from military service.Jaehyo has been suffering from chronic illness in his right knee along with damage to his left femoral muscle cartilage and left meniscus. He unfortunately relapsed shortly after he enlisted into the military, and therefore returned home to receive treatment.After receiving treatment, Jaehyo re-entered public service on March 21 of this year.
Unfortunately, his condition once again deteriorated, and he had to seek treatment.Over the last six months, Jaehyo has been getting plenty of rest and treatment as advised by the doctor. On September 30, he received a general physical examination at the Military Manpower Administration office in Busan.
He then had another detailed examination on November 4 at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Province branch of the Military Manpower Administration. Following the examinations, he was assigned Grade 5 (those incapable of serving in active duty or supplemental positions) and was discharged from the military.
Moving forward, Jaehyo will be focusing on getting treatment for his conditions, and we will update you on any of his further plans or scheduled activities once his condition improves.
Thank you."
The Block B member suffered from his injuries even before his enlistment. Yes, Jaehyo was able to take care of his injuries to be able to receive a level-4 on his examination. The Level-4 admissions are only allowed to receive basic training and fulfill the rest of their time as public service workers because of their preexisting health conditions.
Jaehyo was enlisted into the military December of last year, wherein he was designated to public service due to his health issues. Because of his injuries, Block B member Jaehyo can no longer be able to serve in the military as an active soldier.As for the fans of the young pop star, We only wish that Jaehyo gets well soon and will be able to perform his duties and we will continue to pray for his fast recovery.
