N.Flying had a roundtable discussion with press representatives to endorse their latest album, inform everyone on how they're coping lately, and more in the context of their latest return with 7th mini-album, "So, 通."
The subject inevitably went ahead as many of the N.Flying members are reaching the age range to enlist in the military. The oldest hyung Seunghyub was born in 1992. All males born in 1992 are usually are said to be expected to enlist by the end of 2020.
That being said, Seunghyub's situation previous leg surgical procedures, he was considered to be excluded from mandatory military service duties entirely.
Seunghyub discussed this with caution, starting with, "I had a lot of discussion about when would have been the best opportunity to talk about this. In 2014, I badly hurt my leg and completed various operations, and the injury even pressed with N.Flying 's debut date all the way back."
He added, "I also had a medical checkup at the time, and was considered to be excluded from service."
The N.Flying member went on, "At a fan signing several years ago, a supporter asked me, 'Oppa, when are you entering into the army?' and then I informed them of my exemption."
Seunghyub added that this subject matter is a tough one to discuss.
"I was extremely concerned about how the united supporters would accept it, so I didn't need to bring it up instantly when I'm not fully prepared. It [leg] still feels the same after undergoing the operations," he narrated.
"On days whenever I hop up and down on stage and pump out my strength up there, my leg is swelling up. The condition still hurts continuously if I don't stretch out all the muscles, so I have to work it out regularly. I'm sorry and feel heavy in my heart because I can't do my compulsory duties," he added.
N.Flying spoke about their newest addition in the band as well. The group is expected to release their mini-album "So, 通" this week, which would be their initial return with ex-HONEYST member Seo Dong Sung.
Seo Dong Sung said, "As a recruit, I entered N.Flying, and I am truly happy."
He also shared, "I've learned from a large number of people that these days, I look genuinely happy. I am the oldest of three siblings at home, and I have always enjoyed life as N.Flying's youngest member. The members regarded me several stuff, and take very good care of me."
Seo Dung Sung went on, "These would be my first band promotions, so I'm really excited and anxious, but the members have offered me a lot of support and advice."
Yoo Hwe Seung, who had been the group's youngest member before joining Seo Dong Sung, responded by saying, "I'm happy I'm not the youngest member anymore."
Hwe Seung added, "After Dong Sung entered, he worked incredibly hard to fulfill the needs of people. He has a keen interest in learning, so I'd like to instruct him as an older member, and the team likes to look after him. We enjoy being together, and so we get along very well."
Seo Dong Sung, emerging from a now-disbanded four-member band HONEYST, admitted that he was wondering if it was possible to enter a much more experienced group and that he couldn't grasp the news initially.
Lee Seunghyub, the N.Flying leader, stated, "I have known Dong Sung for about ten years. He had been in a position in which he could quickly give up being a bassist. He's a good bass player and a decent person, and we wanted someone more like him."
The band's leader also revealed, "They are not in a rush to find a bass player, and we told our company we didn't really care if it was a long time until we sought someone. We were just looking for someone to become a part of the band. But when we saw Dong Sung, we started to feel he can join the band. I'm grateful for him, and I'm very pleased he's a part of N.Flying."
