On June 16 at the KBS Cool FM "Jung Eun Ji's Music Plaza," BTOB's leader Eunkwang talked about his members currently serving in the military, about the artists they have been approaching, as well as future promotions plans for the group.
Eunkwang mentioned his previous visit to the radio show, saying, "The very last time I came to this program, I was actually sad. I loved to perform with Jung Eun Ji live, but I couldn't because of the situations, so I am here just for singing today."
Jung Eun Ji from Apink responded by pointing out that Eunkwang appears to have lost so much weight.
"My weight sheds by itself. When I diet, I don't lose some weight, but whenever I promote for the band, I do," he explained.
When Jung Eun Ji asked Eunkwang regarding the junior artists he had come closer to, Eunkwang replied, "I've been close to N.Flying and VICTON recently."
A listener further commented, "Eunkwang must be sad he can not attend the ceremony of completion of the military training of Yook Sungjae and Hyunsik."
Due to this, the BTOB leader sent his members Yook Sungjae and Hyunsik an audio mail message.
Eunkwang quipped, "I miss you, fellas. Sungjae and Hyunsik, right now, I'm working to promote as a solo singer, and you two must be going insane because you miss me."
Eunkwang went on, "Be healthy, please, and don't get injured while serving in the army. After having a really good experience, I hope you come back. I'm going to remain strong and sit tight. Let's keep going 'til the day BTOB reunites in 2022."
Eunkwang, who was released from the military in April this year, was questioned what meals he wanted to eat most often, and he responded, "I like my mom's L.A. galbi (short ribs from Korean BBQ) the most. I used to really like much of the samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), but I decided to eat L.A after I was released. For a month, I consumed it twice a week, but I'm still not sick of it."
He added, "I am craving kong-guksu (soy milk noodle soup) because it's been hot lately."
The singer also accomplished his desire to sing with Jung Eun Ji. The two performed Jung Eun Ji and Yang Yoseob's "LOVE DAY."
Eunkwang expressed his plans for future promotional activities as a final statement. He said, "My 'No One Knows' promotions are already over, but I've got a lot to plan for. Beginning in August, I intend to perform at my musical."
He proceeded, "I've gotten my fans prepared. Now, I can't really say much, but I hope you'll be looking forward to that a lot."
On June 5, Eunkwang unveiled his solo track "No One Knows," proving his power as a soloist and one of the industry's praise-worthy vocalists.

Seo Eunkwang started military service by joining the 27th Division of the ROK Army as an active service soldier in the army band on August 21, 2018, dubbed the "We Will Win" unit in Hwacheon County, Gangwon-do.
Through initial training in October 2018, he got a top place out from the rookies in the cumulative tests. He was appointed as ROK-SWC on March 14 for earning more than 90 points in sit-ups, push-ups, 3 km cycling, 10 km marching with battle gear, and much more.
On April 7, he was released from the army.
