So, how does this whole military thing work? Apparently, Kpop idols have to enlist by the time they're 28, or they'll face the wrath of the Korean government. It's not all bad, though - they get to serve their country, learn some sweet military moves, and maybe even get some new material for their next album.
But seriously, military service is a big deal in Korea, and idols are no exception. They'll have to trade in their designer clothes and fancy hairstyles for camouflage and buzz cuts. We can't wait to see EXO's Baekhyun with a military haircut - it's going to be a whole new look!
Some idols are already preparing for their military service by getting in shape and learning military basics. We hear SHINee's Minho has been hitting the gym hard, and Seventeen's Mingyu has been practicing his march in front of the mirror. Who knew being a Kpop idol required so much discipline?
