Kwanghee Enters The Army!


On March 13, Kwanghee, who appears in Infinity Challenge, has quietly entered the Nonsan Training Center in Nonsan City, Chungcheongnam-do. He will receive five weeks of basic military training, and then he will serve two years as an army military officer. Kwanghee stated, “I will train in the military well. Please do not forget me.”

He entered the military alone since he had previously announced that there will be no separate event. Others entered the training camp with their parents and friends by their side, but only his manager came with Kwanghee.

An official representative from his agency stated, “Kwanghee really wanted to go quietly. I was burdened by someone coming. He said he would not come, so he was not accompanied by his brother, Chu Sung-Hoon, or even his parents.” Because it was Kwanghee’s request to enter the military quietly, his agency did not prepare anything for him.

Kwanghee was able to spend time with his Radio Star family on the 8th and his Infinite Challenge family on the 9th. The PD of Radio Star, Park Chang-Hun expressed, “I made a pleasant impression with no tears.” A lot of laughter and energy were in the air as Kwanghee finished his job as an entertainer.


We wish Kwanghee the best of luck!
