DBSK + JYJ~ OPEN but under CONS - Page 23

It's just been reported that JYJ's Jaejoong has delayed his military enlistment, citing 'overseas stay' as his reason. At this time, his enlistment date has been pushed back to August 31st, 2012. However, if he wishes to postpone his enlistment date then, he will be able to request for a deferment, provided that he has a reasonable excuse.

Jaejoong received his military draft notice back in September. Although he's currently a student enrolled in Kyung Hee Cyber University as a communications major, he's reached the age of 24. Consequently, he's of age where he could be included in the draft despite still being a student.

C-Jes Entertainment told Dispatch over the phone, "Jaejoong has requested for a deferment of military enlistment. He has received permission from the Military Manpower Administration. The enlistment was postponed since there are a lot of overseas promotions this year. There is no problem with him promoting until August of next year."

The agency's decision to cite "overseas stay" as the reason for deferment rather than school immediately caught the public's attention. Some netizens even began to whisper that Jaejoong couldn't use school as his excuse because he was expelled.

C-Jes brushed off the rumors, stating, "Even during the recent Europe concerts, Jaejoong wrote up 2~3 reports to submit. He is that dedicated." They also clarified, "Since JYJ frequently has overseas concerts, we submitted documents citing overseas stay, rather than school."

Although he spends most of his time in Korea rather than overseas (60% compared to 40%), there were no legal problems over his 'overseas stay' excuse. A source from the Military Manpower Administration stated, "He doesn't have to stay overseas during the entire time of his deferment, just because he cited that as his reason… Once the permission is given, it is possible for him to go back and forth between Korea and other countries."

Although Jaejoong has deferred his enlistment for now, he will have to provide another valid reason if he does not wish to enlist after September of next year. C-Jes stated, "It is a given that a man with a healthy body will be recruited into the military. Since, for the time being, there are overseas promotions lined up, deferment of enlistment was unavoidable. However, Jaejoong is definitely planning to enlist."

Meanwhile, back in February, Yoochun underwent a physical examination for his own military draft; he was classified as needing review for a chronic asthma condition. He was also categorized as 7th rank in his first formal review back in August. Since reviews can be conducted up to 3 times, the results of the remaining 2 reviews will determine whether or not he will enlist. (Receiving 7th rank in physical examinations for military enlistment usually means the individual is not valid for active military duty due to physical illnesses or conditions)

The Military Manpower Administration stated, "Usually when receiving reviews, a set amount of time period is given for medical treatment. 6 months, or sometimes 4 months, is decided as the treatment period. The progress is checked and the decision is made… An individual can receive up to 3 reviews. With the results from the last review, enlistment or exemption will be decided."

^I always knew this would come, and I also knew I was going to be (still am going to be) extremely proud of him, but...damn, I didn't expect it to be so soon! 😭 Am depressed as heck at the prospect of not seeing him for two years. But this is such an important duty for men there, a duty to their country, one that Jaejoong is planning to fulfill with his head held high. I suppose that is why all of us JJ fans should see him off with a smile when the day comes rather than tears.

Still...I need a little moping time T_T

@ Jahnvi - You never know it could happen with the way its popularity is spreading 😆

Aaliyah, I know, you are so right. Can't wait for the day when they actually become prominent in S.Asia. I wish that day would come soon😍 And then I wanna see how music directors dare copy the original work. Aye, so many benefits to their popularity :P


And that article above - I am also very proud of these men enlisting themselves for military service but it still pinches when I think about any of them leaving.

@ Jahnvi - You should watch the Yunho and Changmin's episode of Running Man if you havent seen it already, Yunho's drawing skills are just wow especially the rhinoceros he draws 🤣

Aaliyah, I have seen the episode now. And lol, his drawing of rhinoceros looked like a potatohead to me🤣 My drawing sucks too (hint hint *wink*)😆 And he couldn't stop laughing at himself. I can't forget the expression of the next person in line who had the draw the copy. He was like "dude, go back to kindergarten"🤣
