Xiumin is the first EXO member to begin his military service!

On the afternoon of May 7, Xiumin quietly entered the recruit training center in Yanggu County of Gangwon Province.

Before enlisting, Xiumin posted photos of his buzzcut and shared several additional images for fans. He wrote, “You are all of the reasons that I walk,” which appear to be lyrics from his upcoming track “You,” and also added, “Here are some more [photos]. Goodbye for now.”

Chanyeol uploaded photos of EXO members, TVXQ’s Changmin, and staff sending Xiumin off. He wrote, “While you protect the country, we will protect EXO and EXO-L. I will visit you together with Jong In (Kai).”

Xiumin will complete four weeks of basic military training and then continue as an active duty soldier with his official assignment.

Wishing Xiumin a safe service!
