In May 2018, the military enlistment law in South Korea changed, reducing the maximum age at which mandatory service can be delayed (from 30 to 28).

Because of this, male celebrities who were born in the year 1989 had to enlist this year, such as Highlight’s Yoon Doojoon, CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa, and 2AM’s Jo Kwon.

Now 2019 is fast approaching and stars who are born in the year 1990 will have to prepare for their upcoming enlistment.

1.BIGBANG’s Seungri

Seungri is the youngest member of BIGBANG. Currently, all of the members except Seungri are serving in the military.

The singer and entrepreneur previously said that he would enlist in early 2019 so that BIGBANG could promote again as a whole group quickly as possible.

2. EXO’s Xiumin

As the oldest member of EXO, Xiumin will be the first from the boy group to enlist in the military.

3. Highlight’s Yang Yoseob

After sending fellow member Yoon Doojoon off to the military this year, Yang Yoseob will be the next member from Highlight to enlist.

In October, Around Us Entertainment announced that Yang Yoseob would be enlisting on January 24 as a conscripted policeman after applying and completing the interview.

4. Highlight’s Lee Gikwang

Lee Gikwang applied to become a conscripted policeman along with fellow member Yang Yoseob and was accepted in the 363rd recruitment. He will be enlisting sometime in January.

5. 2PM’s Junho
