ASTRO - JINJIN
ASTRO member JINJIN has recently revealed that he has been exempted from mandatory military service due to an autoimmune condition.
On June 2, his agency, Fantagio, announced on the official fan café:
“JINJIN was deemed unfit for military service following a thorough medical examination conducted by the Military Manpower Administration, due to health issues related to an autoimmune disorder.”
The agency added:
“Although his condition does not affect his daily life, he requires regular hospital visits for examinations and ongoing medical care. Based on medical advice, it was determined that he would have difficulty participating in the demanding group lifestyle of military service. Therefore, he has been granted an exemption. We plan to continue his activities with his health as our top priority.”
Meanwhile, fellow ASTRO member and actor CHA EUN-WOO is set to begin his active duty military service on July 28, where he will serve in the Army Military Band.
Below is Fantagio’s full official statement:
“Hello,
This is Fantagio.
We would like to provide information regarding the military service status of ASTRO’s Jinjin.
Jinjin was deemed unfit for military service following a thorough examination by the Military Manpower Administration, due to health issues related to an autoimmune disorder.
While his condition does not impact his everyday life, he requires regular hospital visits for check-ups and management. According to medical professionals, the demanding group lifestyle of military service would be difficult for him, and thus he has been granted an exemption.
Our company will continue to prioritize the artist’s health above all else as he proceeds with his activities.
We would like to sincerely thank all the fans for their continued support, and we ask for your ongoing interest and encouragement in Jinjin’s future endeavors.”
