Following JU-NE’s (Koo Jun-Hoe) confirmation the previous day on the “PLUSCHAT” app, his agency, 143 Entertainment, has just issued a statement on social media confirming the artist’s enlistment.
Here is the translation of the official statement published today (07/20/2026) on social media regarding iKON:
“On Tuesday, August 11, JU-NE will enter the military training center to begin fulfilling his mandatory military service as an active-duty soldier.
As the enlistment day at the training center will be attended by many new recruits and their families, no separate official event will be held in order to prevent safety accidents.
We kindly ask fans not to visit the enlistment site, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Please continue to give JU-NE your unwavering love and warm support until he completes his military service safely and returns to you in good health.
Thank you.”
The statement was expected by iKONICS, as the group is currently on an international tour with the four members who have already completed their respective military service; JU-NE therefore joins DK (Kim Dong Hyuk), who left in July this year.
