[OSEN=김은애 기자] BIGBANG’s DAESUNG will enlist as an active soldier.

On March 5, YG Entertainment announced that “BIGBANG’s DAESUNG will enlist on March 13”.

What’s noticeable is that he will enlist the next day after TAEYANG enlists on the 12th. It’s almost as if they are enlisting together.

This happened because DAESUNG volunteered for military duty last year, hoping to enlist along with other members during a similar period.

With DAESUNG’s enlistment confirmed, 3 members from BIGBANG including G-DRAGON who enlisted on February 27, has and will start their active military in a month.

DAESUNG wrapped up his solo artist activities successfully last year prior to his enlistment, by releasing a solo album and completing a hall tour in 18 cities, as well as holding a dome concert in Japan.

The last member who’s enlistment date isn’t confirmed in BIGBANG is now SEUNGRI. SEUNGRI currently has a busy schedule as he is preparing for his solo album which will be released in early 2018, and his schedules overseas to promote a film starring himself premiering in China.

Related officials from YG stated, “SEUNGRI wanted to enlist along with other members, but had to prepare for his solo album release and promote the movie ‘LOVE ONLY’ which will premiere on March 2 at China. He is planning to enlist as an active soldier when his schedules are successfully wrapped up”.

On March 5, it was announced that Daesung will be enlisting in the military on March 13, a day after fellow BIGBANG member Taeyang. In the past, Daesung had expressed a desire to begin his military service around the same time as the other members, so he applied for voluntary enlistment last year.

Daesung had a busy year in 2017. Not only did he release a solo album and go on a 18-city tour in Japan, but he also held multiple concerts with his fellow BIGBANG members.

With G-Dragon already enlisting on February 27, this means that three out of the five members will be beginning their military service in under a month. T.O.P is currently fulfilling his duties as a public service worker, and youngest member Seungri is busy with news of a solo album on the way for the first half of 2018.

A source from YG Entertainment stated, “Seungri also wanted to enlist around the same time as the other members, but his Chinese movie ‘Love Only’ is scheduled to be released on March 2 and he has also been preparing a solo album. He plans to voluntarily enlist after he has completed his scheduled activities.”
