NCT’s Taeyong Seemingly Hints at Upcoming Military Enlistment

NCT’s Taeyong has sparked speculation about his upcoming military enlistment, offering hints during NCT 127’s recent concert and through a social media post. Born in 1995, Taeyong falls within the age group subject to mandatory military service in South Korea, with 1995 being the designated year for enlistment.

Taeyong Drops Mysterious Hint at Upcoming Military Enlistment

During NCT 127’s concert, Taeyong expressed uncertainty about attending upcoming tour dates, hinting at potential schedule adjustments related to his impending military service. The current law imposes travel restrictions on individuals pending enlistment, prohibiting overseas trips six months before the scheduled service date.

Taeyong’s social media activity added to the speculation. On December 16, he shared photos from the set of NCT 127‘s upcoming winter single album “Be There For Me” where he will cover WHAM’s “Last Christmas.” While the post primarily focused on the upcoming release, the caption contained a potential hint about Taeyong’s enlistment timeline.

In the caption, Taeyong mentioned seeing fans again by Christmas 2025, implying a return after potential military service. Given that the mandatory service duration ranges from 18 to 21 months, depending on the type of service (Army or public service), fans have engaged in speculation about the possible enlistment window.

If Taeyong opts for Army service, enlisting between June and July 2024 could align with a return before Christmas 2025. Alternatively, choosing public service would necessitate an enlistment between March and April 2024 for a Christmas 2025 comeback.

While Taeyong’s comments and social media posts are currently speculative and subject to interpretation, the transparency and openness about the potential enlistment timeline have resonated with fans. Many appreciate the idol’s communication and preparation as he navigates this significant milestone in his career. Regardless of when Taeyong decides to enlist, the support from fans is expected to remain steadfast, showcasing the strong bond between idols and their dedicated followers.
