OMEGA X’s Song Hangyeom has officially announced his upcoming enlistment in the military, marking another milestone for the group as its members fulfill their mandatory service in the upcoming years.
Hangyeom of OMEGA X Announces Military Enlistment
On January 23, OMEGA X shared the news through an official statement in English, updating fans on Hangyeom’s enlistment plans. The announcement comes as a bittersweet moment for FOR X, the group’s devoted fanbase, as they prepare to temporarily say goodbye to yet another beloved member.
“Starting on February 6, Hangyeom will be fulfilling his military service obligation as social service personnel,” the statement read. “He will first perform alternative service under the ‘Advance Service’, and there will be no official ceremony on the day he starts his service. Fans are asked to refrain from visiting his workplace during his alternative service.”
“Finally, we would like to extend our warmest wishes and encouragement to Hangyeom as he completes his military service and returns safely, and we will continue to support and care for our artists,” it continued.
Song Hangyeom will be the third member of OMEGA X to begin his military service. Last year, IPQ, the group’s agency, also revealed that members Hwichan and Sebin would enlist in July 2024, with Hwichan beginning his service on July 4 and Sebin on July 16. Now, Hangyeom is also set to follow in their footsteps, further demonstrating the group’s sense of duty and responsibility.
While Hangyeom’s enlistment may temporarily pause his activities, fans can rest assured that OMEGA X remains united in their shared passion for music. FOR X is also already expressing its unwavering support, promising to wait patiently for his return. In the meantime, the group’s existing music and memorable performances continue to provide comfort and connection, also keeping the bond between OMEGA X and its fans strong.
