Monsta X Shownu has entered the military yesterday, July 22.

He has written a heartwarming note to Monbebe (their fandom), asking them to wait for him and support the other members while he serves in the military for a year and a half.

His agency Starship Entertainment has also released an official press release, saying that he would have to undergo three weeks' worth of basic training before serving the rest of his mandatory military service as a public service worker. Shownu had surgery for retinal detachment in his left eye and a dislocated shoulder, which prevented him from undergoing active duty.

He also posted photos of him sporting his new buzzcut hair, asking the fans to be careful of the health and take care of their overall health. Monsta X members have also accompanied him to the training center, sharing happy photos with the crew before sending him off to service.

Stay safe and take care!
