Seo Kang Joon is getting ready to start his required military duty.

"Seo Kang Joon is enrolling as an active duty soldier on November 23," an industry source said on November 8.

The actor's agency issued the following statement in reaction to the report:

Hello. We are Man of Creation.

On November 23, Seo Kang Joon will join to complete his necessary duty. There will be no formal celebration, and his enlistment site and time will not be published, for safety and to avoid the spread of COVID-19, so we beg for your understanding.

Please express your support in order for Seo Kang Joon to be able to complete his necessary duty in good health.

Thank you very much.

Seo Kang Joon has wrapped production on his next drama "Grid" and feature "Happy New Year," both of which are set for release in 2022.

He will be enlisting the same time as his friend and former 5urprise mate, Gong Myung.
