As Kim Sungkyu announced his enlistment, he will begin his mandatory military service on May 14th. He is 30 years old now, so it is a little late compared to ordinary person's enlistment. However, compared to other entertainers, it is not so late because most entertainers enlist from age 30 to age 31. There are also many entertainers who do not enter the military at age 30. Moreover, there are some who enlist hurriedly after they make some mistakes.
