Hello. This is KLAP Entertainment.
We would like to offer our deep thanks to the fans who always love VANNER as we make an announcement regarding our artist VANNER’s Sungkook’s enlistment.
VANNER’s Sungkook will be carrying out his military duty as an active-duty soldier in the army after undergoing basic training at a training center [starting] on Tuesday, May 7.
We will not be holding an official event [for the fans or press] on the day that he enters the training center, and we ask for your understanding in regards to the fact that he will be entering privately for the sake of preventing a safety-related accident due to on-site confusion.
Up until his enlistment, Sungkook plans to carry out his scheduled activities, including VANNER’s domestic concert.
We ask the the fans give their support and encouragement to Sungkook, who will diligently carry out his military duty before returning in good health.
We will also continue to give Sungkook and the other VANNER members our unsparing support.
Thank you.”
