Baekho, formerly of NU’EST, will be enlisting in the military. Baekho will enlist for active-duty service on December 29, temporarily stepping away from fans. As he turns 30 this year, the typical age for enlistment, Baekho personally revealed the news while communicating with fans on the morning of December 8, 2025.
On the same day, his agency stated that he would be leaving for the military and asked fans to refrain from visiting.
Hello, this is TEAM BAEKHO.
We would like to sincerely thank dOnO for always showing Baekho your love. We are providing information regarding Baekho’s military enlistment.
Baekho is scheduled to enter the Army Training Center on December 29, where he will undergo basic military training before fulfilling his duty as an active-duty Army soldier.
There will be no separate official event on the day of enlistment. Additionally, as the enlistment ceremony at the training center is a gathering attended by many soldiers and their families, we kindly ask that fans refrain from visiting the site. We would appreciate it if dOnO could leave messages for Baekho through Weverse instead.
We ask for dOnO’s warm encouragement and continued love until the day Baekho completes his military service and returns in good health. We, too, will continue to offer our unwavering support and affection for Baekho.
Thank you.
