Shownu, the oldest member of the group MONSTA X, will enlist today (the 22nd). As the first member of MONSTA X to enlist, he will leave the fans for a while. Shownu enters the training camp today and receives basic military training for three weeks before starting his alternative service as a social worker. Shownu, who had eye surgery last year due to retinal detachment in his left eye and stopped his activities, was judged ineligible for active duty and was forced to perform his military duties as a social worker. In May of this year, he was unable to participate in Monsta X’s comeback activities due to eye health problems. On the night of the 10th, Shownu also left his impressions of enlistment through a fan cafe. Shownu said, “I will be on hiatus for a while for my military duty. On the other hand, MONSTA X’s hard work continues even in the leader’s ‘military period’.
