NCT 127 finished their Seoul concert with unforgettable performances and heartfelt messages. Now, fans are anxiously awaiting what’s next from the group.
During a recent concert in Seoul, NCT 127’s leader, Taeyong, hinted at the possibility of early military enlistment by expressing uncertainties about his future plans, especially the tour in January.
Taeyong mentioned that there was conflicting information about their tours, with some saying it’s their last tour but they actually have another one after. Specifically, he expressed concern about the January concert and whether he would be able to attend or not.
In South Korea, all able-bodied men are required to complete mandatory military service, lasting 18 to 21 months, before they turn 30 years old.
Taeyong, born in 1995, is getting closer to the age limit for mandatory military service. It’s natural for fans to feel worried about this, as it means he might have to take a break from his activities with NCT 127.
Taeyong addressed the issue and expressed his sincere apologies to the other members, mentioning that he feels like he burdened them with this situation.
Fans are understandably concerned about the immediate impact on the group’s dynamics with Taeyong’s mandatory military service. As a leader and performer, Taeyong plays a central role in NCT 127, so his absence will definitely be felt. Fans are also anxious about the long-term impact on Taeyong’s career, as it may disrupt his music production and group activities.
