Asked what he wants to do most after stepping out of the base, he said he wants to go on a trip with the members.
“I used to sing a lot in a marching band in the Army, and I really want to sing again as a Super Junior member,” he added.
With Ryeowook’s discharge, ten members of Super Junior have completed their military service, while Kyuhyun will be discharged in May next year.
Having debuted as a member of Super Junior in 2005, Ryeowook has also been active as a radio DJ and a musical actor. He released his first solo album “The Little Prince” in January 2016. Upon being discharged, the artist will resume his activities by holding a fan meeting titled “Return to the Little Prince” at the SMTOWN Theater inside COEX Atrium in Seoul on Thursday.
Ryeowook began his military service in October 2016.
