K-pop group BTOB’s leader Seo Eunkwang announced that he will be enlisting in the military on Aug. 21, K-Pop Herald reports.

The singer confirmed the news by releasing a statement through his agency, Cube Entertainment, wherein he also apologized for the surprising news.

“I am really sorry to fans who might be surprised at this sudden news about my enlistment. I am sorry for not being able to keep all those many promises I made with you. I will keep those promises after I fulfill my military duty,” his statement read.

No details will be released about his enlistment as Seo has opted for a low-profile enlistment, his agency said.
