On October 25th, over 700 Japanese and Korean fans gathered at the entrance of Military Reserve 306 to bid Supernova's Yunhak farewell before he began his 18 months of military life.
At approximately 12:30 PM, Yunhak appeared with his newly shaved hairdo and expressed his heartfelt thoughts on his enlistment, family, and fellow group members.
Yunhak began with, "I'm finally beginning my active duties, and I think it will be a good experience for me."
"I'm so thankful that I'm able to spend my last moments with my family, my group members, and fans. I will come back after committing to my duties safely and healthily," he said.
When asked to do a salute to his fans, he took off his cap and gave a proud salute. Afterwards, he shyly asked, "Am I doing it right?" Yunhak expressed his thanks not only in Korean, but in Japanese as well as a service to those fans who crossed the sea to send him off.
Both Yunhak's family and all members of Supernova were at the scene to support Yunhak's enlistment, and fans were particularly pleased to see the group's everlasting friendship with one another.
"I completed Supernova's concert tour with all the members right till the end. I believe they can still show the best of themselves in the future," he said.
When asked who he will think of the most during his time in the military, the leader answered, "I think I will think of my parents the most. I'm sorry to the family members who I wasn't able to say goodbye to. I will make sure to return safely."
As Yunhak finally walked through the gates, his fans couldn't help but burst into tears. Some even followed Yunhak's footsteps all the way to the entrance and shouted out his name.
Fans brought along multiple placards that read supportive messages such as, "Come back safely", "I love you", and "I'll be waiting for you, Yunhak."
Meanwhile, a total of 14 chartered buses that drove the Japanese fans from the airport were parked outside Reserve 306, showing the sheer dedication of their Japanese fans to Supernova's leader.
