WHAT​

NO, because the standard length of time served is 21 Months

HOW TF DO THEY GET 2025?

I literally looked this up...
Conscription in South Korea requires male citizens over between the age of 18 and 28 to perform compulsory military service.[35] Women are not required to perform military service, but they may volunteer as officers, warrant officers, or non-commissioned officers.[36]

The length of compulsory military service varies based on service branches: Active duty enlisted personnel serve 18 months in the Army or Marine Corps, 20 months in the Navy, and 21 months in the Air Force (the length of military service will be reduced to 18 – 22 months by 2022.).[10] Commissioned officers, warrant officers, and non-commissioned officers are volunteer-based, and serve longer terms than those of enlisted personnel, or as career. Non-active duty personnel such as social work personnel serve for various lengths. After conscripts finish their military service, they are automatically placed on the reserve roster.​

He's enlisting as a social worker; their tour of duty is longer than those of active-duty soldiers.

he’s enlisting as a social worker because of his back injuries, which is a longer service time, just as Suho and Baek did.

 

[RandAlThor]

Weird that is this sudden.

 

[Magician]

I hope he is okay

 

[Boyo]

At least he will be able to directly help the people and still be around fans in a way. He's still VERY upset about it though. He made sure to say he wasn't upset about SERVING but of the time in which it came
