SS501 Kim Kyu Jong’s enlistment date confirmed

Kim Kyu Jong‘s military enlistment date has been confirmed for this July 23rd.

The SS501 member, the first of the group to enter mandatory military service, will report for alternative service duty after four weeks of basic training. Agency B2M Entertainment also revealed that he’ll be releasing a “thank you” track for fans before his enlistment date.

Kim Kyu Jong previously announced in a handwritten letter to fans that he would soon be serving in the military. He stated, “The reason I’m writing a letter to fans for the first time in a while is that I’m going to be enlisting in July.”

Kyu Jong also held a fan meeting earlier this month asking fans to wait until his return.

SS501 reunites as one for Kyu Jong’s fanmeet

With the members of SS501 busy with their own individual activities, the public has been unable to see the group together since 2010.

However, Triple S fans in Seoul were able to see the five members all together this weekend, when Hyun Joong, Young Saeng, Jung Min and Hyung Jun made special plans to attend Kyu Jong‘s final fanmeet before his army enlistment.

According to reports, Hyun Joong flew in after hosting his own fanmeet in China, and Jung Min looked on from the audience for unannounced reasons.

While Kyu Jong’s enlistment means that SS501 cannot be fully active as five until 2014, many Triple S fans have been posting their excitement about finally seeing the group together for the first time in two years. The five-man fanmeet energized Triple S fans around the world, with Hyun Joong reassuring, ”SS501 will never disband, so please wait for us!”

Although official photos have yet to be released, online fan communities and social media websites have exploded with messages, with the hashtag #SS501Reunited reportedly trending in Indonesia for some time. Fanmeet attendees have also begun to post photos of the five men together at the event  on the internet, sharing the experience with eager Triple S fans worldwide.

In related news, Young Saeng just made his solo comeback on ‘Inkigayo‘ last night with his latest song, “Crying“, and Hyun Joong recently topped Oricon’s DVD chart as the second international solo artist since Michael Jackson,
