iKON’s Kim Donghyuk, better known as DK, has officially announced his enlistment date for mandatory military service.

On June 9, 143 Entertainment, DK’s agency, confirmed that he has applied to join the Army Military Band and recently received his final acceptance notice from the Military Manpower Administration. DK plans to enlist as an active-duty soldier on July 28, 2025.

Due to the presence of many soldiers and their families on the day of enlistment at the Recruit Training Center, the agency will not hold a separate event to ensure safety, asking fans for their understanding.
