GF Entertainment announced that The KingDom will temporarily halt all group activities following their upcoming fan-con, “THE QUINQUENNIUM,” scheduled for February 28, 2026. The pause is due to the members preparing for their mandatory military service, a requirement for all South Korean male citizens.
Dann was the first member to enlist last year. The remaining members, Arthur, Mujin, Louis, Ivan, and Jahan, will enlist over the course of this year, each following his own schedule. GF Entertainment confirmed that no separate events will be held on the days of enlistment.
The agency stated that this decision came after careful discussions with the group, allowing members to focus on their individual activities and responsibilities. Fans are encouraged to support The KingDom and their upcoming fan-con with warmth and enthusiasm, while GF Entertainment ensures the event will proceed safely and smoothly.
During the hiatus, members will dedicate time to personal projects and military service. GF Entertainment pledged full support to help them transition into these endeavors successfully. The company also expressed gratitude to fans for their ongoing support and understanding, recognizing that the news may be difficult but highlighting the importance of the members fulfilling their national duties.
This temporary pause marks an important moment in The KingDom’s career. It provides the members the opportunity to serve while preserving the promise of returning to group activities in the future. Fans are encouraged to celebrate the achievements of the group and participate in the upcoming fan-con as The KingDom begins this next chapter in their journey.
