He previously talked about enlisting during a show.
Koreaboo
For many male K-Pop idols, enlisting will happen at some point in their career. While it can happen at any time, most idols will delay their enlistment as late as possible before starting their service to complete as much work as possible.
However, recently, a member of Ship 97’s friend group suggested enlisting earlier than expected.
The ’97-liners are a group of male K-Pop idols born in 1997 and are friends. The group understands BTS‘S Jungkook, STAR‘S Cha Eunwoo, GOT7‘S Yugyeom AND BamBam, SEVENTEEN‘S MingyuAND NCT‘S Jaehyun.
Members Jungkook and Jaehyun have already begun their enlistment, with both idols leaving before their age would necessarily be required under most circumstances.
A recent interview with GOT7’s Yugyeom seemingly confirmed that his enlistment will take place in 2025.
Yugyeom was recently interviewed by Ginza magazinewhere he talked about many topics, including GOT7’s upcoming comeback.
Another question about his plans asked the idol what kind of year he would like 2025 to be. Yugyeom replied that since he was about to enlist, he wanted to meet many fans and share as much music as possible.
(in the year to come)

Being a 97-liner, Yugyeom’s enlistment wasn’t supposed to happen until 2026. An early enlistment also seems likely for many fans, as GOT7 Youngjae will start his again this year.
Fans expressed their emotions at the news and can’t wait to know what Yugyeom will post before he enlists!
Yugyeom has been recording a lot recently, so I guess we’ll have a full EP or album before he enlists 🥹https://t.co/3bUjFxdSFE pic.twitter.com/RwlaAwFsyq

Meanwhile, Yugyeom has already announced and started his Trusted tour, which has apparently been extended through 2025.
We look forward to Yugyeom’s plans for the year!
