Fans are already shedding tears and saying their farewells to Jaejoong as it has now turned March 31 in South Korea, meaning he will be heading off to the military for mandatory service in a matter of hours.

On March 30, Jaejoong had tweeted a picture of his short hairstyle in preparation for the army.  He wrote, "It's becoming shorter.  It will soon turn into a complete shave.  Thanks to the many friends, staff members, actors, family members, Yoochun who came despite being busy, Junsu, and our fans, I cried and laughed a lot and enjoyed a precious time before leaving."
