Former CNBLUE member Jonghun to be officially discharged from mandatory service later this month

AKP STAFF

Former CNBLUE member Jonghyun has received his final vacation before his official discharge from mandatory military service, and will not be returning to his base for his discharge date. 

On March 20, FNC Entertainment confirmed, "Lee Jonghyun is on his last vacation from his mandatory military service. As per temporary Coronavirus prevention protocol, he will not be returning to his military base, but will be officially relieved of his duties on March 25." 

As previously reported, entry in and out of military bases is temporarily banned for active duty soldiers due to Coronavirus (COVID19) prevention procedures. As a result, soldiers who are close to finishing their required mandatory service duties can leave their base early during their final vacation, and are not required to return to the base. Idols such as 2PM's Wooyoung, CNBLUE's Jungshin and Minhyuk, and 2AM's Jo Kwon were similarly discharged of their duties in this manner. 

Meanwhile, former CNBLUE member Jonghyun was previously accused of being a chat room member in Jung Joon Young's illegal hidden camera footage distribution case. Shortly afterward, FNC Entertainment confirmed his departure from CNBLUE.

Why is he still a part of FNC entertainment even though he left CNBLUE.

SK netizens are a punishing lot and the culture as Asian to save face is big. With the controversial conflict Jonghyun embroiled himself into (sex scandals), self-reflecting was short lived and a dm to the youtuber got him another flak (that matter could have been settled privately). FNC is poor at damage control of its artists. I just mourn of the loss of the music of CNBLUE as 4. Humans are frail and of the 4, Jonghyun lived the least idol-like of them. In their old variety show guestings Yonghwa was already wary of Jonghyun's outspokenness when topics came around to dating, women and his pov on these matters. I hope one day, they will be reunited again. When they are no longer with FNC and when they can become CNBLUE, the grandpa band they aspired for. Without the fluff of kpop and idol-like lifestyle, attention and just live for their music.
