Newkidd member Hwi will begin his mandatory military service duties today, his agency confirmed on November 8.

J-FLO Entertainment confirmed with media outlets on this day, "Newkidd member Hwi will enlist as an active duty soldier today. As the nation is still mourning over the Itaewon tragedy, Hwi wished to enlist quietly. Thus, to respect the artist's wishes, the enlistment will proceed privately."

Hwi began his activities as a member of Newkidd in July of 2018 with the group's second pre-debut album, 'Boy Boy Boy'. Most recently, Hwi promoted alongside his group in July of this year, showcasing the special single "Victory".

Literally haven't heard the name Newkidd since the controversy last year when a couple members were admitted into the hospital and the company gave very little information and updates. It was honestly very confusing and troubling for fans.
