Musician Dawn will be taking a temporary hiatus from his activities to carry out his mandatory military duties. 

On October 12 KST, Dawn personally delivered news of his enlistment via Instagram Story, writing,

"Hello everyone, this is Dawn. 

I bring rather sudden news today!

Starting today, I will begin my mandatory military service duties as a public service worker. 

I hope you will understand that I was not able to relay the news earlier, as I hoped to enlist quietly. 

With a little bit of disappointment behind me, I would like to at least take this opportunity to convey my gratitude before I go.

I sincerely thank the fans for their generous support, and I promise to return healthy after completing my duties.

Several projects which have been completed in advance will be revealed in time from now on, so please look forward to them.

Thank you!"

Dawn's label AT AREA also confirmed on this day that Dawn will begin his basic training today (October 12 KST). Upon completing of his basic training, Dawn will carry out his public service at the Gangnam District Office.
