Super Junior members Eunhyuk and Donghae will begin their mandatory military service on Oct. 13 and 15, respectively, local news reported Wednesday.

The 29-year-old Eunhyuk will serve active duty in the Korean Army, while Donghae, 28, will enter the conscripted police force as a substitute for active duty service in the military.

The two -- who released albums and held concerts as Super Junior subunit D&E -- are expected to have low-key enlistments.

Eunhyuk will be the seventh and Donghae the eighth to enter the military among 12-member band Super Junior. Shindong and Sungmin are currently enlisted, while four members, Kangin, Yesung, Heechul and Leeteuk, have completed their duties. It was reported Wednesday that Siwon will enlist on Nov. 19.

The members are expected to say their farewells at the upcoming 10-year anniversary concert “Super Camp” on Sept. 19 at Hwajeong Stadium of Korea University in Seoul.

The two-year obligation of military service applies to all able-bodied South Korean men in a country that is still technically at war with North Korea.
