During the recording of the upcoming episode of KBS2’s “Yoo Hee-yeol’s Sketchbook,” boy band 2PM revealed that they are preparing to enlist for their mandatory military service.

For the first time in three years, all six members of 2PM appeared on the show, and they unveiled their bittersweet plans before entering the Army.

2PM revealed, “Our promotional activities for this album will be the last before going to the Army.”

Despite being industry veterans with eight years of experience, the band revealed, “We have never been on vacation as a group, and so we would really like to go before enlisting in the army.”

In a previous interview, 2PM disclosed “The exact dates have not been set, but all the members, with the exception of Nichkhun, plan to enlist soon.”

Jun.K and Taecyeon also revealed that they plan on enlisting together, in early 2017.

The upcoming episode of “Yoo Hee-yeol’s Sketchbook” with 2PM is scheduled to air Friday.
