The agency said Yunho will greet fans and press at a military base in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, where his discharge ceremony is to take place.

The singer enlisted for his mandatory military service on July 21, 2015, to serve in the military band for 21 months. He was also appointed as “special warrior” for his performance in the military last May, scoring high on physical, mental and combat skills.

Expecting large crowds of fans and press to gather outside the military camp on Thursday, the agency recently asked fans via the group‘s official website to follow the safety guidance at the site.

“Thank you for waiting for Yunho during his service,” said an agency official.

“Please keep in mind that the site is a military zone. We ask you to be careful,” he added.
