Former Infinite member Hoya (real name Lee Howon), who is currently a solo artist and actor under Glorious Entertainment, began his mandatory military service February 7, 2019.
On February 5, Hoya shared a handwritten letter on his fan cafƩ addressed to HOLY (his fan club) with the announcement. The letter reads:
To HOLY
Hello, this is Hoya.
Itās already been a month since 2019 began, and the Lunar New Year is just around the corner.
Are you having a good holiday? Itās been nine years since I debuted. Time flies, doesnāt it? I think my 20s were so full of fansā love that I couldnāt explain [my time] without them. I was truly happy because of HOLY. Thank you for giving me memories that Iāll never forget for a long time.
Actually, I am writing this letter to tell you some sudden news today. Iām going to join the army after this holiday. Iām sorry to all my fans who are surprised by the sudden news. However, since this is my duty as a citizen, I will spend my time becoming more mature than I am now. I hope you all will be happy while waiting for me. Iāll be back healthy. When we meet again, Iāll greet you as a better person. Thank you always, and I love you.
From,
Lee Howon (Trans. Cr. Soompi)
Hoya is the second person associated with Infinite to enlist. Kim Sungkyu enlisted May 2018.Ā Hoya left Infinite in 2017 when his contract ended. He decided not to renew.
We wish Hoya the best during his service!
