After bidding farewell to Heechul as he parted ways to join the army last week, it looks like Super Junior will once again need to brace for yet another member departure, as Leeteuk announced his plans to enlist in the South Korean army.

In an interview following the successful ‘SM TOWN Live in Tokyo Special Edition‘ concert, Leeteuk revealed that he will be enlisting next year. “I plan to enter the military next year,” he said, jokingly adding that “I’m saying this so I don’t get hateful comments such as ‘Just go to the army’.”

“The Tokyo Dome was a dream stage for me,” he revealed. “It was always my wish to stand on it before I left for the army.”

He also spoke about his performance at the Tokyo concert and how it affected him personally. “I felt happy seeing the fans go crazy over the final ending performance, where we sang “Light“, a song personally composed by our senior Kangta.”

It is sad to see them part ways, but I have much respect for those who want to serve their country. I wish much safety for Leeteuk in the future, as well as for Heechul and the other artists who have left for the military. Good luck!
