Popular South Korean group EXO member Baekhyun is enlisting in the military. The 28-year-old musician, who recently dropped his third solo mini-album 'Bambi', will enlist on May 6 on his birthday.

Taking to LYSN spp to talk about his enlistment, Baekhyun wrote, "Today is cloudy, so I want to tell you a good word, but the first thing I want to know is to let you know, so I'm going to talk like this! I received a notice of enlistment today on May 6th," he started off the letter.

"We don't fall forever, but I want to let you spend time with me in a variety of ways to make us feel that we're still together in other forms rather than waiting and missing and sad while we're away for a while until the day of enlistment! So I'll try harder and prepare things! I know how hard it is to wait, so I want to say that I love you rather than asking you to wait! I love you and I like you," Baekhyun concluded.
