Hongseok, a handsome member of K-Pop boy group PENTAGON, has been approved for early discharge due to poor health. CUBE Entertainment released a press release on December 26, 2022 announcing that the idol had been discharged from the military due to worsening depression and panic issues. The message also apologized to all Hongseok supporters for the sad news.
Hongseok enlisted in the army in May 2022. According to the announcement made by his agency on April 1, the 28-year-old handsome boy of the group will begin his mandatory military service in May. The press release also said the registration location and time would be kept secret due to the strict COVID-19 policy in place at the time.
According to CUBE Entertainment, PENTAGON’s Hongseok suffers from agoraphobia.
Hongseok, a popular musician from PENTAGON, the K-Pop powerhouse, was discharged from the army after just 8 months of service due to his worsening mental health condition and immediate medical attention needed. Fans were informed of this through a press release revealing Hongseok’s military classification as well as the artist’s health status. According to the statement:
“Hello. Cube Entertainment is us. Hongseok, a member of PENTAGON, has been classified for military service and has been discharged for medical reasons.”
Furthermore, according to the statement, the idol may suffer from depressive disorder and panic disorder, in addition to agoraphobia that he has suffered since before leaving for military service. It is stated:
“Hongseok underwent ongoing therapy and counseling during his military service for symptoms of depression and panic disorder with agoraphobia that he had previously suffered. However, as his symptoms worsened, the Army determined that he could not maintain military life and therapy at the same time, so he was medically discharged. .”
Finally, the message apologizes to the fans and promises that the artist’s recovery will come first:
“We regret for raising anxiety due to the unexpected news and will continue to do our best to keep Hongseok focused on his treatment.”
