Jinjin’s Exemption from Military Service
On July 2,, ASTRO’s agency Fantagio officially announced that Jinjin has been exempted from military service. This decision was made following a thorough evaluation by the Military Manpower Administration regarding Jinjin’s health status. The agency stated that he has been deemed unfit for duty due to complications associated with his autoimmune disease.

Health Considerations and Future Activities
Despite his exemption, ASTRO’s Jinjin reportedly leads a normal daily life, although he requires regular medical check-ups to monitor his health condition. The agency confirmed that while he can manage everyday activities, the nature of his autoimmune disease necessitates ongoing medical oversight, which was a significant factor in the decision to exempt him from military service.
Support from Fans and Fellow Members
Fantagio expressed gratitude towards fans for their unwavering support during this time. They emphasized their commitment to prioritizing Jinjin’s health while allowing him to continue his public activities as part of ASTRO. Concurrently, fellow member Cha Eun-woo is set to enlist in the military band on July 28, marking a momentous chapter for the group amid these changes.
