Please send your support and encouragement to J.Seph, who will make his return as a more mature artist.ŌĆØ J.Seph also posted a handwritten letter on KARDŌĆÖs official fan cafe and his Instagram. ŌĆ£Hello, this is KARDŌĆÖs J.Seph (Taehyung). In 2011, at the age of 20, I went to Seoul to begin my career as a singer, and I was able to spend my precious 20s in a meaningful way. In 2020, I will be enlisting in the military (on October 5) at a somewhat older age than others. Although IŌĆÖm a little afraid of the soon-to-be new and unfamiliar environment, IŌĆÖm also looking forward to my life with a new identity. I will faithfully carry out my duty as a Korean man and proudly return to everyoneŌĆÖs side. Until then, please show support and kindness to Matthew, Somin, and Jiwoo as KARD. IŌĆÖll cherish all of the love and energy IŌĆÖve received from everyone over this time, and IŌĆÖll be sure to stay healthy while IŌĆÖm gone. From, TaehyungŌĆØ J.Seph debuted as a member of KARD in 2017 and has garnered success through songs like ŌĆ£Rumor,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£DonŌĆÖt Recall,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Bomb Bomb,ŌĆØ and more. Source (1)
