Super Junior member Ye Sung, 28, left the spotlight temporarily to fulfill his two-year mandatory military service.
Ye Sung enlisted with the 35th division in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, on Monday for four-week basic military training. After basic training he will serve 23 months in a public service position.

The night of his enlistment, Ye Sung wrote a message to his fans on his Twitter account: “I will miss it all. Stages, songs... I look forward to the day we meet again, ELF. No worries, love you all!”
Although he tried not to make a big scene, hundreds of fans gathered in front of the army recruitment center to watch him enlist. However, Ye Sung did not stop his car and drove straight into the reserve enlistment site. He tweeted later, “Thank you for coming so far. I told you not to come. Everyone, be healthy. See you again.”
Other Super Junior members did not accompany him, just as the agency had announced last week. An official said that since it was too far away and Ye Sung wanted to enlist quietly, Super Junior members would not accompany him.
