“Hello, our EXO-L. This is Suho.

I am writing this letter today because I have something to tell you.

On May 14, I will be serving in the military to carry out my duties. I think I'll miss EXO-L for that long.

I hope our EXO-Ls, who think of me and love me every day, are always healthy. I sincerely thank you, and I love you.

We are one, EXO. Let's love. "

That's the short letter Suho wrote and uploaded today. A few moments later, the agency SM Entertainment confirmed the news and said, “Suho will be enlisting in the military on May 14th. The time and location for the military service will not be announced. " No official announcement means no public farewell events with fans, following the two previous members Xiumin and DO

Prior to his military service, Suho made his debut by releasing a mini album titled Self Portrait at the end of March.

This first album managed to top the South Korean and international charts and its sales were high for SM Entertainment soloists.
