EXO’s Chen announces military enlistment date a day after releasing his heartfelt single ‘Hello’

"Hello, this is Chen. Are you all doing well and staying healthy these days, when the daily temperature swings are especially severe? The summer heat has passed, and in the blink of an eye, it’s already autumn. The reason I’m writing to all of you today is to inform you that I’ll be enlisting in the military on October 26 and to at least say goodbye to you through this letter. During my time in service, I will do my utmost to fulfill my duties in good physical and mental health, so that I can show you growth and improvement when I return and greet you again. At that time, I hope that all of you will also stay as beautiful and healthy as you are now!! I’m always grateful to you, and I love you," Chen wrote (via Soompi).

Chen becomes the fourth EXO member to head for mandatory military service after Xiumin, D.O., and Suho.

On October 15, Chen dropped his new single 'Hello' with an emotional music video. In the heartfelt song, he addressed his feelings about never saying goodbye. "Not knowing what to say next / I put down the pen that I was holding tightly / The words I couldn't tell you / Will remain in my hearts as regrets, but / My love, I may not ever know / If this incomplete letter would reach you / Even if it doesn't, I hope you're fine / I desperately hope that you'll be well," the emotions reflect in the lyrics.

The song has been composed and arranged by Kim Jae Hwi and penned by Hwang Yoo Bin.
