Honestly, you know... before I shave my head and go to the training center, the members will come and see me off, right? When that moment comes and we're saying our goodbyes, I think I'm going to get really emotional.
To be honest, I think I'll cry more when I see the members than when I see my parents. When I was younger, I probably would have cried a lot because of my parents, but now I've grown up, and my mom knows that too.
And honestly, because I don't get to see my parents that often anyway, even while I'm serving, whenever I get leave and come home, it'll probably be about the same amount as I see them now. But when it comes to saying goodbye to the members, I think that's really going to hurt. I guess that just shows how much we've been through together.

If Heechan cries, then that's game over. That's when it'll become really sad.
If Heechan cries too... I think Harry might end up tearing up as well. And honestly, D1 might surprise us and cry too.
I can even imagine D1 crying while thinking, 'Now I'm the leader...'
We've always shared leadership responsibilities together, but now D1 is going to have to carry a lot more of that burden on his own, so he'll probably have a lot more on his mind.
As for Gwanghyun, I don't think he'd cry in front of me... although who knows. Actually, he's been really empathetic about all of this.
He told me that even though he's not the one enlisting, because it's me who's going, it feels so real to himโas if he's the one going himself.
32:55โ34:34
Of course BBs are going to be sad too. Of course. But what I mean is, all of our BBs can't be there together in that moment. That's why I'm being careful talking about it.
Honestly, if I had been able to join the military band, it would've been nice because then there'd be performances and chances for you all to see me. That's something I'm a little disappointed about.
But at my age, that's not an option anymore.
Still, even though that's unfortunate, I've done so many concerts and activities throughout this year, so I guess it can't be helped.
And just in case anyone is misunderstanding, I don't know where I'll be assigned after basic training, but I'm enlisting as an active-duty soldier. It's not military band service.
35:59โ36:51
Even if I'm not there, I'd be happy if you still came to the fan concerts.
Actually, I'd like to watch DKB's performances as a fan too. If the members hold a concert while I'm on leave, I really want to go watch.
So even if I'm not there, please still go to the concerts.
The members will probably gain strength from that. We're family, after all.
And I've been so busy lately because I'm trying to finish things and leave behind as much work and music as possible for everyone.

When we went to Japan, I didn't know for certain that I'd be enlisting yet. It was only officially confirmed yesterday after my re-examination.
I had expected it would happen around this time, though.
But we didn't know about the anchor concert that much earlier than the fans did.
Even if I had known it would be my last concert before enlistment, I didn't want to end things on a sad note.
Actually, during the fan concert in Korea, I think I cried a lot because I instinctively felt that it might be my last concert in Korea before I left.
I think somewhere in my heart I knew it could be my last chance to stand on stage with the members before enlistment. That's probably why I cried so much then.
