Super Junior's Donghae talked to fans about his upcoming mandatory enlistment in the army.

He posted to Instagram on October 14, "ELF! I'm sorry that Donghae will be leaving you lonely for a year and 9 months! I think it'll be even more meaningful because I'm enlisting on my birthday. I'll return well with an awesome image. I love you, ELF! I'll return well withEunhyuk."

In the photo, Donghae looks to be surrounded by gifts from his fans, who are obviously a little disappointed he's leaving. His short hair also got some attention.

Donghae will be enlisting into his mandatory military service on the 15th. Are you going to miss him?
