Fans have been keeping an eye out for his enlistment news since earlier this year, wondering just when it may be. The answer has now come as SM Entertainmentannounced on the 5th, "Shindong will enter the 306th battalion in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggido on November 25 and receive training for 5 weeks before beginning his 21-month military service as an active-duty soldier... Shindong plans to prepare for his enlistment for the time being, and will be absent for the upcoming dates of Super Junior's 'Super Show 6'."

Shindong will be greatly missed!
