Super Junior member Kim Ryeowook will be making a solo debut in 2016.

During a recent interview with PlayDB, Ryeowook confirmed that he will make his solo debut before enlisting in the Korean army for his mandatory military service.

"I want to show myself as the singer Ryeowook before I have to enlist next year, so I’m currently preparing for that," said Ryeowook, as reported by Soompi.

The 28-year-old entertainer hinted that a solo debut might just be the tip of the iceberg for his future career goals.

"In the end, I just want to show whatever image I can on stage, whether that image be as a singer, as a variety talent, or as an actor."

Ryeowook is currently appearing on stage in Seoul in the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which will close on January 31, 2016.

While an exact enlistment date is yet to be determined, Ryeowook will be joining five other members of Super Junior who are currently fulfilling their required military service - Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Siwon, and Donghae.
