Block B Park Kyung to Begin His Mandatory Military Service on October 19
According to an interview with Spotavi News on the 14th of October, 2020, Park Kyung is expected to enter a training center and begin military service on the 19th. After completing basic military training, he will be assigned to his own unit, and then will perform military service as active duty in the army.
Park Kyung was scheduled to enlist early this year but had applied for a postponement of the enlistment to receive a police investigation related to a controversy he had found himself in. In November of last year, he insisted on buying music by mentioning singers' real names such as Vibe, Song Ha-ye, Lim Jae-Hyun, Jeon Sang-Geun, Jang Deok-Cheol, and Hwang In-wook. The prosecution briefly prosecuted him for defamation, and Park Kyung received a summary order last month of a fine of 5 million won.
As the case ended with a fine, the reason for postponing enlistment was no longer valid. Park Kyung would now be able to fulfill his defensive duties as he was enlisted.
Park Kyung now attracts attention as he goes to the army amid controversy that he is a perpetrator of school violence. Mr. A, who attended the same a middle school as Park Kyung, revealed that Park Kyung harassed him. The ex-communication escalated, saying that Park Kyung took other students' money and belongings from the back door of the school and that he did not hesitate to make sexual comments to the girls. Subsequently, the controversy grew as several victims testified of the damage.
Since then, Park Kyung said, "I am very regretful of my immature puberty. I was busy, but I know that it is a memory that will never be erased by those who have been hurt by me and that the wounds can never be justified." He also added that "If you have been on the receiving end of it, please contact me directly or through our company. I want to apologize and ask for forgiveness in person."
