Yook first made the announcement on joining the army when he left the variety show “All the Butlers.” He’s been a founding cast member of the show since 2017 along with Lee Seung-gi, Yang Se-hyung and Lee Sang-yun.  

Seung-gi promised Yook that he can return to the show anytime he wants.  His fellow actor even said that no one can replace Yook in the show.

Yook said that the announcement may come suddenly and worry a lot of people.  But he said that the fans continuously give him strength and confidence. Their continuous love for him eases all his worries. 

He said that it is  inevitable that the Melodies will have to wait until BTOB becomes complete again. The members themselves are dreaming of the day until they meet their fans again, he said.  

Changsub and Lee Min-hyuk are currently doing their military service.  Yook has been the leader of the group in the absence of Eunkwang and Min-hyuk. He relinquished the leadership role when Eunkwang finished his military service on April 7. 

Yook released his first solo album “Yook O’Clock” on March 2. The actor said that he will continue to communicate with the fans through live broadcasts before enlistment. 

His drama, Mystic Pop-up Bar” will premier on May 20.
