Highlight are considering enlisting together!

If you’re a K-pop fan, then 2018 is certainly proving to be an interesting year with the number of male idols who are enlisting or planning to enlist for mandatory military service!

Lee Gikwang from idol group Highlight appeared on MBC Radio Star recently and discussed the group’s plans for enlistment.

Gikwang stated, “The members have said, half as a joke, that we have to enlist because we’re all around 30 years old, so what if we did it as a group so the five of us went at the same time?”

When the hosts asked him if it was possible, Gikwang clarified that they wouldn’t mind if they were placed in different assignments, as long as the time was the same. Gikwang said, “We haven’t clearly and in detail said ‘Let’s definitely do it like this!’ but there aren’t any senior artists who have done this before.”

The hosts pointed out that it would mean they could start promoting all together again right after returning, and Gikwang agreed. He said, “We’d said it as a joke, but… Also, I wonder if it could be like a gift to the fans. I’m not sure about that, but we’re thinking about it.”

Check out the images from Highlight member Gikwang’s interview

Host Cha Tae Hyun then commented that they’d have to do a good job at persuading Son Dongwoon, who’s the youngest member of the group and therefore doesn’t need to enlist as soon as some of the others. Kim Gura mentioned that Son Dongwoon had recently said that if he became a regular host on ‘Radio Star‘, he’d enlist later, and that if he didn’t, he would go to the army.

Since Cha Tae Hyun ended up becoming the new regular host instead, Yoon Jong Shin joked, “We’ve made Highlight’s dream of enlisting together come true.” Lee Gikwang laughed and said, “Thank you for very cleanly taking care of Dongwoon’s ambition.”

What do you think of the possibility of all members of Highlight enlisting at the same time?  Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
