On April 9, GOT7's management agency JYP Entertainment stated that BAMBAM is in Thailand for his military enlistment lottery.


In Thailand, all male citizens who have turned 21 have to go through a random draft lottery in order to fulfill the requisite number of soldiers in the army.
The eligible citizens are subjected to a random draft lottery for a red or black card―and if you get a red one, you have to serve the mandatory military service for two years.
Previously, other Thai K-pop celebrities such as 2PM's NICHKHUN and NCT's TEN have been exempt from the mandatory service, as the recruit spots were filled before his turn for NICHKHUN, and from the knee surgery he has gone through in the past for TEN.
