YUDABINBAND guitarist and singer-songwriter Lee Jun-hyung will begin active-duty service in the Army on January 5, 2026, serving as a member of the military band.
On December 4, Lee shared the news directly on social media, posting a heartfelt letter reflecting on his 15-year journey since first picking up a guitar in sixth grade and the long hiatus ahead. He admitted the uncertainty that comes with stepping away but added that, in the end, all he can do is keep playing and singing.
He’ll perform right up to enlistment: his final solo concert series, "#FLORAL," runs January 2-4 at SA Hall in Jongno, Seoul. An extension of his ongoing "FLORAL" project, the shows are set to cap off the musical world he’s been building ― and serve as a true last night with fans before service.
Lee also thanked longtime supporters, saying that while a break is inevitable, he plans to sing without regrets until the very last day and hopes fans will remember him when he returns.
His label, MPMG MUSIC, said the announcement will stir both sadness and support among fans, and asked for warm encouragement as he completes his service and comes back healthy.
In November, YUDABINBAND wrapped its solo concert "Our Night ― Curtain Call" to strong response. Lee is now preparing "#FLORAL," with tickets available via NOL Ticket.
