[talk] [2025 Latest] Who will enlist in Stray Kids' military service and when? Predicted enlistment order and dates revealed!

Let's take a closer look at the military service obligations of Stray Kids members! We've organized the two members who are exempt from military service, the enlistment order of the remaining members, their expected enlistment dates, and their return schedules at a glance. Check out all the information about Stray Kids' military service!

1. About Stray Kids' military service system

In Korea, men are assessed for military service when they turn 18, and conscription tests begin when they turn 19. As a result of the conscription test, military service obligations are imposed depending on the health condition and age. Military service obligations must usually be completed by the age of 28.

However, for young people who start their careers early, such as idol groups, the issue of military service is unavoidable. Stray Kids is no exception, and fans are very interested in the order and timing of the members' military service.

The length of military service varies by branch, with the Army receiving 18 months of training, the Navy receiving 20 months, the Air Force receiving 22 months, and the Marines receiving 21 months of training, the toughest branch. Idols are mostly assigned to the Army, but can also volunteer for the Navy or Air Force if they wish.

2. Members exempt from military service: Bang Chan and Felix

The two Stray Kids members who are exempt from military service are Bang Chan and Felix, who are both Australian citizens. Both are Korean-Australian and hold Australian citizenship, which means they are exempt from military service in South Korea.

Bang Chan was born in Australia to Korean parents and is an Australian citizen, which means he is exempt from military service.

The same goes for Felix; he was born in Australia and is an Australian citizen, so he is exempt from military service in South Korea.

This confirms that Bang Chan and Felix will not be serving in the military, and it will not have a major impact on Stray Kids' activities.

3. In what order will people serve in the military? Prediction of enlistment order

Since military service is usually ordered by age, the six members, excluding Bang Chan and Felix, are expected to enlist in order of age. Below is the age order of Stray Kids' members and their expected enlistment order.

♥️Rino (born October 25, 1998)

Reno was born in 1998 and is the oldest, so he is expected to be the first to enlist, likely in 2026 or early 2027 and likely to be discharged in 2028.

♥️Changbin (born August 11, 1999)

Changbin was born in 1999 and is expected to enlist after Reno, with his enlistment expected to begin around 2027 and his discharge around February 2029.

♥️Hyunjin (born March 20, 2000)

Hyunjin is Stray Kids' ace and beloved by fans, but he is expected to enlist around 2028 and be discharged in September 2029.

♥️Han (born September 14, 2000)

Han is the same age as Changbin, born in 1999, but is predicted to enlist after him. He is likely to enlist in September 2028 and be discharged in March 2030.

♥️Seungmin (born September 22, 2000)

Seungmin is roughly the same age as Han, so his enlistment and discharge dates may overlap with Han's. Seungmin will likely enlist in September 2028 and be discharged in March 2030.

♥️Aien (born February 8, 2001)

As the youngest, AIEN will be the last to enlist, expected to enlist in 2029 and be discharged in August 2030.

If we go by this order, it is expected that Stray Kids will not be reunited in their entirety until after 2030.

4. What will happen after the enlistment? Predictions until the complete group is back

As the members take turns enlisting, it is likely that Stray Kids' activities will be partial. In particular, if Reno enlists first, the group will not be able to promote as a full group.

However, Stray Kids members will be able to continue their activities individually. For example, they will continue to connect with fans through unit activities or solo activities. Also, the focus of the group's activities in the years between 2026 and 2030 may be on individual members or units.

It is expected that the group will not resume activities as a complete group until after I.N is discharged from the military in August 2030. At that time, it is expected that Stray Kids will resume activities as a full group and maintain their global popularity.

5. What happens if you avoid military service? The issue of exemption for entertainers

In South Korea, evading military service is a major social problem. Military service is a national duty, and failure to fulfill military service will result in severe scrutiny in the rest of social life.

In the past, some celebrities have cheated to avoid military service, which resulted in social criticism, such as Song Seung-heon and Jang Hyuk, who were found to have evaded military service but ended up enlisting.

As such, military service is an unavoidable obligation, and the members of Stray Kids must obey the law and serve in the military.

6. Summary: Fans' feelings and expectations for the future

Stray Kids' military service issue is undoubtedly a cause for concern for fans, but with the exception of Bang Chan and Felix, the six members are expected to serve in the military in order of age and continue to connect with fans through their individual activities.

It will take some time for the group to return to its full form, but the day will come in August 2030 when the full lineup can perform together again. Let's look forward to that time and continue to support each individual member!
