Kangta goes to the army for eternity

20080303_kangta

That’s right. HOT’s Kangta will be carted off to the military for 2 years on April 1st, 2008. But before leaving the limelight, the 29 year old singer will drop his 4th album, “Eternity” in the middle of March 2008. Also, so fans can catch another glimpse of the star, he will have a goodbye concert at Yonsei University Auditorium on March 29th.

Good bye Kangta. Let’s hope that you become a real man after 2 years of hard training.

Pop in:
Kangta dozes off before HBS students
Bye bye Ha ha
Who is saying his last goodbye?
Which celebs are getting drafted today?

    He does look a lot like SiWon in that picture. I’m going to miss him.

    sigh im going to miss him but i think he looks nice the way he is and he doesn’t need to change himself because of people who think he’s not manly enough.

    I glad Kangta decided to go. I will miss her so much. She was may favorite out of the Fe-Man singers. Much love to Kangta. Don’t come back all manned up. I love her just the was she is. Kangta – Fighting!!! Stay with the limp wrist don’t get too strong. Remember moisturizer to the face and hands every night. xoxo

    Oh boy I’m laughing like a wild hiena (sp?) aright now!

    As I was reading the article my brothers walked by the computer and asked “Ooh that is one hot chick! Who is she?”
    Seriously I started laughing at him for about 15 mins!

    But all jokes aside, I hope Kangta will come much more manlier after the Army…I never could understand my dad’s philosophy about ho the Army can change you inot a better man. But now I understand cuz Kangta seriously needs to butch up not just inlooks but his entire aura comes off as femmy.

    Nooooooooooooo…
    Oh no… Kangta is goin to army…. this must be a bad thing for sm… since he contributed a lot for sm since he first join…
    I dudn’t know he’s a shareholder of SM,.,. that must be why he has more freedom and so on…
    He’s a great singer and great songwriter… So excited for his 4th album… can’t wait..!!!

    Isn’t he already a REAL man??? i mean neck down… He’s HOT… But I dun think army can change his pretty face…
    He will still has that pretty face…I guess.. Hopefully his aura will be more manlier too..

    Kangta FIghting!!

    T_____T *wails* Kangta…. lmao He’ll be fine, come back safe~ xP
    HOMG he looks like Siwon in that pic… o__O;

    I try my best not to go fan-crazy over anyone but…
    God. Kang Ta. Loved the man forever. T.T

    Ah, the mini-album is beautiful and very Kang Ta. It’s full of his ballads, with those titles and themes sure to make the fans cry once he’s gone in a few weeks. His recent performance…I think he was pretty close to tears himself.

    I want him to return the way he is, but I’m sure he’ll definately pick up some muscle…. Just when I was getting fond of his hairstyle again. <<; Hurry back. ;-;

    yeh, when siwon first debuted in that series called 18/28 i think? people always compared the similarity in their appearances. But so sad *shinhwa+ hot*
    Kang ta contributed so much to smtown and the korean music industry overall
    i’m gonna miss him sooooooooooo much and the eternity album is hot too!!!

    Kangta’s song; Eternity is outstanding and best of luck to him with the 2 year military service.

    Hahah who ever was “led to believe” that Kangta would be going into the army for “eternity” is stupid and knows very little about the Korean army. It’s about god damn time Kangta goes into the army.

    I LOVE YOU KANGTA FOR ALL ETERNITY….
