2PM Ready for Military Enlistment.

South Korean boyband 2PM announced their final plans on their mandatory military service.

In South Korea, all male nationals are required to accomplish a two year mandatory service in the military.

The band plans to enlist after the release of their comeback album "Gentlemen's Game" and single "Promise (I'll Be)," Officially Kmusic reported.

Vocalist Taecyeon posted a message on Twitter with translation "Comeback! It's our last promotion before military service! Let's have fun! Whatever they say."

Earlier this year, Taecyeon shared with magazine Allure his plans for the military service. He said "It's my duty as a citizen. I'll work hard this year to create more memories before I start my military duty," Soompi cited.

Although Taecyeon grew up in the United States, he mentioned how much he loves working with the group and how he sees the military duty as an important responsibility of male citizens.

The band returned with the album "Gentlemen's Game" last Sept. 13 after more than a year of hiatus.

The song "Promise (I'll Be)" and "Gentlemen's Game" were co-written by Taecyeon. The two carrier singles of the new album were composed and produced by Hong Kong's pride Raphael and Lesley Chiang.

The comeback album is special for the band as they helped in composing seven out of 11 tracks. "Giv u Class" and "Humming" were written and composed by Wooyoung while "Make Love" and "Can't Stop Feeling" are Chansung's masterpieces.

2PM is under the agency JYP Entertainment and composed of Jun. K, Taecyeon, Nichkhun, Junho, Chansung and Wooyoung. Former group leader Jay Park separated with the group in 2010.

Just like other Korean bands, 2PM also debuted in Japan winning more fans around the world.

The band celebrated their eighth anniversary last Sept. 4. Fans are to cross their fingers for 2PM's comeback on their eleventh year in the industry after their military enlistment.
