JYJ (Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu) are the center of attention for getting their medical examinations done in their mid-twenties. This is because they should have had their mandatory medical examination done at the age of 19, which was 5 years ago. This has brought on a 'Hallyu Star Special Treatment' controversy.
But according to the Seoul Military Manpower Administration (MMA), the trio's medical examinations have been delayed for legitimate reasons of 'Overseas Departure'.
According to a representative of the MMA, "Saying that we have special treatment for celebrities is absurd. JYJ's medical examination has been delayed due to frequent overseas trips since they were 19. 'Overseas Departure' can only delay the medical examination till the age of 24." He also added, "We do not delay every medical examination for all people who take overseas trips. If you stay in Korea for 60 days or longer between these trips, you are ordered to complete your medical examination. From what I know, this was not the case for JYJ."
Though JYJ got their medical examinations done on the 14th, they do not have any plans of enlisting this year. JYJ are holding a world tour in the first half of this year and Kim Junsu is currently performing in the musical 'Tears of Heaven'.
