DJ Tukutz Enters Military
DJ Tukutz, 28, a member of hip-hop trio Epik High, entered a military camp to start his two-year mandatory service, Thursday, just two days after his wedding.
His wife, two other members ― Tablo and Mithra Jin ― and other colleagues saw him off at the camp in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province.
Asked about his feelings by reporters, he said, ``This has been expected so I don't worry about military life.''
Commenting on the sudden marriage, he said, ``I thought I should marry as a promise before joining the army.''
Tablo told reporters that he bought a wrist watch as a present for DJ Tukutz and added he was about to cry, with tears welling in his eyes.
DJ Tukutz embraced all of his colleagues and had a group photo with them before entering the camp.
Epik High has quit promotional broadcasting activities for their sixth album ``[e]'' following the conscription of DJ Tukutz, which came less than one month after the group released the latest album with the track ``Wannabe.''
However, Tablo and Mithra Jin are expected to continue their individual music projects.
Epik High recently made the iTunes Top 100 chart with the album.
