3rd Generation Female Idol Shocks With Military Announcement

Say it ain’t so!

Fans were left stunned after MAMAMOO’s Solar was unexpectedly announced to be enlisting in the military — not through her agency or social media, but via a message from the idol fan communication app Fromm.

On October 10, fans received a sudden notification stating that Solar’s Fromm service would be “temporarily suspended due to her upcoming enlistment,” shocking fans and sparking confusion across online communities.

As the post went viral, many netizens debated whether it was an error by the app’s team.

At the time of writing, RBW Entertainment has yet to release an official statement clarifying the situation. Whether it was a mistake or an unprecedented move, one thing’s for sure — Solar just made K-pop history without even trying.
