Super Junior's Kangin enlists for military duty

Super Junior member, Kangin or real name Kim Youngwoon, enlisted for military duty on July 5 at 1pm (KST). About 400 fans from around the world gathered at the ChooNam NonSan Centre since 7am to bid farewell to the talent.

Going to the army: Kangin soaks in the atmosphere 

outside the training camp

Around 1.15pm (KST), Kangin and the other SuJu members arrived. Kangin and several of his bandmates were seen shedding tears for their impending separation.

Kangin finally entered the training camp at around 1.45pm. He will be discharged from the South Korean army on April 16, 2012.

The 25 year old is suspended from all SuJu activities by his talent agency and was slapped with a US$8,000 fine by the court because of his DUI / hit-and-run accident in 2009. Thus, his enlistment is pretty good timing, actually.

Goodbye Kangin, ELFs are so gonna count down the days until April 16, 2012.
