The agency said Wednesday the rapper will start his mandatory military service on May 29 and undergo five weeks of basic military training at a boot camp in Cheorwon, Gangwon Province.

“He will spend the remaining time working on his ongoing music projects,” said an agency official.

He previously had applied to take a test for the military police force unit, which many celebrities opt for, but decided to join the army as a solider instead.

Teaming up with music producer Shimmy Twice under the name “Jazzyfact,” Beenzino is currently working on the duo’s second full-length album. It released its first full album “Lifes Like” in 2010.

He has also been dating German model Stefanie Michova. He confirmed the relationship in May 2015.
