I hope you will never forget my songs." I hoped. He also said, “If there is anything I can sing before enlisting, I will put it first. I want to tell you more, but I am always bad at expressing it, and since I feel both gratitude and apology to my fans, I am just sincerely grateful, grateful, and I love you.” “I tell you to stay healthy always,” he added.
Park Jae-jung debuted in 2014 after winning Season 5 of Mnet's audition program 'Superstar K' in 2013. 'Let's Break Up', which he released last year, topped the Melon Ballad Chart 10 years after his debut. The song is still loved and remains at the top of major music charts.

This is Park Jae-jeong. I am writing this because I think you may be wondering how I am doing. Actually, I thought my enlistment would be a little early, so I finished all my activities and was waiting for my enlistment warrant, but I recently received my enlistment warrant on a slightly later date than I expected. I will enlist in the military on May 21, 2024.
Since I have more time than I thought, I thought it would be a good idea to listen to at least one song, so I would like to show you one of the songs I worked on. It's a song called 'What Happened?' It is scheduled to be announced on May 9th. We would appreciate it if you could look forward to it. The 'preparation' that I originally planned to announce before enlistment was not easy to complete to my satisfaction before enlistment, so I'm planning to wait until later.
In fact, during my visit, I coolly told him to take comfort in the songs of other singers, but I think he also had a strong desire to leave behind memorable songs and remain as an unforgettable singer. I hope you don’t forget my songs.
In the meantime, I took some time off to recover my voice, compose music, and spend some time on my own.
On a personal note, April 10th was my father’s birthday. I said that I am truly grateful that I was able to experience this world and live thanks to my mother and father.
If there is anything I can sing before enlisting, I will make it a top priority. I'd like to tell you more, but I'm always bad at expressing myself, and since I'm both thankful and sorry to my fans, I just want to say that I'm sincerely grateful, grateful, and I love you, and stay healthy always.
