MONSTA X's I.M, has been confirmed to be carrying out his mandatory military service next February 2026. On January 12, 2026, Starship Entertainment, as the agency, released an official statement that the owner of the real name Im Chang Kyun is scheduled to enter military service as an active soldier on February 9, 2026.
The agency stated that there would be no special official events on the day of his departure in order to maintain security at the training location. "I,M will be entering the training center on February 9, 2025 to undergo basic military training before serving as an active-duty soldier in the Republic of Korea Army," Starship Entertainment wrote.
"We ask that fans refrain from visiting the location to avoid crowding with other soldiers' families." In addition to his military service schedule, Starship also provided additional information regarding I.M's health condition.
It is known that the rapper has been undergoing rehabilitation due to the back pain he is suffering from. The good news is that I.M has received medical clearance to continue performing on stage, as long as the activity is not too strenuous or physically demanding.
This ensures that I.M will still participate in the 2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X: NEXUS] concert in Seoul. "Considering that the artist's health is the top priority, his participation in the Seoul concert will be adjusted so as not to cause excessive physical strain," the agency added.
The [THE X : NEXUS] concert in Seoul will be a very emotional moment for MONBEBE (the name for MONSTA X fans), because this will be the last chance to see the six members perform together on one stage before I.M begins his term. The agency concluded its statement by asking for fans' full support so that I.M can complete his national duties well and return in good health.
