Singer Jang Moon-bok (31) shared his thoughts upon completing his mandatory military service with the army.

Jang Moon-bok posted a verification photo on his Instagram on the 16th, saying, "I have completed my one year and six months of military service and am now being discharged."

He continued, "Personally, I have lived for a long time by always executing my plans, so the simple realization of 'discharge' has not hit me as strongly as expected. However, through the memories and happiness accumulated here, and sometimes through difficult experiences, I have gained invaluable experiences that I could never have had in my life until now, whether I wanted them or not. While I cannot list everything one by one, I would like to sincerely express my gratitude to all those who were with me every moment during my military service." He was immersed in these unique emotions.

Jang Moon-bok also said, "And above all, thanks to everyone who sincerely worried about and supported me during my military service, I was fortunate enough to complete it safely without any injuries or pain."

Meanwhile, Jang Moon-bok said, "Coincidentally, I was discharged from the military on the 16th, the day after Liberation Day, which marks our freedom from Japanese imperial aggression, plunder, and colonial rule. In honor of this, I express my deepest respect to the countless independence activists and all those unknown individuals who, since the founding of the nation, willingly stood up against injustice for the sake of the country, to reclaim it, and to protect it."

Finally, Jang Moon-bok concluded his message by saying, "On this day when a pleasant breeze signals a new beginning after the scorching heat, I stand before you again as 'singer Jang Moon-bok.' I will do my best."

Jang Moon-bok first gained attention after participating in the 2010 Mnet audition program "Superstar K" Season 2, and later took on the challenge of the 2017 Mnet idol audition variety show "Produce 101" Season 2. He subsequently debuted as a member of the group Limitless in 2019.

Hello, this is Moon Bok!!

I have completed my one-year and six-month military service and am now being discharged.

It has always been me who first asked how you are doing.

Now, to conclude his active duty service here

I have come to offer my greetings.

The time I have lived by always executing what I had personally planned.

It has been a long time, and the mere feeling of "discharge" is more than expected.

It may not feel very significant, but the memories and happiness accumulated here,

Sometimes, while going through difficult things, whether I wanted to or not...

I have had a precious experience that I could not have encountered in my life until now.

We cannot list everyone one by one, but during military service

To all the connections who have been with me every moment, from the bottom of my heart.

I would like to convey my gratitude in this way.

And above all, with sincere feelings about serving in the military.

Thanks to all of you who were concerned and offered your support.

Fortunately, I finished safely without any injuries or pain, and my body is in good health.

Coincidentally, from Japan's imperialist aggression, plunder, and colonial rule

On the day after Liberation Day on August 15, when he was discharged from military service

For the nation since its founding, to restore the nation

who bravely stood up against injustice to protect it once again

To countless independence activists and all those unknown

We express our deepest condolences.

It began at the moment when the wind blew fiercely.

After enduring scorching heat so intense that one could not even lift their head

A pleasant breeze blowing to herald a new beginning

Today, I stand before you again as "Singer Jang Moon-bok."

We will do our best.

- Retired Private First Class Jang Moon-bok
