DKB's D1 to enlist Oct. 26, agency says he passed military band audition

D1 of the boy group DKB will fulfill his mandatory military service as an active-duty soldier.

DKB's agency Brave Entertainment said Wednesday via Instagram that it was sharing an update on D1's enlistment.

"D1 applied for the Army military band and recently received final approval from the Military Manpower Administration," the agency said. "He is scheduled to enlist as an active-duty soldier on Oct. 26 to fulfill his military service."

The agency added that no official event would be held on the day D1 enters the training center. "Since many service members and their families will be present, we ask fans to refrain from visiting the scene to prevent any safety incidents," it said.

It also asked fans for their continued support, saying, "Please give D1 your unwavering love and warm encouragement so that he can faithfully complete his military duties and return in good health."

D1 serves as the lead vocalist of DKB.

The group's name is short for "Dark Brown Eyes," meaning "boys with brown eyes making their way through Asia."

DKB is known as an all-around group capable of handling nearly every aspect of production themselves, including songwriting, composing, choreography, DJing, acrobatics and playing instruments.

DKB debuted in the music industry in February 2020.

Earlier, in June, Brave Entertainment also announced that DKB's leader, rapper and lead dancer Lee Chan had enlisted. Lee entered a training center on June 23 to fulfill his mandatory military service in the Army as an active-duty soldier.
