After it was confirmed that EXO’s Baekhyun would be enlisting as a public service worker, it was revealed that this was due to long-term health issues.
Dispatch reported that Baekhyun had received a Grade-4 due to his hypothyroidism, according to the Military Manpower Administration’s revised physical examination. Grades 1-3 are qualified for active service.
Baekhyun submitted to military officials a medical certificate along with records of the past year of treatment. Grade-4 is the lowest grade that he could have received for his health condition. A source from the Military Manpower Administration stated that hypothyroidism usually receives Grade-3, but proof of medication taken for over six months can result in a Grade-4.
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland underproduces key hormones and results in a slower metabolism, fatigue, weight gain, intolerance to cold, swelling, and more. Dispatch reported that Baekhyun had been suffering from this condition for a long time, having first learned of it in high school, and that he managed it through medication and frequent blood tests.
Baekhyun will be enlisting on May 6. He will enlist as a public service worker after three weeks of basic training.

2. For real, I find the thought process of people who think that he got into public service with some preferential treatment so weirdㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Of course, it's because he's sick somewhere that he got admitted to public service. My first thought was that he has been hiding this from his fans all this time
3. The country saw that he deserved to go to public service so that's why he enlisted there. In what generation are we living in that people can just escape to public service in secret? I don't even care about Baekhyun but I just find him pitiful
4. EXID's Solji and Sayuri even got surgery because of this. Seems like this disease really gives you a hard time
5. No but what's the issue here? People were making a fuss about him serving in public service and are making a fuss again now that he's revealed to be sick? You guys are seriously crazy
6. My friend has this too, He can't really drink coffee and he can't eat things he wants and always needs to manage himself and he's f*cking pitiful.. Why are people making so much fuss about someone enlisting in public service? You guys are just making a sick person even more sick... Baekhyun, I hope that you enlist safely
7. Yah, if you think about how he promoted when he was doing well makes him so impressive... how did he endure this long?
8. He can just eat his medication, he must be having a freaking good time enlisting in public service ㄷㄷ
9. There are so many f*cked up kids in the comments... sigh
10. Looks like the people who are hating on him don't have any male acquaintances around themㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If someone around you was so sick that they have to enlist in public service, you will be able to tell right away that their condition is severeㅋㅋㅋㅋ they need to meet certain requirements in order to qualify for public serviceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
11. So that's why he's enlisting in public service...
12. Hul, hypothyroidism... he needs to manage himself well...
