Onew, leader of K-pop boy band SHINee, will start compulsory military service on Dec. 10, according to the group's agency Friday.







SM Entertainment said, "Following Onew's wish, no other details are given as to where he will join the boot camp. There will be no special event."







He will be the first SHINee member to serve mandatory military service.







The singer, 29, debuted as a member of SHINee in 2008, and rose to stardom thanks to many hits including "Replay" in 2008 and "Lucifer" in 2010. He also appeared in the pan-Asian hit drama "Descendants of the Sun" in 2016.
