Yong Jun-hyung's entrance into mandatory military service follows his being outed in connection with Jeong Joon-young's chat rooms wherein users shared secretly filmed sexual videos of women. While Yong Jun-hyung only received videos, and did not send any out, this was still enough to force him out of the musical group Highlight, formerly known as Beast, on March 14th.
Yong Jun-hyung stated in his apology that his actions were immoral and stupid. It is unknown whether Yong Jun-hyung will attempt any kind of comeback when his mandatory military service is over.
