Golden Child held '2022 GOLDEN CHILD CONCERT - Play' in Seoul on February 5th and 6th and met directly with fans after about two years. In particular, a surprise event was held for Daeyeol at the end of the performance. It was prepared by other members and fans to support Daeyeol, who announced that he was about to enlist in the military through the concert. 

He tearfully expressed his happiness at being able to meet his fans before he enlisted in the military on March 29. Then, on March 21, he took to Twitter to confirm the news with the fans that weren’t able to attend the concert. He encapsulated all his feelings in the note saying that despite confirming his enlistment in February, it felt more personal writing a note before leaving. He also said that the fans should continue to love and support the group as he quietly does his duty towards the country and will surely see them soon!
