Taec Yeon (Ok Taec-yeon), a member of boy group 2PM, will join the army as he was declared fit for military service after a medical re-examination in Daegu, Thursday.

His military status has attracted public interest since he gave up his green card (permanent residency in the U.S.) in 2010 for enlistment and underwent medical treatments to pass the physical.

He has focused on treating his herniated disc, which can be reason for an alternative military service as opposed to serving as an active-duty soldier.

He underwent two surgical operations in 2012 and 2013. He also had metal pins in his arm removed, which were inserted when it was broken.

Sources said Taec Yeon expressed joy in being able to serve as a regular soldier.
