  Kim began his mandatory military service on October 23, 2017. He was supposed to work in public service duty instead of active duty as he previously underwent a surgery related to his heart. However, he voluntarily went for re-examinations and was eventually cleared for the combat. He entered a military camp in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, to complete his basic training.
  
  In late November 2017, Kim's agency announced that he had completed his five weeks of basic training, placing fourth as an outstanding trainee. He was rewarded with a vacation by the division commander and received a self deployment to the First Reconnaissance Battalion to continue his duty.
  
  In February 2019, Kim received an early promotion as a Sergeant for his conduct in the military. Kim was discharged from his military service on July 1, 2019.
