The "Flash Military Service" issue in the entertainment industry is growing, involving artists like "Bang Bang Tang Boy" William and "SpeXial" Chen Xiangxi (Little Bear), who are being investigated by prosecutors. This has led many Taiwanese idol artists to be scrutinized for whether they have served in the military. Following Energy's "all members not having served," netizens have discovered that Taiwan's local boy band "5566" was the only group where all members served in the military.
A netizen discussed on Threads, "I found that in the circulated list of artists exempted from service due to illness, there are almost no artists from Jungiery! Except for Toro, so did all of 5566, 183club, K ONE, and others serve in the military? Letting their artists properly fulfill national duties and not evade military service is really commendable. Artists who have properly served in the military should still be quite many, right!?"
After the post was published, professional netizens quickly pointed out that aside from Xiao Dao (Peng Kang-yu), who left the group due to a back injury and didn't complete his full military service, Sun Xiezhi, Wang Renfu, Wang Shaowei, and Xu Mengzhe all served in the military. You can even find footage or news about their military service in programs. Interestingly, even stories about Wang Shaowei and Wang Renfu being betrayed by military lovers were dug up.
Additionally, some fans wrote detailed timelines, "Among them, 4 members served before forming the group, while Xu Mengzhe went to serve later." Everyone praised, "5566 is so cool! They've all served in the military," "I have to apologize to 56 because I laughed at them when I was a kid," "It turns out they are the most responsible ones after all, 56 cannot perish indeed," "I also immediately thought of 56 having all served in the military, never loved them wrongly, I'm moved," "The only boy band I admire is 5566."
