The group SEVENTEEN member Woozi is stepping away from fans briefly to fulfill his defense duty.
SEVENTEEN member Woozi will enlist as an active-duty soldier in the Army on the 15th to carry out his defense duty. His agency Pledis Entertainment said, "Because the training camp entry ceremony is an event attended by many soldiers and family members, we ask that you refrain from visiting the site. Please leave your farewell and encouragement for Hoshi and Woozi on Weverse."
In SEVENTEEN, Jeonghan began his service last September as the first member. Jeonghan is serving as a social service worker, and Wonwoo enlisted on the 4th and, after receiving basic military training, is serving as a social service worker.
S.Coups, who is the same age as Jeonghan, tore his knee anterior cruciate ligament in 2023 and underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery and collateral ligament reconstruction surgery. He was later judged to be grade 5 in wartime labor service and was effectively exempted from military service, and another peer, Joshua, is Korean American.
Ahead of his enlistment, Woozi, who will step away from fans briefly upon enlisting, was spotted at the concert "SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_]" held on the afternoon of the 14th at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium in Yeonhui-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon. Because Woozi is about to enlist, he surprised fans by appearing in the audience with a buzz cut.
Meanwhile, in SEVENTEEN, Hoshi is scheduled to enlist on the 16th following Woozi.
