SEVENTEEN members will soon begin their military service in the South Korean army. The first member of the group to enlist is Yoon Jeong-han, known by the mononym Jeonghan.

According to a new statement from their agency Pledis Entertainment, Jeonghan will not participate in the promotion of the 12th mini album as he will be doing his military service during this time.

According to a statement from Pledis Entertainment, “Jeonghan must fulfill his military obligation in the second half of 2024. Although Jeonghan filmed most of the content he could in advance, he will not be able to participate in the promotional activities for the 12th mini album and the SEVENTEEN (RIGHT HERE) WORLD TOUR, which is scheduled to begin in October.”

As previously announced, the musician will meet fans at the fan signing and at Lollapalooza Berlin.

That’s not all. Member Jun will also be pursuing acting and other opportunities in China in the second half of the year. He will not be attending the performances at Lollapalooza Berlin and the music shows for the 12th mini album and the SEVENTEEN (RIGHT HERE) WORLD TOUR.

SEVENTEEN is a 13-member group including SCoups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The 8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino.

In addition to the release of their upcoming album and world tour, SEVENTEEN is actively involved in various initiatives and performances. On June 26, SEVENTEEN was named the first UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Youth, highlighting their commitment to empowering young people and promoting cultural exchange through their #GoingTogether campaign.

They also headlined this year’s Glastonbury Festival in the UK, becoming the first K-pop group ever to do so.
