More about SEVENTEEN Woozi and Hoshi's military enlistment plans
A Weverse post titled ‘SEVENTEEN Hoshi, Woozi Enlistment Information Notice’ confirmed that the two idols will start their military training one day apart.
Pledis asked fans not to visit the enlistment site, as it is shared with other recruits and families. Instead, they encouraged fans to send support through Weverse.
Before their enlistment dates, both artists are set to carry out all remaining scheduled appearances, including the joint ‘HOSHI X WOOZI FAN CONCERT [WARNING]’ and a fan meet-and-greet event associated with SEVENTEEN's fifth studio release. These will be their final public engagements before entering service.
“As the last official activity before joining the military, we will perform the scheduled schedule such as the 'HOSHI X WOOZI FAN CONCERT [WARNING]' performance and the 5th full-length album Izuwi Youngtong fan signing, and after the start of service," Pledis Entertainment asserted.
Once enlisted, neither member will be involved in ongoing SEVENTEEN group promotions. However, Pledis confirmed that fans will still be able to see them through pre-recorded content prepared in advance.
With this announcement, SEVENTEEN continues its gradual enlistment process. Members Jeonghan and Wonwoo are currently serving as social service workers, while the rest of the group remains active in promotional schedules.
