 SEVENTEEN's Jeonghan and Jun to Temporarily Pause Group Activities for Military Service and Chinese Projects



Pledis Entertainment, the agency representing SEVENTEEN, announced on the 13th that members Jeonghan and Jun will be temporarily stepping back from some group activities in the second half of 2024.

Jeonghan is set to fulfill his mandatory military service later this year. According to Pledis, "Jeonghan is scheduled to begin his military duty in the second half of the year." While most of his pre-prepared content has already been filmed, Jeonghan will not be able to participate in SEVENTEEN's upcoming 12th mini album promotions or the 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR,' which is scheduled to begin in October under the title "Light Here."

However, Jeonghan will still participate in previously announced fan signings and SEVENTEEN's performance at 'Lollapalooza Berlin' without any issues.



Meanwhile, Jun will be absent from some group activities due to his commitments in China. Pledis shared that Jun will be focusing on acting and other projects in China during this period. While most content that could be prepared in advance has been filmed, his local filming schedule conflicts with SEVENTEEN's activities, including the 'Lollapalooza Berlin' performance, 12th mini album promotions, and the world tour.

Pledis emphasized Jun's strong desire to participate in group activities, stating, "Although Jun will not be part of the world tour, he will do his best to join as many schedules as possible to connect with CARATs (SEVENTEEN's fan club)."





Official Statement from Pledis Entertainment:



Hello, this is Pledis Entertainment.

We would like to inform you about SEVENTEEN members Jeonghan and Jun's activities in the second half of 2024.

Jeonghan will be fulfilling his mandatory military service later this year. While most of his pre-prepared content has been completed, he will be unable to participate in the 12th mini album promotions and the 'SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR' due to overlapping commitments.

Jun will be focusing on his activities in China, including acting. Although he will not join the world tour, Jun remains committed to participating in as many group schedules as possible to engage with CARATs.

We ask for your understanding and continued support for Jeonghan’s military service and Jun’s activities. Please look forward to SEVENTEEN’s various endeavors in the second half of the year.

Thank you.
