SEOUL - Jeonghan of Seventeen will begin serving his mandatory military duty on Sept 26, his agency Pledis Entertainment announced Sept 12.
He will be the first member of the 13-piece act to enlist. He will serve as an alternative social agent, as he had ankle surgery about nine months ago. He, at 29, is one of the three oldest members along with S.Coups and Joshua, but S.Coups was exempted from the duty after knee surgery and Joshua is a US citizen.
As previously notified, he will be absent from promoting the band’s 12th EP which will roll out next month. Fans will be able to see him in the music video for the main track, though, as it was filmed in advance. The idol will also miss out on Seventeen’s international tour “Right Here” which will kick off in Seoul on Oct 12 to 13.
Meanwhile, the bandmates, including Jeonghan, left for Beijing on Sept 11 for a fan sign event. THE KOREA HERALD/ ASIA NEWS NETWORK
