Jeonghan’s Enlistment Day: A Heartfelt Farewell

On September 26, 2024, SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan started to fulfill his national defense duty as part of South Korea’s mandatory military service. According to South Korean news outlets, Jeonghan will receive basic military training but will be fulfilling his duty as a social worker.

Oh, how time flies! We began by counting the days until his enlistment, and now we find ourselves waiting for his discharge. It all feels like a fever dream.

CARATS’ “Chonsa” penned his heartfelt farewell message on Weverse on September 25th expressing his love and gratitude for his fans. He reassured fans that he would support his members from afar and urged them to stay healthy until his return.

Jeonghan is the first SEVENTEEN member to enlist in the military as their general leader, SCoups, was exempted from military service due to his ACL injury. As a result, Jeonghan will miss the group’s upcoming world tour and the promotions for their 12th Mini Album, ‘Spill the Feels.’

This isn’t goodbye; it’s just a 'see you soon.’ We will be waiting for your return, Jeonghannie! Please be healthy and happy.
