[talk] [2025 Latest] Why did Wonwoo become a community service officer? A complete summary including photos of him enlisting at the training camp!

SEVENTEEN's Wonwoo will begin his military service as a social service worker on April 3, 2025. We will explain in detail why he chose alternative service due to eyesight problems, the background behind his enlistment before Hoshi and Woozi, Wonwoo's feelings, and his future return.

1. Wonwoo's military service start date: April 3, 2025

SEVENTEEN's Wonwoo will begin his military service on April 3, 2025. This date was officially announced by his agency Pledis Entertainment, making Wonwoo the second member of the group to begin his military service. Wonwoo sent a message to fans saying, "I'm off to the military in high spirits," and shared his thoughts about his upcoming military service.

The agency also announced that there will be no official or fan events on the day he enters the training center. Fans have also been asked to refrain from visiting his alternative service location. As a result, it is hoped that fans will be understanding and respectful of Wonwoo's privacy on the day he begins his military service.

2. Why Wonwoo was selected as a social service worker

Wonwoo's choice to serve as a social service officer is different from the typical military service in that he will mainly be in charge of clerical work at a public institution. The reason why Wonwoo chose to serve as a social service officer is largely due to his health problems.

It has been confirmed that Wonwoo has very poor eyesight and is unable to pass the physical examination required for military service. His eyesight is over -9.00D, which goes beyond simple myopia, and his visual problems have made it difficult for him to serve in the military. As a result, Wonwoo has no choice but to opt for alternative service.

"The alternative service will involve no combat training and will mainly involve performing administrative tasks for a public institution. It was determined that serving in this manner would be best for Wonwoo's health. His eyesight issues have been known to SEVENTEEN fans for many years, so there's no doubt this choice is understandable."

3. Why did he enlist in the military before Hoshi and Woozi?

Although SEVENTEEN members generally fulfill their military service obligations in order of age, Wonwoo will begin his military service before Hoshi and Woozi. This is not just a matter of age, but also due to his health and other factors.

The biggest reason why Wonwoo will be enlisting first is due to his eyesight. In Korea, military service is usually conducted in order of age, but the timing of enlistment can vary depending on eyesight and health conditions. Wonwoo has chosen to begin his military service earlier than the other members.

In addition, military service obligations are subject to many unpredictable factors, and it is not always possible to enlist at a time of one's choice. Therefore, it is believed that Wonwoo decided to enlist early and fulfill his military service. This will mean that he will start his service before other members of the same age, such as Hoshi and Woozi.

4. Wonwoo's thoughts before military service and his promise to fans

Wonwoo spoke to fans about his feelings about his upcoming military service at the "SEVENTEEN 9TH FAN MEETING" event held in Korea in March 2025. He expressed a positive attitude toward the start of his military service, telling fans, "I'm happy that I'll be able to make good memories. I'll be going well."

Wonwoo also stated that he values ​​communication with his fans and has promised to continue connecting with them even after he enters the training camp. He plans to make it possible for fans to send him messages of support through Weverse and other platforms, and to try to keep in touch with him even during his military service.

Wonwoo informed fans that he will not be holding any official events on the day he enters the training center, and asked for their understanding. His consideration and dedication to his fans has surely touched the hearts of many fans.

5. Wonwoo's expected return date and future plans

Wonwoo's military service is expected to last for about two years, but his return will be a moment many fans are looking forward to. Fans are hoping that after he completes his military service, he will return to the group in good health and work with SEVENTEEN again.

Wonwoo is looking forward to seeing his fans again after his military service, and it's hard to imagine how special his return will be. After that, he is expected to move on to a new stage as a solo artist as well as continue his activities with SEVENTEEN. Fans are praying for Wonwoo's health and looking forward to seeing him return stronger and more grown up.

With these details, you can gain a deeper understanding of Wonwoo's military service, including the reason why he will be serving first, the background of his alternative service, and his outlook after his return. We hope that Wonwoo will treasure his bond with his fans during his military service and look forward to seeing his success after his return.
