[All] BTS and Seventeen also have key members absent due to military service

The popular group Seventeen will begin their military service, starting with member Jeonghan.

On the 12th, SEVENTEEN's agency Pledis Entertainment stated, "Jeonghan is scheduled to fulfill his military service in the second half of this year," and "Most of the content that could be prepared in advance has been filmed, but he will not be able to participate in the 12th mini album promotions scheduled for October and the 'SEVENTEEN RIGHT HERE World Tour'."

He is expected to participate in the previously announced fan signing events and 'Lollapalooza Berlin' performances without a hitch. The agency added, "Detailed information regarding military service will be announced separately at a later date."

Member Jun will also not be participating in the world tour and music show activities. Like Jeonghan, he has completed filming the content that could be prepared in advance. However, he will not be participating in the 'Lollapalooza Berlin' performance, 12th mini album music show activities, and the 'Right Here' world tour due to overlapping local filming schedules.

The agency explained, "We've decided that Jun will pursue acting and other activities in China in the second half of this year. Jun's will to participate in group activities is strong, so although he will not be able to participate in the world tour, he plans to participate as much as possible in schedules where he can meet CARATs."

HYBE posted its highest quarterly sales ever in Q2 despite BTS' absence. SEVENTEEN was responsible for HYBE's sales by taking first place in domestic artist album sales in the first half of 2024.

I don't think the absence of core members is a problem when you look at BTS. I just hope that a second Sugar incident doesn't happen. By the way, Seventeen is also a filial idol of Hive just like BTS. I support your military service. A year and a half will pass quickly, so do your best.
