[talk] [2025 Latest] Is it true that Woozi's military service has been postponed? What are the challenges facing SEVENTEEN's military service?

We've got a detailed breakdown of how SEVENTEEN's Woozi will be involved in his military service! We've detailed his enlistment date, the possibility of a postponement, and other important information that fans need to know.

1. Uzi's military service

Woozi plays a very important role in the group as a member of the vocal team of SEVENTEEN. Born on November 22, 1996, Woozi is scheduled to enlist in the military in 2024 in accordance with South Korea's military service law. However, since Woozi is enrolled in graduate school at Anyang University, he is in a position to postpone his military service.

South Korea's military service law allows university and graduate students to postpone enlistment until age 30, so it is highly likely that Woozi will take advantage of this provision and postpone his enlistment. He is currently studying at Anyang University's graduate school alongside fellow SEVENTEEN members Jeonghan and S.Coups, which is affecting his decision to postpone his military service.

There has been no official announcement yet regarding Woozi's postponement of his military service, but as he will likely prioritize his studies, his enlistment may be delayed until at least 2026. As fans, it is important to keep an eye on his pre-enlistment activities so we can enjoy what he has to offer before he fully begins his military service.

2. Basics of SEVENTEEN's military service obligations

South Korea has a compulsory military service system, and all males who turn 19 are required to take a conscription examination and, if they have no health or physical problems, to serve in the military by the age of 28. The minimum period of military service is 18 months and the maximum is about two years, and those who do not serve are subject to various legal sanctions.

Among the members of SEVENTEEN, those who have Korean nationality are required to serve in the military. Therefore, Korean members, including Woozi, must legally fulfill their military service. However, there are some circumstances where military service can be postponed or exempted. For example, deferrals and exemptions are possible if you are continuing your studies as a graduate student or if you are unable to serve in the military for mental or physical reasons.

The Korean government may also grant military service deferrals to individuals who have made contributions to promoting Korea internationally through cultural activities. Recently, groups like BTS have received military service deferrals due to their international music activities.

3. Possibility of deferring Uzi's military service

The reason why Woozi may be able to postpone his military service is due to the graduate school he is currently attending. In South Korea, graduate students can postpone military service until they are 30 years old, so Woozi is in a position to take advantage of this system.

Woozi is particularly talented as a vocal member of SEVENTEEN, and his activities are very important to the group. If Woozi's military service is delayed, it will have less impact on the group's music activities, concerts, and album productions, and fans will be able to enjoy Woozi's performances for as long as possible.

The specific length of his military service deferral may change depending on SEVENTEEN's future activities, but if Woozi postpones for academic reasons, he will likely not enlist until at least 2026. Therefore, before a decision is made on Woozi's military service deferral, it is important to keep an eye on his current activities and SEVENTEEN's projects.

4. Military service with members other than Woozi

Some members of SEVENTEEN have been exempted from military service, while others may have their service postponed. First of all, the members who have been exempted from military service are Joshua, Jun, and THE8. They have foreign nationality (Joshua is American, Jun and THE8 are Chinese), and therefore are not subject to the Korean military service law.

In addition, S.Coups was exempt from military service due to a knee injury, and like Jeonghan and Woozi, he is enrolled in graduate school, so he may be subject to postponement. With Woozi's postponement of military service, attention is focused on the military service circumstances of the other members, but it is expected that they will basically enlist in order of their dates of birth.

5. How military service will affect SEVENTEEN’s activities

As SEVENTEEN is a large group of 13 members, it is expected that the group's activities will be significantly affected if any of the members enlist in the military. If the members are absent for a long period of time due to military service, the group's activities may be temporarily restricted. However, as each member of SEVENTEEN is highly talented, it is possible that the group's activities as a whole will continue through unit activities within the group and solo activities.

In addition, during their military hiatus, SEVENTEEN has been able to deepen their interactions with fans through social media, and an even greater response is expected when they return after completing their military service. In order to minimize the impact of their military service, SEVENTEEN is expected to plan activities as a group while continuing their individual activities.

6. Summary

As for Woozi's military service, it is likely to be postponed as he is enrolled in graduate school, but the timing is uncertain until an official announcement is made. We will be able to fully enjoy our activities as a group before Woozi begins his military service. While some of the impacts of military service are unavoidable, SEVENTEEN members continue to make important contributions to the group through their individual activities.

While we wait for an official announcement regarding Woozi's military service deferral, let's keep an eye on his future activities and look forward to the day when the full SEVENTEEN reappears.
