[talk] Why was Wonwoo selected as a social service officer? A complete summary of why he will be enlisting before Hoshi and Woozi!

Many fans have questions about why Wonwoo of SEVENTEEN will be serving his military service before other members of the same age as Hoshi and Woozi. Why will Wonwoo serve his military service first? We will also explain in detail the background of his alternative service as a social service worker. In this article, we will tell you about Wonwoo's military service start date, his eyesight problems, and the details of his alternative service.

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

SEVENTEEN's agency PLEDIS officially announced on March 5, 2025 that Wonwoo will begin his military service on April 3, 2025. Wonwoo will begin his alternative service, which means he will not be able to participate in the Japanese fan meetings and "Tecate Pal Norte 2025" festival scheduled for April.

However, Wonwoo announced that he will be participating in the Caret Land concerts on March 20-21 as scheduled. He also asked that no official events be held on the day he enters the training camp, and that people refrain from visiting his alternative service workplace. Wonwoo asked fans to send him messages of support through Weverse, and said that he plans to continue communicating with his fans even during his military service.

2. Why was Wonwoo selected as a community service officer?

Wonwoo's choice of social service will involve mainly clerical work at a public institution, rather than military service. There are several reasons for this choice, but the main one is that Wonwoo is unable to perform military service due to health reasons. The alternative service will involve mainly clerical work at a public institution, excluding combat training in the military.

Why did Wonwoo choose alternative service?

It is believed that Wonwoo had no choice but to serve as a community service officer instead of military service due to his eyesight problems. Wonwoo's eyesight was not merely myopic, but was reportedly extremely poor, with a vision level of -9.00D or higher. With such poor eyesight, it is believed that it would have been difficult for him to pass the physical examination required for military service, forcing him to choose alternative service.

The reason why Wonwoo chose to serve in the military is because his eyesight is not suitable for military service. In the alternative service, he will not receive combat training but will instead perform clerical work at a public institution.

3. Military service order: Why Wonwoo will serve before Hoshi and Woozi

In Korea, military service is generally conducted in order of age, but not everyone enlists at the same time. The timing of military service varies depending on various factors such as health, family environment, and military waiting status, so it can be said that the reason Wonwoo enlisted before Hoshi and Woozi was determined by these factors.

The reason why Wonwoo will be enlisting first is not due to age, but rather due to his eyesight problems and health condition. Also, since military service is not always available at the time of one's choice, it is believed that Wonwoo decided to enlist early.

4. Communication with fans: Wonwoo's promise before military service

Before starting his mandatory military service, Wonwoo promised to continue communicating with his fans. He will attend the Caret Land concert as scheduled, and will continue to interact with his fans through various content afterwards. Wonwoo said that there will be no official events on the day he enters the training camp, and asked for fans' understanding on that day.

Wonwoo also said that he will be able to receive messages of support from his fans through Weverse so that he will stay connected with them even during his military service.

5. Wonwoo's expected return date and future plans

Wonwoo is expected to return in good health after completing his military service. Fans are eagerly awaiting Wonwoo's return and hope he will come back healthy and strong. Wonwoo's return will be a big moment for SEVENTEEN fans.

The reason why Wonwoo will be fulfilling his military service before Hoshi and Woozi is not based on age, but rather on the result of a number of factors. Wonwoo's eyesight issues are a major factor, and he will be fulfilling his military service as a community service worker. Fans will continue to support Wonwoo regarding his alternative service and return plans.
