The music label wrote, “We wish to share the news of Jeonghan's upcoming enlistment in the military, scheduled for September 26, 2024. As announced before, he will not be able to participate in the promotional activities for SEVENTEEN's 12th mini album and the world tour. However, he will appear in various pre-recorded content.”
They added, “There will be no official event on the day of his enlistment, and we kindly request that you refrain from visiting the site of his military service. Please send your heartfelt messages of support for Jeonghan through Weverse.”
Requesting fans, the agency concluded, “We ask for your continued love and support for the artist. Kindly send your best wishes for his safe and healthy return. We will also remain committed to providing Jeonghan with all the necessary support during this time.”
