"Hello. This is PLEDIS Entertainment.
We would like to inform you about the activities of SEVENTEEN members Jeonghan and Jun for the second half of 2024.
Jeonghan will fulfill his military service in the second half and has filmed most of the content he could in advance. He will not be able to participate in the promotional activities for the 12th mini album and the SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR in October.
Jeonghan would still be able to greet CARATs at the fan signing event and Lollapalooza Berlin. We will reveal more details about Jeonghan's military service in a separate notice.
After in-depth discussions with Jun and other SEVENTEEN members, it was decided that Jun would pursue acting and other opportunities in China during the second half of the year. Like Jeonghan, June has also filmed content in advance.
However, he will not be able to attend the Lollapalooza Berlin, music show performances for the 12th mini album, and world tour due to an overlap with an on-site filming schedule. Jun has also expressed his determination to join other SEVENTEEN activities to interact with CARATs.
We kindly ask for your support for Jeonghan's military service and Jun's forthcoming projects. Please continue to love SEVENTEEN and anticipate their activities this year.
Thank you."
