"Woozi and I have received our military enlistment schedules. We’re planning to enlist in the second half of the year, so we’ll be able to spend the 10th anniversary together and make some fun memories before we go. I’ve never said this before, but I’m really grateful to S.Coups for keeping all 13 of us together since we were young."
He continued:
"Maybe because it’s time to enlist, every performance feels even more precious. It’s not like we’re disappearing—we’ll continue to work hard even after we return. People say nothing lasts forever, but SEVENTEEN is going to take on that challenge. We’ll need your support to do it."
