Three more members of Seventeen are set to begin their mandatory military service, with Seungkwan and Dino enlisting together in an Army military band and Mingyu beginning alternative service in September. Pledis Entertainment said Monday through fan platform Weverse that Seungkwan and Dino will enlist on Oct. 26. "Seungkwan and Dino are scheduled to enlist in the Army military band on Oct. 26,"…
Seventeen, a popular K-pop group, is facing the reality of its members enlisting in the military. Seungkwan and Dino, two of the members, will join the Army military band together on October 26. The group's agency, Pledis Entertainment, confirmed the enlistment dates. In contrast, Mingyu, a third member, will commence alternative service on September 10.
South Korean law mandates military service for most able-bodied men, which can impact K-pop groups with male members. Despite the enlistments, Seventeen will continue with their regular activities until their members' service dates. Neither Seungkwan, Dino, nor Mingyu will attend any official events on the days they report for duty.
