SEVENTEEN's military relay begins: 5 enlistment dates confirmed from June through October

SEVENTEEN is entering its full group military hiatus. Five enlistment dates are now locked in across the second half of the year.

Vernon starts the relay on June 20, beginning alternative military service. September brings two more: Dohyuk enlists in Army active duty on the 8th, and Mingyu starts alternative service on the 10th. Seungkwan and Dino close out the wave together on October 26, both enlisting as Army military musicians.

Wonwoo, Hoshi, and Woozi are already serving. Jeonghan has completed his service obligations. S.Coups received a medical exemption due to injury. Joshua, Jun, and DK are foreign members and face no Korean military service requirements. Once the relay wraps, the group has a clear path back to full lineup.

The group completed a full early contract renewal ahead of the hiatus period. This sets up what the source frames as a second chapter for the complete lineup.

Before their respective enlistment dates, members are staying active. Seungkwan is keeping a broadcast-heavy schedule with appearances on popular entertainment programs. Dino is focused on releasing his mini album 吉BOARD under the Pichelin concept, alongside a popup store project. Mingyu, currently serving as a global fashion brand ambassador, is wrapping up Paris Haute Couture attendance and overseas fashion week schedules along with photo shoot commitments. Dohyuk and Vernon are handling personal affairs and filming self-produced content to carry fans through the hiatus.

Nine Korean members with service obligations. Five dates confirmed. The math on when SEVENTEEN reassembles in full is already being done.
