SEVENTEEN’s lineup is slowly shifting as more members prepare to fulfil their military duties. On July 8, PLEDIS Entertainment made it official: fan favourites Hoshi and Woozi will be enlisting for their mandatory service in September 2025. The announcement came via Weverse, leaving fans emotional but full of support.

According to the statement, Woozi will begin his active duty service on September 15, with Hoshi following on September 16. The agency noted that both idols will not participate in group promotions during their enlistment period but assured CARATs that there is plenty of pre-recorded content lined up to keep fans engaged in their absence.

Final Fan Activities Before Enlistment

Before heading off for their service, Hoshi and Woozi will participate in two key fan events. They will appear in the ‘HOSHI X WOOZI FAN CONCERT [WARNING]’ and will also join SEVENTEEN’s 5th studio album 'Yizhiyu' video call fan signing. These events will be their final official schedules before enlistment.

The agency also noted that although Hoshi and Woozi won’t be part of SEVENTEEN’s active line-up during their service, pre-recorded content will be shared over time to maintain a connection with fans, collectively known as CARATs.

Part of SEVENTEEN’s Growing Military Line-Up

Hoshi and Woozi are the third and fourth members of SEVENTEEN to enlist, following Jeonghan, who began his service on 26 September 2024, and Wonwoo, who enlisted earlier this year on 3 April 2025.

As more members begin military service, PLEDIS Entertainment is managing the group's promotional schedules to ensure a smooth transition while keeping the group's presence alive in the K-pop scene.

As soon as the news broke, social media platforms lit up with heartfelt reactions from CARATs. Fans expressed their admiration for Hoshi and Woozi’s decision and left thousands of messages wishing them well during their military journey. 

Despite the temporary pause in activities, fans remain supportive and hopeful.
