SEVENTEEN members Vernon and DK are set to enlist in the military one after another.

On the 27th, SEVENTEEN's agency Pledis Entertainment announced the enlistment schedules for Vernon and DK. "DK will enlist as an active-duty soldier on September 8. Until his enlistment, he will participate without any issues in all scheduled official events. As the training camp induction ceremony on the day of enlistment will be attended by many soldiers and their families, we kindly request that you refrain from visiting the site," it stated. Regarding Vernon, "He will begin fulfilling his military obligations starting August 20 and, similarly, will participate without any issues in all scheduled official events until his enlistment. We also ask that you refrain from visiting the training camp induction ceremony site or his alternative service workplace."

The agency added, "Both members will be unable to participate in SEVENTEEN's activities after beginning their service, but they plan to continue meeting Carats (SEVENTEEN's official fandom name) through various pre-prepared content. We ask for your continued love and support so that DK and Vernon can faithfully fulfill their military obligations and return in even better health."

Previously, ahead of their enlistment, Vernon and DK signed a second full contract renewal with Pledis Entertainment alongside the other SEVENTEEN members.

With this, SEVENTEEN will have its fifth and sixth members enlisting, following Hoshi and Woozi who enlisted as active-duty soldiers earlier, Wonwoo currently serving in alternative service, and Jeonghan who was discharged from military duty in June. Hoshi and Woozi are scheduled to enlist with just a one-day difference in September 2025 and will be discharged in March 2027. Wonwoo is set to enlist in April 2025 and be discharged from military duty in January 2027.
