As of March 1, SEVENTEEN's leader S.Coups has been granted exemption from mandatory military service duties.

The exemption is attributed to recent injuries that S.Coups sustained, particularly a cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee that occurred in August 2023 during a filming schedule.

The injury required surgery and extensive treatment, leading to a pause in his promotional activities.

Pledis Entertainment announced on February 23 that S.Coups has significantly improved and will resume schedules that do not involve excessive physical activity starting in March.

SEVENTEEN is also gearing up for a comeback with a new album scheduled for release in April.
