SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan revealed that he had health problems during his military service. Jeonghan appeared on the YouTube channel “Channel Fifteenya,” released on the 18th. That day, producer Na Young-seok, who reunited with Jeonghan after a long time, asked, “Did you lose weight? Did you lose weight, or are you the same?” Jeonghan replied, “I’m 63 kg, so I’m almost the same,” and “Before I went in (to the military), I was about 62 kg or 63 kg too.” In response, Na Young-seok joked, “Why are you slacking off on exercise like this?” Then Jeonghan revealed, “If you hear that story, hyung will be really sad. I was really unwell during (my military service). My stomach and intestines got really bad, and I lost 13 kg because of that. I started exercising when I dropped to 53 kg,” drawing attention. Na Young-seok joked, “So that was the show-off video.” Previously, member Mingyu had revealed that Jeonghan was working out in a way that showed off, wearing a tank top. In response, Jeonghan laughed and said, “This is all Mingyu’s fault.” Jeonghan enlisted in September 2024 and completed alternative service as a social service worker, then was discharged from duty in June this year, becoming the first in the group to finish military service. • SEVENTEEN Jeonghan & Joshua stun fans with their beautiful visuals!
