We would appreciate it if you would send your messages of support to Weverse.” Since his debut, Dokyeom has captivated fans with his overwhelming vocals. In addition to the group’s activities, he has also been active in the three-member unit BSS with Seungkwan and Hoshi, and in the unit DxS with Seungkwan. This year, he successfully completed DxS’s first Japan performances and live tour. SEVENTEEN is currently in military service, with Wonwoo serving as a social service worker, and Woozi and Hoshi serving as active-duty Army soldiers.
