In addition, Seungkwan and Dino each held live broadcasts on the fan community platform Weverse and greeted fans. In August, their agency Pledis Entertainment announced the enlistment dates of Mingyu, Seungkwan, and Dino. Regarding Seungkwan and Dino, it revealed, “They will enlist in the Army as military band soldiers on October 26.” It also said, “Because the training center entrance ceremony on the day of enlistment is a place where many soldiers and family members will attend, we ask that you refrain from visiting the site. After they begin service, they will not be able to participate in SEVENTEEN activities, but they plan to continue meeting CARAT (SEVENTEEN’s fans) through various contents prepared in advance.” The two have so far carried out not only group activities, but also unit and solo activities. This year, Seungkwan released the 1st mini album “Serenade” as the unit DxS with Dokyeom. In addition to holding solo concerts in various Asian countries including Japan, he also excelled individually on variety shows. Dino made headlines by making an unusual debut as the sub-character Picheolin. He also held his first solo performance since debut.
