SEVENTEEN’s Vernon will fulfill his duty of national defense starting today (the 20th). On the 19th, Vernon held a live broadcast through Weverse. He greeted fans ahead of enlistment, saying, “I wanted to say, ‘I’m off.’ That is why I turned on a live stream for just a little while.” In May of this year, Vernon announced the formation of the new unit “V8” with The8. Through various music streaming sites, they released their first mini album, “V8,” and showed a new side of themselves. This mini album is an album that weaves together the wandering and confusion experienced in the time that has passed, and the moments of recovery and growth found within that, with the weighty theme of “worn-out youth.” It contains a total of eight songs, including the title track “singasong.” SEVENTEEN is currently in military service with Wonwoo serving as a social service worker, and Woozi and Hoshi serving as active-duty Army soldiers. ・SEVENTEEN Vernon to enlist today (8/20)...
