Furthermore, he said, 'I also shaved my head, so it feels a bit real. Now my heart is more at ease. So everyone, please don't worry. I will really do my best. I have done my utmost to ensure CARATs (the name of the fans) are not bored. I have prepared diligently, so I hope you enjoy the content that will be released during my military service.' He mentioned, 'I filmed passionately. While I am in the army, if I receive my unit assignment, I think I will be able to check in while living my military life.' In particular, he shared, 'I have already finished filming and am spending time with my family. To share a bit of TMI (Too Much Information), there is originally a 5-week training for active duty. Jihoon and I will actually have 7 weeks due to the overlap with the Chuseok holiday. I will receive solid training for 7 weeks. Please stay healthy.' He then revealed his shaved head and saluted fans. Finally, he said, 'Well then, I will go tomorrow. Actually, one of the songs I worked hard on will be released at 6 PM tomorrow. It's called 'TAKE A SHOT,' and maybe the teasing image will be released tonight. Actually, I filmed a video for that song, but it seems we can make it a better video with the staff, so the audio will be released first tomorrow, and the video will be released later after securing more editing time.' He explained the new song that will be released on the day of his enlistment, adding to the anticipation, 'I worked happily with my younger members. By the way, I should mention that the song is all rap. It's a different style from what I've done so far. Please listen to it tomorrow. It's a song that expresses me.' Hoshi will enlist today to serve in the army and undergo basic military training. He is the fourth member of SEVENTEEN to enlist. Jeonghan and Wonwoo are currently fulfilling their military duties, and the day before, Woozi enlisted in active duty.
