South Korean boy band SEVENTEEN is currently navigating a challenging phase as the group’s activities are being affected by South Korea’s mandatory military service system. With several members already enlisted and others preparing to begin their service, the 13-member group is gradually entering a period where full-group appearances will become less frequent. Amid this transition, another setback, Hoshi suffered a serious injury while rehearsing for a military performance.
Hoshi suffers a serious injury during his military service
Hoshi took to the fan communication platform to share the news with fans about his injury. He wrote, "I'm writing this carefully because the news many come as a surprise. I injured my knee while rehearsing with the Army performance team and underwent an examination, which found that I had completely torn my ACL."
Hoshi said he will undergo surgery and spend time recovering from the injury. As a result, he will be unable to participate in previously scheduled events with the military's taekwondo demonstration team and at the Ground Forces Festival.
