The group SEVENTEEN mentioned Jeonghan, who started his military service, and Jun, who could not participate in the tour due to promotions in China.
At the ‘Seventeen Right Here World Tour in Goyang’, held at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex on the 13th, they said, “I feel emotional seeing CARATs at Gocheok Sky Dome, Sangam World Cup Stadium, and Goyang Sports Complex in a row recently.”.
Member Mingyu then joked, “There were 11 of us, not 13. Even though Jeonghan and Jun couldn‘t be with us, they’re all going to return, so don‘t act like you’re gone for good”, making fans laugh.
He also said, “I hope you feel just a little bit of regret for their absence”, and promised, “We will work hard to fill their void.”
Member Jeonghan began his alternative service as a social service worker on the 26th of last month, becoming the first member of the group to fulfill his military service obligation. Jun was unable to participate in the concert due to his scheduled schedule in China.
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN, which kicked off their new world tour on the 12th and 13th, will release their 12th mini album ‘SPILL THE FEELS’ on the 14th and begin full-fledged promotions. They will also continue their tour in the US, Japan, Singapore, and Jakarta, Indonesia.
