SEVENTEEN's Hoshi Undergoes ACL Surgery After Military Service Injury

SEVENTEEN's Hoshi recently announced he sustained an injury during military service, specifically a complete rupture of his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) requiring surgery. This news has generated significant concern among fans, especially as he is currently serving in the military and was preparing for performances.

Hoshi shared the news himself via Weverse on September 12th, stating he injured his knee during practice for the Ground Forces Festival performance team. Medical examinations confirmed a complete ACL rupture, necessitating surgery and a long recovery period. Consequently, he will be unable to participate in the scheduled Taekwondo Demonstration Team event and the Ground Forces Festival. He expressed regret to fans and asked for support for his fellow members.

Local bloggers emphasize the importance of Hoshi's full recovery without rushing back to activities, highlighting that a complete ACL rupture requires extensive rehabilitation. They note his dedication to his team even while injured, asking fans to support the remaining performers. Fans are encouraged to send messages of support for his recovery rather than pressuring him for a quick return.
