SEVENTEEN Military Service: Current Member Count and Enlistment Status

SEVENTEEN's military enlistment process is actively underway, leading to significant fan and public interest in the group's current active lineup and future activities. Recent enlistments of members like Dokyeom and Mingyu, alongside upcoming ones for Seungkwan and Dino, are key topics of discussion. There's also recent news about legal actions against concert ticket scalpers, which some initially misunderstood as directly affecting the members.

As of September 13, 2026, six SEVENTEEN members are fulfilling their military duties: Wonwoo, Woozi, Hoshi, Vernon, Dokyeom, and Mingyu. Vernon began alternative service on August 20, 2026, Dokyeom enlisted as an active-duty soldier on September 8, 2026, and Mingyu followed on September 10, 2026. Jeonghan completed his alternative service on June 25, 2026. Not all 13 members are subject to Korean military service; Joshua, Jun, and The8 are foreign nationals, and S.Coups received a Grade 5 wartime labor service classification due to a knee injury. Seungkwan and Dino are anticipated to enlist together as military band members on October 26, 2026. Separately, legal proceedings against some professional scalpers of SEVENTEEN concert tickets resulted in combined forfeiture orders exceeding 1 billion won, not a fine imposed on the group or agency. This follows an earlier investigation into scalpers who allegedly profited around 7 billion won.

Local bloggers clarify that the idea of all 13 members sequentially enlisting is inaccurate, given the status of foreign members and S.Coups' exemption. Pledis Entertainment plans to release pre-recorded content to maintain fan engagement during members' service, a strategy previously employed. Fans are keenly following updates on individual enlistment schedules and the eventual return of the full group, while also being advised not to confuse legal actions against scalpers with issues concerning the members themselves.
