Though the laws surrounding enlistment have changed, most idols will enter around the time they turn 29.
Recently, SEVENTEEN Jeonghan‘s enlistment plans have been a hot topic as the idol has hinted at when it will happen. Jeonghan was born in October 1995, making him currently 28 years old.
SEVENTEEN recently announced their RIGHT HERE World Tour, which will kick off on October 12 and 13 at Goyang Stadium in Korea. Shortly after, the group’s tour in the United States was announced, though many were not pleased with the number of dates.
However, this announcement led to a reveal of Jeonghan’s alleged enlistment plans.
Unfortunately, one aspect of K-pop idols’ careers is stalkers or sasaeng fans. These fans can access information about their idols’ personal lives, including their phone numbers, sometimes sold online by accounts.
