The announcement of a favorite idol's mandatory military service often triggers an outpouring of emotion among fans. Following the official news of SEVENTEEN's DK and Vernon's imminent discharge, PLEDIS Entertainment has issued important guidelines regarding the etiquette of releasing its two artists.
This step was taken to ensure that the departure process runs safely, orderly, and does not disrupt public facilities. The announcement released by the agency on Monday (July 27, 2026) stated that Vernon will begin his military service on August 20, 2026.
Meanwhile, DK is scheduled to follow on September 8, 2026 to serve as an active soldier in the Army. Before the temporary break, both of them are confirmed to still complete all of SEVENTEEN's official schedules and activities that have been planned.
PLEDIS Entertainment issued a stern warning to fans not to visit the location of the military service ceremony or Vernon and DK's duty station. This prohibition is not without reason.
The presence of large crowds in military areas can disrupt order, violate privacy, and disrupt the comfort of other conscripts and their families attending their send-offs.
As a wise alternative, PLEDIS invited CARAT to provide full digital support. All congratulations, prayers, and sweet farewell messages can be sent through the Weverse platform.
The agency also reassured fans by assuring them that pre-recorded content, or content prepared before their military enlistment, would continue to air regularly to keep them entertained while DK and Vernon are on duty.
