ASTRO’s JinJin Exempt from Military Service Due to Health Issues
ASTRO’s JinJin is facing controversy after it was announced he is exempt from military service. Fantagio revealed that JinJin has an autoimmune disease, which led to his exemption from mandatory enlistment.
On June 2, ASTRO’s official account posted a statement confirming the news.
"Due to health issues related to an autoimmune disease, JinJin underwent a thorough medical examination…and was deemed unfit for military service."
While JinJin does not experience major health issues daily, he requires regular hospital check-ups and treatment.
This announcement comes as fellow member Cha Eunwoo prepares to enlist later this year, raising eyebrows among fans and netizens. Concerns arose about public reaction, especially after SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups faced significant backlash over his exemption.
Netizens are closely monitoring the situation, with many hoping JinJin avoids similar scrutiny. Born in 1996, he was expected to enlist this year.
As fans rally in support, concerns about JinJin’s health remain prevalent in discussions online.
