The group Seventeen's leader, S.Coups, who had halted activities due to a cruciate ligament tear, has been exempted from military service.
According to a report by Xsports News on the 1st, S.Coups recently received a military exemption after undergoing a physical examination, thus avoiding mandatory military enlistment.
S.Coups underwent surgery and treatment for a knee injury in August last year. At that time, his agency, Pledis Entertainment, announced that S.Coups had injured his left knee while filming Seventeen content and was diagnosed with a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee.
Subsequently, S.Coups suspended all activities, including the promotion of the new song "God of Music" and also missed out on the Japan tour schedule. He was unable to participate in the tvN show "Nana Tour" featuring Seventeen. It is reported that S.Coups received a military exemption due to this injury.
Having completed his treatment, S.Coups is soon expected to resume activities. On the 23rd of last month, the agency stated, "As a result of consistent treatment and sufficient rest, the injured area has somewhat improved," adding, "We have received medical advice that he can handle the scheduled activities without putting too much strain on his body."
Seventeen is gearing up for a comeback in April, with S.Coups confirmed to participate in the comeback activities. Furthermore, ahead of their comeback, Seventeen will hold a concert at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on the 30th and 31st of this month. S.Coups is scheduled to meet fans at the concert before his comeback activities in April.
Meanwhile, S.Coups, born in 1995, made his debut in the music industry as a member of Seventeen in 2015.

-Can he even dance in the future?
-Even our brother got exempt for that. He finds it a bit difficult to run but walking is totally fine. Recovery might vary, but a cruciate ligament tear always results in exemption.
-If running is difficult, how can he dance...? I'm worried for him.
-I'm a baseball fan, and there are baseball players who got military exemptions due to cruciate ligament tears. They can't run fast.
-It's sad because it must be painfulㅠㅠ But it's good that he doesn't have to go...
-Seems like he suffered a lot... Idols dance a lot so they should be more careful.
-No wonder he hasn't been active for quite a while...
-With the decreasing population, there are fewer people enlisting in the military nowadays, so even if you're injured, if it's not to the extent where you can't move at all, you're still going to have to enlist. If he's exempted, it means he got injured severely enough that running would be difficult.
-Wow, a cruciate ligament tear... Wishing him a speedy recovery.
-Cruciate ligament tear is a serious injury.
-If he's exempted, it must be serious.
-Isn't that the one he got from filming? Wow, seems like he got seriously injured.
-Even people with cruciate ligament tear these days are still supposed to go active duty, how severe must it have been to get exempted... Can he continue his activities...??
-It's hard to get exemptions these days... His injury must be really serious.
-He can do daily activities completely fine, outwardly you can't tell where he got injured (dancing is a separate issue, recovery is possible). But definitely, a cruciate ligament tear = exemption.
-If he does rehabilitation well, he should be able to dance... Our team's player also got exempted due to a cruciate ligament tear, but he still defends, runs, and everything...! If you've recovered well!!!
-They don't give out exemptions easily these days, right...?
-He might still be able to dance. Even athletes have surgeries for cruciate ligament tear and still play in games...
