On September 8, SEVENTEEN are scheduled to perform at 2024 Lollapalooza Berlin as one of the festival’s headlining acts.
This monumental performance marks them as the first K-Pop group to perform at this event, making the occasion even more special. However, even more sentimental value has been added to this performance, all related to Jeonghan.
As a 95-liner, it was expected that Jeonghan would likely begin his mandatory military enlistment sometime this year. Fans were hopeful he would be able to participate in the remaining activities for this year, but sadly, it was announced that he would not participate in the group’s upcoming world tour and the promotions for their planned October release.

This means that the group’s Lollapalooza performance is the last time Jeonghan will travel abroad before his enlistment, something confirmed by the idol himself at the airport during their departure.

Along with the usual airport previews, fans couldn’t help but notice that the members of SEVENTEEN seemed especially affectionate with Jeonghan. Multiple members were spotted holding his hands, hugging him or just trying to be as close as possible.
