On June 8, it was announced that S.Coups – member of Seventeen – would not attend Seventeen's first fan signing event. The event was created in support of their latest album 17 is Right Here.
The official announcement read: "Regarding the first fansign event for Seventeen's 17 is Right Here' scheduled for today, S.Coups' fansign is postponed due to his poor health condition. The new date and details for the postponed fansign will be sent to the winners at a later time."
S.Coups had already been declared exempt from South Korea’s mandatory military service after his knee surgery at the beginning of 2024.
Fans shouldn't be too dismayed, though.
Seventeen announced “2024 SVT 8TH FAN MEETING” and a poster for the event two weeks ago. Dubbed “SEVENTEEN in CARAT LAND,” it will be held both online and offline for their CARATs – the official fandom name for Seventeen fans. They will hold it on July 23-24, 2024 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. They will also headline Germany's “Lollapalooza Berlin” in September.
So don’t count S.Coups out just yet.
