Hello.
This is PLEDIS Entertainment.
We would like to share the news that WONWOO of SEVENTEEN will be starting his mandatory military service from April 3 this year. As such, he will not be able to attend any of SEVENTEEN’s engagements after his enlistment, including the upcoming Tecate Pa'l Norte 2025 festival and Japan fanmeeting in April. As announced before, WONWOO will be participating in the “SEVENTEEN in CARAT LAND” concert as scheduled from March 20 to 21 and will be appearing in various pre-recorded content.
There will be no official event on the day of his enlistment, and we kindly request that you refrain from visiting the site of his alternative military service. Please send your heartfelt messages of support for WONWOO through Weverse.
We ask for your continued love and support for the artist until his safe and healthy return. We will also stay committed to providing WONWOO with all the necessary support during this time.
Thank you.

Tariffs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIhO4AJ1ZBY
High tariffs are historically accompanied by extreme wealth gains for the capitalist class
High tariffs may promote the rebirth of domestic manufacturing, but those job/salary gains are offset by an increase in consumer prices
Tariffs artificially inflate the prices of foreign products, and reduce competition for domestic producers, allowing them to jack up prices in turn
Conversely, free trade (ex. NAFTA), destroys domestic manufacturing and enables American companies to offshore manufacturing and pay foreign workers a fraction of what they would have to pay American workers, increasing corporate profits
If Trump was serious about promoting American industry and helping the working class, he would use our tax dollars to fund factory-building, but instead, he wants to cut taxes for the 1%
Trumps wants to use tariffs to fund the gov’t so he can eliminate the progressive income tax
