SEVENTEEN Jeonghan recently surprised fans by confessing that he faced unexpected health struggles during his military service, which led to a dramatic weight loss.

The Shocking 13kg Weight Loss and Recovery
During the episode, PD Na Young-seok asked Jeonghan if he had lost weight. Jeonghan explained that although he usually maintained around 63kg (about 139 lbs) before enlisting, his health took a sharp turn for the worse. SEVENTEEN Jeonghan shared, ‘My stomach and intestines became so bad during my service that I dropped 13kg down to 53kg (approx. 117 lbs), and that is when I started working out.’ Reacting to the revelation, PD Na joked about how hard the idol had been hitting the gym, while Jeonghan laughed it off and playfully blamed fellow SEVENTEEN member Mingyu for teasing him about his workout routines.
Return to Activities in South Korea
Jeonghan enlisted in September of last year to fulfill his alternative military service in South Korea. He was officially discharged this past June, making him the very first member of the group to complete his mandatory military duties. According to OSEN DB reports, fans have been flooding social media with support as the star opens up about his health journey and recovery.
