97 Line & 2000s Dynamics
The “97 line” (DK, Mingyu, The8) and surrounding members form a strong middle core that balances the group’s energy. With several 1995–1996 members either serving or recently active, the 1997–1999 members are stepping up significantly in performances and leadership. Dino, as the sole 1999 maknae, has transitioned from “baby” to a respected performer.
Post-enlistment shifts in 2026: Jeonghan’s discharge in June will mark the beginning of the reunion era. The group is expected to gradually regain full strength through 2027, with careful planning around remaining enlistments. This period highlights SEVENTEEN’s maturity and ability to maintain success even with staggered military service.
