Jun's pursuit of acting in China was discussed with the other members of Seventeen and like Jeonghan, he filmed content in advance but he won't join the world tour, Lollapalooza Berlin, or performances for the upcoming mini album.
Despite this, Jun will try his best to participate in other Seventeen group activities and fan events.
"We ask for your kind understanding and support for Jeonghan's healthy completion of his military service and Jun's upcoming projects," the label's statement ended. "Please continue to show your love for Seventeen and stay tuned for Seventeen's upcoming activities this year."
Seventeen last visited the Philippines earlier this January for its "Follow" world tour, performing two nights in Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan.
A concert film for the tour, shot from multiple angles with unforgettable moments, will hit cinemas on August 21.
