The situation
Ji Yunseo, formerly of EVNNE, has announced his military enlistment on September 14th, following his departure from the group. This move comes after Jellyfish Entertainment's decision to restructure EVNNE into a five-member group, with Ji Yunseo and Yoo Seungeon leaving to return to YUEHUA Entertainment. Ji Yunseo's final performance with EVNNE was at the "OUR EVNNEing" fan meeting in Seoul.
What the internet did with it

- Ji Yunseo's heartfelt letter to fans, posted in multiple languages, has been well-received, with many praising his sincerity and gratitude towards his supporters.
- The news of Ji Yunseo's enlistment has also sparked discussions about the future of YUEHUA Entertainment's plans for him and Yoo Seungeon, with some speculating about potential solo activities or new group debuts.
The open question
The exact nature of Ji Yunseo's activities after his military service remains unclear, leaving fans wondering what his next steps will be and whether he will pursue a solo career or join a new group.
