[INFO] Pledis Entertainment has confirmed on March 1, 2024 that after undergoing a physical examination for the military, #SCOUPS received a level 5 exemption from his mandatory military service duties. He underwent surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament last August 2023 and went on hiatus to focus on recovery. In Korea, Grades 1-4 are accepted, while Grades 5-7 are rejected in the military. If a person's physical exam result is grade 5, he is only enlisted for the wartime labor service.

In simpler terms, Level 5 Wartime Workers who are deemed unfit for the military by professionals (doctors) and approved by the officers in charge due to their physical & psychological health (with their recovery time not enough before their possible enlistment), are fully exempt from enlistment unless the country enters a state of war.
Despite S.coups's assurances and announcement of resuming idol activities this month, his military exam results conducted by professionals meant that he still isn't fit enough for serious activities, especially in military. We sincerely hope that everyone can take this seriously and not use this as a way to joke, insult and demean him, because this was a decision made for him by professionals based on his examination results in hopes of not further aggravating his health.
