Their agency, YH Entertainment, announced in a statement on the 20th, “After careful and lengthy discussions with the members, we have decided to suspend group activities and focus on each member’s individual activities going forward.”
Accordingly, Hyuk will enlist on the 26th to fulfill his mandatory military service. No separate official event will be held on the day of his enlistment. The agency asked fans to refrain from visiting the site out of consideration for other recruits and their families.

Hanbin, Hyungsub, Eunchan, and Taerae will focus on individual activities for the time being. The agency plans to continue providing the necessary support so that they can showcase new sides of themselves in their respective fields.
YH Entertainment stated, “We will never forget the time we spent together as TEMPEST or the precious love our fans have shown us,” adding, “We sincerely apologize for causing concern with this sudden news.”
TEMPEST is a boy group that debuted in March 2022. They have promoted with songs such as “Bad News,” “Dragon,” and “Vroom Vroom.”
