There will be no official event on the day he begins his service. The agency requested, "Please refrain from visiting the alternative service workplace," and added, "We ask for your continued love and support so that Joo Chang-wook can fulfill his duty diligently and return in good health."

Joo Chang-wook debuted as a member of DRIPPIN in October 2020. Originally a seven-member group, DRIPPIN was restructured into a six-member group in 2023 following the departure of the youngest member, Alex. The group has continued their musical activities, releasing their fifth single 'Weekend' in 2024. In March of last year, leader Hwang Yoon-seong enlisted for active duty in the army.
