Lovelyz plan to take part in a 2017 calendar photo shoot that will be used in the living quarters of the ROK Army bases, host a talk show with the soldiers who successfully quit smoking, act as personal counselors to the soldiers enlisted at a Nonsan training facility, and visit the unit with the highest number of soldiers that quit smoking at the end of the year to put on a congratulatory performance.
