NCT’s Jaehyun took the time to share his new haircut and bid farewell to his fans before he officially enlisted in the South Korean military on November 4.
On his Instagram account, the singer gave his fans a glimpse of his new look as he shared several photos of his buzz cut for military training, with one picture being a selfie at the salon as he was getting his hair trimmed.
Jaehyun also snapped a picture of his snipped locks after he arranged them to spell out the word “enlistment” on the salon floor.
“Remembering the memories we shared, looking forward to the journey together,” he wrote in the caption.
NCT’s official account on X also posted a sweet picture of Jaehyun as his fellow members Johnny, Taeyong, Doyoung, Ten, and Jungwoo with their hands placed on top of his buzz cut in a playful way to send him off to the military.
This was even made more special by Taeyong’s appearance, as he showed his support for Jaehyun despite being enlisted in the military himself since April.
Following his post, many of Jaehyun’s fans took to social media to bid him farewell for now and shower him with all the luck and support.
“Stay healthy, happy, and take care of your mental and [emotional health]. I’ll always remember the idol who kept me strong when I [was] very unwell,” one user commented.
Another wrote, “Happy military service, my dear. Stay healthy there.”
Jaehyun debuted as a member of NCT in 2016 and has been part of the sub-unit NCT 127 since then. As of 2024, he has released five solo singles: Forever Only and Horizon for the NCT Lab project, and Roses, Dandelion, and Smoke for his debut album J.
NCT 127 is the second sub-unit of NCT that debuted in July 2016. It consists of members Mark, Haechan, Taeil, Taeyong, Johnny, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, and Jungwoo. Some of their hit tracks are Fact Check, Kick It, and Cherry Bomb.
