Kim Min-gue enlists in the military, shows off his new buzz cut

Business Proposal star Kim Min-gue stunned social media users with his new military buzz cut ahead of his military service as an active soldier. 

The 29-year-old Korean star shared some snaps on his Instagram, saluting and rocking his new haircut. 

"I'll be back safely," the caption read. 

In case you didn't know, his agency, Companion Company, announced on Wednesday, March 20, that Min-gue will be enlisting as an active-duty soldier starting April 1. 

"We would like to thank the fans who always give generous support and love to actor Kim Min Kyu (also spelled as Kim Min-gue), and we would like to inform you about actor [his] enlistment," the statement began, as reported by Korean entertainment media outlet Soompi.

The agency also added that there will be no official events on the enlistment date to "prevent safety incidents due to congestion on site."

"We ask for fans' love and support so that actor Kim Min Kyu can diligently complete his mandatory military service and return to a more mature and healthy state," they concluded. 

Min-gue recently starred in the series The Heavenly Idol with Ko Bo-gyeol. He was also part of the hit series Business Proposal, Backstreet Rookie, Because This Is My First Life, and Queen: Love and War.

He visited the Philippines for his first-ever fan meeting in Manila in April 2023.
