NCT's Jaehyun flexes new buzz cut as he officially enlists in the military
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.
