An update on MONSTA X's Minhyuk has surfaced, showcasing his life as an ordinary soldier during his mandatory military service.

On April 1, a photo surfaced on an online community revealing Minhyuk as a fan of aespa. In the image, Minhyuk is seen standing in front of his military locker, arranging his belongings.

Notably, fans noticed a poster of aespa's Karina displayed in the background.

While many fans were thrilled to catch a glimpse of Minhyuk's military life and his support for aespa, the photo sparked a heated debate among netizens.

Some expressed concerns that the photo may have been taken without Minhyuk's consent, raising questions about privacy invasion.

Korean netizens commented, "In the military, taking photos with a camera is strictly prohibited. It's astonishing that someone would break that rule to secretly take photos, and even more unbelievable that they would proudly share them. If caught, they could face serious consequences," "He probably put up Karina's photo because one of his peers gave him the photo," and "It's against the rule to take photos like that and it's taken without his consent. Let's not give such a photo any attention."

Others commented, "As a fan, I'm glad it's Karina lol, she has a boyfriend and all guys like Karina," "I don't know why they shared this photo. It's not like it's a lewd photo," "He's a normal guy at least," "I bet you there were a lot of male idols who had a crush on Karina," and "Karina is understandable lol."
