NCT's very own Taeyong has given fans a glimpse of his new look - a shaved head, just a day before his navy enlistment.

On April 14th, he took to Instagram to share a series of photos showcasing his new look. The photos reveal Taeyong sporting a clean-shaven look, a clear indication of his impending enlistment.

Despite the absence of his usual hair, there's a warm vibe radiating from him, thanks to his striking features.

Having made his debut with NCT in 2016, Taeyong has been a dynamic presence in sub-groups like NCT U and NCT 127.

In addition, he made his solo debut in June of the previous year, marking another milestone in his career.

Taeyong is set to enlist in the navy as an active-duty soldier on April 15th. In line with his low-key approach, no official events are planned for the day of his enlistment.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
