Jaehyun from NCT Enlists in the Military Today

Jeahyun from NCT 127

The second member of NCT is temporarily stepping away from the military.

Jaehyun has begun his mandatory military service as an active-duty soldier today (November 4). 

The 27-year-old singer is set to serve as a member of an Army band after completing the recruit training period.

On November 3, he shared photos ahead of the enlistment, revealing a buzz cut. This made many fans emotional as they would not see the “Smoke” singer participate in activities for 1 year and a half.

Due to safety concerns, he will begin his military service without a separate farewell event. He follows Taeyong, who is already serving in the naval band, as the second NCT 127 member to enlist.

Jaehyun shared a photo of himself with a shaved head on the eve of his enlistment, captioning it: “Reminiscing on the memories we’ve made, looking forward to the journey we’ll take.”

K-pop star Jaehyun, born in 1997, has had a remarkable journey since debuting in 2016. As a member of NCT, he has been part of several sub-units, including NCT U, NCT 127, and NCT DOJAEJUNG. This summer, he made his solo debut with the full-length album “J,” followed by the single “Unconditional” on October 24. 

In other news, he recently connected with fans at his sold-out fan concert “Mute,” held at Seoul’s Olympic Handball Stadium on October 26-27.
