Taeyong, the leader of the K-pop boybands NCT and NCT 127, is ready to kickstart his military activities soon. His mandatory enlistment was announced by SM Entertainment last month. Now, the 'TAP' singer has finally initiated the process, marking April as the month of entry. The K-pop sensation is scheduled to be enlisted as an active-duty soldier tomorrow (April 15).
With just a day left until his enlistment, Taeyong has debuted a new haircut. The NCT leader has shaved off his hair ahead of the enlistment. The 'SHALALA' singer shared his new look on his Instagram account. In the new pics, Taeyong is seen channelling his rapper persona, exuding unparalleled swag and charisma. In his post, he also thanked fans and fellow members for their support.
Taeyong is the first member of NCT to announce his military enlistment. Setting the tone for the rest, the 28-year-old will be the first to take off the mandatory service this month.
In a statement released last month, SM Entertainment stated, "Taeyong is all set to enlist in the Navy as an active duty soldier on April 15. His enlistment procedure will be carried out privately, without any public displays. "
“Please show continued support and love until the day Taeyong diligently completes his mandatory service and returns in good health,” the statement concluded.
The NCT leader also shared a hand-written letter with fans on WeVerse. Thanking his fans for a meaningful journey, he assured them he'd do his best and return as a better version of himself.
