SEVENTEEN's Mingyu Shares Shaved Head Selfie Before Military Enlistment

SEVENTEEN member Mingyu has garnered significant attention by sharing selfies featuring a newly shaved head just before his military enlistment. Fans are buzzing about his striking visuals, which remain prominent even with the drastic haircut, highlighting his distinctive features and confident demeanor as he prepares for his service.

Mingyu posted several selfies on his SNS, wearing a comfortable gray sweatshirt and showcasing items from luxury brand D, for which he is an ambassador. Despite the short haircut, bloggers noted his "perfect head shape" and sharp jawline, emphasizing his clear facial features and masculine charm. He is set to begin his alternative service as a social service worker on September 10th, becoming the seventh SEVENTEEN member to fulfill military duties, following Jeonghan, S.Coups, Wonwoo, Hoshi, Woozi, and DK. Pledis Entertainment requested fans refrain from visiting his enlistment site or service location, encouraging online support instead, and confirmed that pre-filmed content will be released during his absence.

Local bloggers expressed admiration for Mingyu's ability to pull off the short hairstyle, describing his appearance as "sculpted visuals" that turn everyday moments into a photoshoot. His cheerful and warm farewell, including a simple "빡빡" (bbak-bbak, meaning shaved) caption with his selfie, was seen as a characteristic way to reassure fans. Many fans are sending messages of support, anticipating his healthy return and the continued release of content to bridge the gap during his service.
