Just as he promised, Mingyu dropped an Instagram dump ahead of his enlistment, leaving us with so many precious moments to hold onto while he’s away. 🥹💗

Carats, I’m starting tomorrow too!! hehe

I’ll serve well and come back healthy.
In the meantime, spend lots of good times with our members, enjoy the things I prepared for you, and make sure to have happy days, one after another.

I’ll also try to adapt well to and experience these roughly two years that I’ll be living through for the first time.

I really have no worries, but the saddest part is that I won’t be able to see Carats for a while.. hehe

I’ll be back safely. Thank you for loving and cherishing me all this time.
When I come back, you have to love and cherish me again, okay? ❤️

Let’s meet again after 21 months, Mingyu! Until then, you’ll always have our love, and we’ll continue to cherish you with all our hearts. Come back to us safely. We’ll be right here, loving you just the same. ❤️

Mingyu made a striking appearance at the SIMMONS Gallery Seongsu in Seoul on September 3, attending the opening event for the brand’s Beautyrest BLACK pop-up.

Mingyu looked effortlessly handsome in his sleek black outfit and sunglasses, but it was his freshly buzz-cut hair that stole the spotlight. The adorable new look marks his shortest hairstyle yet, giving fans a sweet surprise ahead of his upcoming military service.

Even with his hair cut short, Mingyu’s signature charm and visuals remained as captivating as ever! Right? 😉
