Netizens say NCT's Jaehyun is 'handsome as ever' even with his short, military-ready buzz cut

NCT’s Jaehyun is making waves with his new buzz cut ahead of his military enlistment.

Netizens were quick to react to Jaehyun’s recent Instagram post showing off his freshly shorn look for his mandatory service. In the snapshots, Jaehyun, dressed in all black with dark hair, shared moments from his haircut transformation, including the cut’s process when his hair was still bleached.

One of the photos shows Jaehyun having a lollipop, adding a playful touch to his otherwise sleek vibe. Alongside these shots is a chocolate cake with a knife dramatically positioned in a slice, as well as a creative display of his name, spelled out in his freshly cut blonde locks.

In the caption, Jaehyun shared a heartfelt message: "Reflecting on the memories we've shared, looking forward to the journey ahead together."
