Recently, it was announced that NCT’s Jaehyun will begin his military enlistment in November 2024, surprising many fans, as he was not expected to enlist so soon, being a 97-liner.
Military enlistment can be a sensitive topic for K-Pop fans, as it means idols will step away from the spotlight for an extended period. This change can affect the activity level of their group, and for fans, it often brings a big emotional shift.
Following the news of Jaehyun’s enlistment, NCT’s Haechan sparked additional conversation by playfully hinting at his own future enlistment, stressing fans with his light-hearted gesture.
NCT DREAM is currently on their The Dream Show 3: DREAM()SCAPE tour, having just completed the U.S. leg with a final concert in Chicago. During the closing moments, the members shared their reflections on the tour. Jeno took time to thank his fellow members for their hard work.
However, it was Haechan who unintentionally became the center of attention. A video clip circulating online shows Haechan saluting during Jeno’s speech. Humorously, he was the only member to make this gesture, immediately drawing fans’ focus.
While Haechan is known for his playful antics, this moment left fans both amused and a bit anxious, particularly in light of Jaehyun’s recent enlistment news.
