On April 4, MONSTA X's Minhyuk bid farewell to his members and fans as he enlisted for mandatory military service. Before enlisting, Minhyuk had been keeping fans updated and showing them various photos until the last moment. 

It has been a little over a week since Minhyuk enlisted and joined the military basic training camp.

On April 12, photos of the idol were revealed, and Minhyuk looks healthy and happy. The photos showed Minhyuk posing with his fellow recruits and smiling confidently. The fans were impressed by how well he seemed to be adapting to military life and expressed their support for him on social media.

Fans commented, "He's still good looking as ever," "He really looks good in uniform," "I miss you Minhyuk," "Happy to see that he's smiling and healthy," "I wish he didn't go," and "Hope he returns fast."

Meanwhile, Shownu, who enlisted as an active duty soldier in July of 2021, will officially be discharged later this month on April 21. Minhyuk, who will begin his basic training alongside his fellow recruits on this day, is expected to be discharged from his duties by September 30, 2024.
