Gone are his vivacious, va va voom hair.
The K-pop sensation turns 30 years old on May 6, but the date also marks the day when he will be officially enlisting in the military, turning it into a bittersweet event. As preparation before being shipped off, Baekhyun shaved his head and decided to share the first glimpse of it on Instagram.

He wrote a caption saying,
“D-1 I’ll go (serve) and return safely.”
In the picture, ‘Bacon’ Baekhyun is wearing a grey sweatshirt, black pants and a matching black cap to conceal his head. His labelmates Yesung (from Super Junior) and fellow EXO member Lay showed their support by sending him good wishes for his military service and also prayed for his safe return. The comments section is also flooded with fans wishing him a happy birthday.

Before leaving for the military, Baekhyun hosted a special birthday V-live broadcast for EXO-Ls on May 1 so he could spend some quality time with his fans before leaving for the military, following his five other EXO members. Xiumin and D.O. have completed their enlistment while Chen, Suho and Chanyeol are currently still serving.
But don’t worry! Baekhyun has left us a lot of music to listen to so we don’t feel his absence too much. He will also be collaborating with solo artist Seo Moon Tak on their new music video, ‘Hurt’. It is a part of the Votiz project by vocal training academy Voice Tuning and will drop on May 10 at 6 p.m. KST.
Let’s all wish Baekhyun a very happy birthday and wish for his safe and healthy return from the military!
