Recently, it was announced that NCT‘s Jaehyun would begin his military enlistment in November 2024. The news surprised many fans, as the idol was not expected to start his service until a later date as a 97-liner.
Enlistment can be a sensitive topic among K-Pop fans, as idols step out of the spotlight for an extended period. This can also change the activity level of the idol’s group, and for fans who follow them, it can be a big change.
After the news of Jaehyun, NCT’s Haechan stressed out fans with a little hit at his future enlistment.
NCT DREAM are currently on their The Dream Show 3: DREAM()SCAPE TOUR. Recently, the group completed the U.S leg of the tour with a final concert in Chicago.
The concert concluded with the members giving their final thoughts to the crowd and speaking about their time on this portion of the tour. During his speech, Jeno thanked the other members for their hard work during the tour.

However, a clip of Haechan from this moment has gained attention online.
In the clip, the idol is saluting, seemingly in response to Jeno’s words. Hilariously, he is the only member shown doing this action during that time.

While Haechan is known for joking around, fans were left a little “stressed” by his action in light of the recent announcement about Jaehyun.
