Taeyong debuted his newly shaven head in a series of photos on Sunday, April 14, including a video showing the process.

He is the first member of NCT to enlist in the military.

Taeyong is the leader of NCT 127, a sub-unit of K-pop boy group NCT. He recently made a comeback with his second mini album “TAP” on February 26. – Rappler.com
