EXO’s Xiumin has shared photos of himself sporting shorter hair as he prepares to enlist in the military.

On May 6, Xiumin shared photos on his personal Instagram account with no caption. The photos show him posing for the camera with a buzzcut, the haircut he needs for the military.

Xiumin is set to enlist on May 7, and the time and location of his enlistment have not been disclosed as he expressed his wishes to have a quiet enlistment. Following the announcement, he wrote a heartfelt letter to fans, and on May 4, held a fan meeting to meet with fans one last time before enlisting. He will also be releasing his solo track “You” through SM STATION on May 9 as a special gift to EXO-Ls. Xiumin will be the first EXO member to enlist.

We wish Xiumin all the best during his time in the military!
