On February 4, Baekho surprised fans by dropping multiple photos on Instagram — including a two-shot with fellow NU'EST member Kim Jong-hyun — reportedly taken on the day of his boot camp completion ceremony, and the post quickly became a hot topic.
The images appear to be from the training completion event, and the two former groupmates posed together, drawing attention for their unchanged bond and wholesome vibes.
Fans reacted, saying, "Their friendship is everything," "Baekho looks even cuter as a private," "The uniform really suits him," and "Such a loyal duo."
Kim Jong-hyun enlisted in September 2024, while Baekho began his service in December last year and is currently on active duty.
