"Tadashi making a comeback"— Fans stunned as SEVENTEEN's Mingyu channels 'Big Hero 6' character during his recent airport appearance

On June 12, 2024 (KST), K-pop group SEVENTEEN's rapper Mingyu left for his overseas schedule from Seoul's Incheon airport. The LALALI rapper was seen looking dapper in an all-black Calvin Klein attire, which the American brand posted on its official X account (@Calvinklein).

His fans have been waiting for the brand to upload the final pictures from the campaign's photoshoot ever since the reports surfaced. However, Calvin Klein hasn't released them yet. Several fans speculated that Mingyu might have left for the spring/summer campaign photoshoot on June 12.

Nonetheless, some fans observed and pointed out that the K-pop idol's latest airport look reminded them of "Tadashi Hamada" of the famous Disney animated movie Big Hero 6. Consequently, they flooded social media with their statements and one fan even wrote:

"Mingyu Tadashi making a comeback"

SEVENTEEN's fans, well-known as CARATs, took X by storm and posted hilarious tweets about keeping Mingyu away from a "burning university." This is a direct reference to the Disney movie, Big Hero 6, where Tadashi Hamada dies while trying to save his younger brother after a fire breaks out in his university.

"Keep him AWAY from a burning university," an X user wrote.

"Kim Mingyu as the real life Tadashi Hamada," another X user wrote.

"Why does he remind me #BigHero6's Tadashi here?" an X user commented.

"Known for his stunning looks and captivating charm, mingyu perfectly embodies the modern spirit and iconic style embodies the modern spirit and iconic of the brand," a fan wrote.
