SEVENTEEN's Mingyu set fans abuzz with his latest appearance at the airport ahead of the group's RIGHT HERE world tour concert in Singapore. On January 23, 2025, the rapper was spotted at the airport dressed in an all-black outfit before departing for Singapore.
The ensemble included a hoodie, a black face mask, and a black hat - covering most of his face and head, leaving only a glimpse of his hair visible. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed a striking detail— the rapper's hair, seen underneath his hat, appeared dyed blonde. The unexpected revelation immediately sent fans into a frenzy, sparking excitement.
The new look reminded many of the idol's iconic blonde era during SEVENTEEN’s Boom Boom promotions in 2016. CARATs, the fandom of SEVENTEEN, took to social media to share their excitement. One CARAT wrote,
