Minho extended thanks to all South Korean girl groups, especially TWICE, following his military discharge.
SHINee's main rapper and visual officially ended his military service on Nov. 15, meaning all three members of the boy group have completed their military duties. Taemin, on the other hand, is said to enlist next year.
As a way of celebrating, Key uploaded a photo showing all four SHINee members with the caption, "We're back!" making their fans extremely happy to see them finally all together.
On Nov. 16, SHINee Minho held a V Live called "MINHO: I'm Home" for the first time after more than a year since his enlistment in April 2019. The idol opened up to fans about the experiences he had while he was serving in the military, and at some point, Minho mentioned a popular Korean girl group while he was talking with SHINee's leader Onew, who suddenly appeared with a cake to congratulate him.
The singer shared that TWICE's hit song 'Fancy' was the track he often heard. He said, "In the military, I went to do religious activities, TWICE's 'Fancy' was released at that time. My fellow soldiers were big fans of TWICE's songs. They would turn it on and cheer a lot. I thought, 'Is this the military?'"
SHINee Minho added that after he heard the said track, he eventually liked it. "It became the background music of my military life," he revealed. The artist continued and said, "I'm grateful to all Korean girl groups. You give officers in the armed forces a lot of strength."
Meanwhile, SHINee Minho and Onew talked about other things together during the V Live. The former shared that he had become faster at changing clothes. "I typically change quickly for things like concerts. But I've become even faster," he said.
When asked about the experience he finds really worthwhile, Minho named participating in military aid to civil authorities. The singer stated that he went there to provide aid to those who were affected by a typhoon. He mentioned that he helped an elderly man whose farm was destroyed, so he gave all of his best to assist the man. As a result of his hard work that day, SHINee Minho was given bibimbap as his snack, according to him.
Minho was the third member of SHINee who enlisted and completed his military service. Last March 2019, he applied for the Marines and officially started his duties on April 15 that same year. After a month, it was reported that Minho received an excellence award after completing his basic military training. His mother attended the ceremony and couldn't help but be emotional for his son's achievement.
The singer was allowed to go on a 20-day final leave on Oct. 27 and be discharged at home without returning to the army base. However, Minho decided to use his leave not to take a break but to participate in training his junior soldiers.
On the same day of SHINee's Minho's enlistment, INFINITE's Dongwoo also began as an active-duty soldier, hence they were discharged at the same time.
Welcome back, Minho and Dongwoo!
