Singer and actor Hwang Minhyun has finally returned to his fans.
Hwang Minhyun ended his 1 year and 9 months of mandatory military service and on the 21st signaled his comeback through a Weverse live broadcast. He said, "I am grateful to Hwang-do (the fandom name) who have been eagerly waiting for me," and greeted fans, "From now on we won't be apart, so I want to do a lot of fun things with you all."
Hwang Minhyun said, "I still feel awkward standing in front of the camera," but candidly shared accumulated stories and communicated with fans. He reflected, "The past 1 year and 9 months were a time I really needed. It became an opportunity for growth both personally and as an artist." He also created new memories with fans through various segments, such as opening an advent calendar with small gifts and filling out a "To Do List" of things he wants to do this year.
There was even a surprise spoiler. Hwang Minhyun hinted and raised expectations by saying, "I wanted to create time to meet Hwang-do, talk and sing. I can't talk about details now, but you'll hear news before the year ends." Toward the end of the broadcast he said, "I will think a lot about how I can repay those of you who waited for me. From now on I will work harder so that Hwang-do only have happy moments," showing his special love for his fans.
Hwang Minhyun, who debuted in 2012 as a member of the group NU'EST, established himself as an all-rounder while alternating between singing and acting. Especially this year, he led the success of the preproduced TVING original Study Group by playing Yoon Ga-min, who has a gentle face and a surprising fighting ability. He received praise for renewing his "role of a lifetime" with a broad acting spectrum from hyper action to delicate emotional lines.
Hwang Minhyun will host the "2025 MBC Gayo Daejejeon best" as an MC on the 31st, beginning his full preparations. Recognized for his steady hosting skills at the "2023 Gayo Daejejeon," he is expected to showcase his versatile charm again this year with witty banter and smooth stage manner.
