Kim Jonghyeon of disbanded K-pop boy group NU'EST was spotted going around a mall, checking his birthday advertisements out in a cute puppy costume.
At noon on June 8, Kim Jonghyeon notified the start of his birthday tour titled 'Jjong-yi Tour' via Instagram.
A little while after the upload, a guy in an adorable puppy costume appeared at Starfield COEX Mall located in Samseong-dong, Seoul.
Not only did he have his signature character Pokemon's Squirtle bag on the back, but he was also holding the 'Jjong-yi Tour' flag; it was obvious 'the puppy' was Kim Jonghyeon.
Every year on his birthday, Kim Jonghyeon held the same sort of special event for fans, where he put a costume on and looked at birthday advertisements prepared by fans.
Back in 2018, he turned into the Squirtle himself, and in 2019, he was a grizzly bear wearing a top hat and ribbon.
Unfortunately though, he was unable to go on his birthday tour in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With this cute puppy costume, Kim Jonghyeon walked about the mall with his manager.
They stopped at birthday advertisements, and 'the puppy' took a moment to appreciate fans' heartfelt gift.
He was even seen 'crying' when watching one of the video birthday advertisements as well.
At the end of the 'Jjong-yi Tour', Kim Jonghyeon also went into a photo booth to keep a record of the day.
Fans watched him taking photos, and he made a gesture to fans that he liked the outcome.
He uploaded the photos on his Instagram right away, and commented, "I had much fun. Eat lunch, everybody!"
Born on June 8 1995, Kim Jonghyeon turned 27 today.
