Kihyun of boy band Monsta X will host a special exhibition and pop-up merchandise store shortly before he enlists for mandatory military service, according to his agency Starship Entertainment.

The exhibition and pop-up store titled “Moments of November” will be open from Monday to 15 in the cafe OAOA in eastern Seoul’s Seongsu-dong, Seongdong District.

“Kihyun made this opportunity to share his memories with Monbebe, Monsta X’s fandom,” the agency said in a statement. Kihyun recently shared with fans that he would be enlisting for active duty in the Army on Aug. 22.

The exhibition will consist of photos that were part of Kihyun’s photo book, also titled “Moments of November,” which dropped this month and was named after the singer’s birth month.

Kihyun has also hosted photo exhibitions titled “Moments of November” in 2016 and 2018.

The singer debuted in 2015 as a member of Monsta X. He is also active as a solo artist, starting last October with the EP “Youth.”
