A video of his last day in the military services is going viral on social media. After he was discharged from the mandatory services, he was reunited with his parents and got emotional.

In the viral clip, Taeyong emotionally greeted his parents after he received a bouquet of red flowers from his mother. He then bows to them fully and delivers a touching official greeting. He then hugged his mother with tears in his eyes.

He is the first NCT member to complete the military training. Jaehyun, Doyoung, and Jungwoo are the other members who are still serving; the latter two recently joined last Monday December 8.
