Mingyu was dressed in a sleek black and white outfit—a black buttoned wrap jacket and a pair of creamy white straight-cut pants. He wore a pair of black glasses, and his hair was slicked back in style. His hands were adorned with rings, and his feet sported a pair of shiny black shoes.

"love this outfit on mingyu! he looks gorgeous," a user wrote.

"Love when he does his hair like this," a fan wrote.

"I LOVE the cut of the jacket on him!!!!" another fan replied.

A few fans compared Mingyu's look to that of a 'retired college professor,' whereas some wanted Mingyu to star in a drama in the role of a CEO.
