Hair colors, hairstyles, and hair cuts form the core of the Korean musical industry. The hairdo of the idols is often a statement, and they are always in for trying something new. Throughout the years, we have seen idols owning colors and styles that normal individuals like us can only dream of. They have received their share of criticisms and backlash for the same. However, the look and styling of the hair still remain an integral part of all idols. The bottom line is that it is a vast area with scope for experimentation, and the industry has not hesitated to go all in! And, here we shall be looking into some of the K-Pop idols and their bad haircut phases.
Korean idols are often spotted with new hair colors and styles for every comeback. The vibrant colors and flamboyant styles are essentially what differentiates the K-POP industry from the rest of the realm of music. Furthermore, hawk-eyed fans always take it as a challenge to stay alert for hints that reveal the next statement hairstyle of their favorite idols! Over time, Korean idols have served fans with some bold and fierce looks. Despite this, it is no doubt that there have also been times that made fans go ‘WHY????’ Focussing on this era of idols in today’s discussion, let’s examine some of the idols who were cursed with ‘Bad haircut phases’ and how they steered through it!
K-POP Idols And Their Bad Haircut Phases
Ranging from bowl cuts to failed undercuts, the disasters in hairstyles are many! The early era of K-POP has no doubt seen some of the craziest hairstyles. However, ‘Bad haircuts’ have prevailed throughout. Moreover, it has never discouraged idols from providing stellar performances. Whether it was the early 2000s or the recent generations, hair mishaps are quite evident. Let us now count down some of the ‘K-POP idols with bad haircut phases!’
5. Seventeen’s Vernon
Let us kickstart the list of ‘K-POP idols with bad haircut phases’ with a fairly decent one. Vernon is often the visual god of the group. He is always characterized by chic outfits and sleek hairdos. However, some of them were just not it for the fans. For those who require more hints, we are talking about his era of the fortune cookie hairstyle! Many fans did not find it appealing but instead plain funny. This was definitely not what we asked for when we said K-POP idols do not reveal more skin!
4. BigBang’s Daesung
BigBang is known for its outright madness when it comes to crazy hairstyles. From G-Dragon’s sushi looks to T.O.P’s peacock head, the examples are endless. However, this stood out for us the most. Although generations ago, Daesung’s disastrous haircut is still too hard to forget. Unaware of what his stylists were thinking, we are just as curious to know how they managed to pull off such a ridiculous look. The bowl cut caused damage beyond repair, and fans have not hesitated to explain how it just did not work for them! Bringing back to you, the disaster from 2015, Daesung and his never-ending saga of Bowl cuts!
3. BTS’ RM
New-gen K-POP fans may have some opinions about this one, but RM’s hairstyle in the debut era was sure to make fans go, ‘Do you ever wonder, what is going on inside their head?’ His mohawk look ranked below zero on a scale of ten. The blonde version only added to the misery. Despite that, he is still the lovable little angel that fans cannot get enough of! Further, RM himself has expressed his regrets and dissatisfaction with his pre-debut choices. In fact, when asked what advice he would give to his younger self in an interview, his immediate response was, “Please change your hair.”
2. EXO’s D.O
EXO’s main vocalist, Do Kyungsoo, has received some very unfair haircuts, in our opinion. So much so that he is popularly known as the egghead. It is more than once that we have pondered how D.O himself feels about this. His bald hairstyle remained constant for almost more than one comeback, and there is no doubt that he made it to the list of ‘K-POP idols and their bad haircut phases’. However, we believe Kyungsoo’s bright smile makes up for the lack of hair on his head and we cannot adore him more.
1. TVXQ’s Changmin
There is no way that this list of ‘K-POP idols and their bad haircut phases’ would be complete without the mention of Changmin and his unforgettable look. The second-hand embarrassment is real with this hairdo, although we love Changmin very dearly! A throwback to when Changmin proved that looks could, in fact, kill is just the ending we need to the list of ‘K-POP idols and their bad haircut phases’. Rest assured, this look will go down in history until the end of time!
The list hardly covers all the weird and crazy moments in K-POP history. DARA’s Kimbap haircut, Chanyeol’s era of princess’s hair, and even Minho’s ramyun style are honorable mentions on the list of ‘K-POP idols and their bad haircut phases.’ But at the end of the day, K-POP is for the wild and crazy, and they sure are living the life!
