SEVENTEEN's Vernon sports a buzz cut for RIGHT HERE Phillipines tour following Stray Kids' Hyunjin in Gayo Daejeon
Buzzcut might become a trend soon with popular K-pop idols like SEVENTEEN's Vernon and Stray Kids' Hyunjin going for the look.
SEVENTEEN's Vernon surprised fans with his new look during the Philippine leg of the RIGHT HERE world tour. Fans had mixed reactions to Vernon shaving his head. The audience, who attended the two-day concert at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan on January 18 and 19, took photos and videos of the K-pop idol and shared them online.
Vernon's shocking transformation received praise from a group of fans who expressed their regret at not being able to witness it live. They commented on how prominent and sculpted his facial features looked without any hair covering his forehead, feeling that his visuals had improved even more with the fresh look. The other members had a fun time touching Vernon's head, leaving fans curious about what it felt like.
However, some others felt that the SEVENTEEN member looked better with his usual hairstyle. They expressed their disbelief at the fact that the idol did that to himself. The sudden transformation might also indicate an ensuing mandatory service calling for the rapper, as speculated by some netizens. However, whatever the reason might be, some are clearly not impressed with his new look.
Some fans also recalled how the idol previously expressed his desire for shaving off his head at an interview and now he finally did what he wanted to for quite some time.
Vernon's new hairdo also drew comparisons to Stray Kids' Hyunjin's buzz cut debut last month at SBS's Gayo Daejeon 2024. Fans were similarly stunned and had mixed reactions upon seeing the idol chop off his iconic long locks. Many appreciated Hyunjin for his bold move and praised his "lethal face card," while others expressed missing his long hair, which they felt gave him an AI-like beauty.
After his appearance at the Gayo Daejeon, Hyunjin trended at #7 worldwide on social media, becoming the only K-pop idol to feature in the top 10 that day, according to Viral Takes or @viraltakes on X (formerly Twitter).
Many fans speculated that his buzz cut might spark a new trend, and now, just a month later, Vernon has debuted the same hairstyle, further fueling discussions about this bold look becoming a rising fashion statement in K-pop.
