BTS member Kim Seok-jin, known professionally as “Jin”, cut his hair in favor of a shorter, shaved look ahead of a mandatory military service stint. Jin posted a picture of his new style on Weverse, and fans had mixed reactions.
The look in question is a buzz cut that’s a far cry from the long fringes we’re used to seeing. hahaha cuter than I thought.” Many fans agreed, expressing how much they loved his new cut. “WWH (Worldwide Handsome) even has a buzz cut,” read one comment. “SO CUTE 💜,” said another .
Although Jin is the member of BTS who changes their hair the least, his bandmates are known to change their hair quite often. V sported some iconic green bangs in 2015, RM was way ahead of the “Barbie” pink hair color trend after sporting the color that same year, and Jimin has been spotted in bright yellow hair in the past. Needless to say, the way BTS members wear their hair is a very big part of the group’s identity.
Jin is the first member of the group to enroll and begin his mandatory service, with the rest of the members to follow soon. The band’s label has said they plan to reunite in 2025, when everyone will have completed their time in the army. Take a closer look at Jin’s new buzz cut below.
