Hairstyles have long been considered one of the most important elements in shaping a K-pop idol’s overall image. Sometimes, simply changing a hair color or length is enough to completely transform an idol’s aura. That is why idols are usually extremely cautious whenever they make decisions related to their hair.
BTS are no exception! Throughout more than a decade of activities, the group has worked almost exclusively with one or two longtime hairstylists, even bringing them along throughout world tours to ensure the members always maintain the most perfect stage appearance possible. Although they often keep the same hairstyle for long periods of time, compared to the average idol group, BTS members are still known for frequently experimenting with new styles.
Jin and Jungkook even once dyed or cut their own hair at home to the point where their stylists had to “panic” and fix it afterward. Surprisingly though, those α¢¢ι∂єитs eventually became legendary visuals that sent the fandom into a frenzy. BTS members are also famous for having very strong opinions regarding their appearance, especially when it comes to hairstyles they want to try. Most recently, HYBE Vice President and BigHit Music representative Kim Hyun Jung (Nicole Kim) confirmed in an interview that Jimin’s viral long hairstyle throughout the ARIRANG World Tour was entirely his own idea.
This only makes fans even more excited whenever BTS talk about hair. And recently, ARMYs completely ℓσѕт it when the members υиєχρє¢тє∂ly started discussing a series of new hairstyle ideas during a Bangtan Bomb behind-the-scenes video while preparing for their concert in Goyang!
Everything started when SUGA looked over at j-hope and complimented him: “Hoseok-ah looks really good with short hair.” j-hope immediately agreed, saying he looks younger with his current hairstyle. However, SUGA then “complained” that the two of them often end up having similar vibes visually. He revealed that he intentionally cut his hair shorter because the members’ hairstyles were starting to look too alike, but after cutting it, they somehow started looking similar again anyway.
In fact, this is not the first time SUGA has mentioned this interesting “hair rule.” During a previous livestream, he once explained that he cut his hair short because: “There can’t be two people with long hair on one team” — referring to the time when both he and Jimin had long hair.
From there, the conversation quickly turned into a full-on “brainstorming session” for future hairstyles for the entire group. j-hope curiously asked: “What should I do next?” While Jin said his own hair just keeps getting shorter, V suddenly announced that he could also cut his hair extremely short. Jin immediately suggested a buzz cut, making j-hope laugh as he imagined V being the only shaved-headed member in the group. What surprised fans the most, however, was SUGA admitting that he genuinely wants to try shaving his head at least once.
Meanwhile, RM especially excited fans when he asked the members for opinions about his summer hairstyle plans. The BTS leader debated between shaving his head or getting a soft wavy hairstyle similar to one V had before. Jimin instantly supported the perm idea, while j-hope also said RM would look great with long hair. Even though RM kept denying it because he thought long hair would not suit him, Jimin hilariously imagined: “Namjoon with hair down to his belly button.”
As soon as the conversation clips were shared online, the ARMY community exploded with amused reactions. Many fans laughed at how the members managed to turn a simple hairstyle discussion into a “comedy talk show” filled with bizarre yet fascinating ideas. At the same time, the fandom immediately began imagining countless new visuals — from RM with curly hair, SUGA with a shaved head, V with a buzz cut, and even “waist-length-haired Namjoon” as Jimin suggested.
Whether the members actually go through with these bold hairstyle ideas or not, simply seeing BTS enthusiastically discuss them has already made fans eagerly anticipate the possible visual transformations that could happen during the ARIRANG World Tour, commented: "Yoongi wants this Hot Guy Namjoon back", "How about all the boys with long hair", "Namjoon buzz cut needs to make a return for my sanity", "I’d love any of them", "we are likely seeing a buzz cut soon", "Shaved Yoongi would change lives", "Just do whatever you want, boys — you’ll look good no matter what",...
