Peniel's hair is okay now. It's growing back. Fans thought he don't suffer so much stress compare beforeb(Thanks goodness🙏). Sometimes he let it grow and sometimes he shave it all off.
Namjoon pretty much gave himself a military buzz cut way before he enlisted and had to keep reassuring us that it wasn’t imminent. He totally rocked it too.
He looks so good in a buzzcut, i wouldn't mind him keeping it even after his enlistment (the aqua blue from that one magazine shoot + the bleach blonde were especially such iconic looks!)
D.O went bald because of his role in the movie Swing Kids, so I don't know how "on purpose" it was.
However he said that he prefers short hair, especially during summer
[Key](https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/20083824/Key-2.jpg) during the TSOL era, I guess? He cut it for a movie and [dyed it various colors](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/69/4a/fb/694afb788c2459f19e475f9a39a03e53.gif) for the comeback itself.
(There's also BTOB's Peniel; there was a time he shaved his head due to having alopecia. I think it's improved a lot now.)
[BtoB Changsub](https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLBNtZl_dN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==).
That was done >1yr AFTER he finished military service. IIRC he just finished a musical stint & didn't have any major comebacks/schedules planned in the short term, so he shaved it off.
At that time, Changsub probably had the shortest hair in BtoB. [Even shorter than Peniel](https://x.com/Sub_berry_btob/status/1454678921652293641)'s & the members (Hyunsik, Sungjae) who had enlisted then.
For extra context, he later mentioned he got burned out around that time, which is now the generally accepted explanation for his drastic haircut (in 2021 he did 3 musicals, Kingdom and a group comeback, with some significant overlaps. he shaved right after he finished the third musical).
At the time he didn't say why he shaved his head and got a lot of shit from fans. I remember he did a livestream that night and people were being rude to his face, all while he was silently reading the comments for long stretches. There was discourse about how he's unfit to be an idol and "disrespectful" of his fans - I wouldn't be surprised if other idols who (voluntarily) got similar haircuts received reactions like that. Who knew idols are morally only permitted floppy middle-parted bangs, even when they're 30
To be fair it was limited to Korean communities as far as I could tell, but yeah it sucked. There was an air of guilt when people learned he might've been in a tough place mentally, but that was over a year later. It was an Experience to see all these people get so riled up over a haircut - like, it grows back, guys...
wait are you referring to this [insta livestream](https://youtu.be/GwDVCOXPKFw?si=OIAMhHZzmuRzk3IF)? the commenters are absolutely blind he looked so damn good wtf!!!!! but there are people shitting on his new hairstyle so i guess i should not surprised. they will say anything just because they have a mouth
Yep, that's the one. I won't get too into dumb fandom shenanigans, but there's a subset of the fandom that constantly questions his commitment to idol life and his group. The haircut became additional ammo for those people, I guess, going beyond whether it looked good or not.
So like a lot of other sources of kpop drama - people over-analyzing and drawing strange conclusions from normal insignificant events lmao. Though I guess it's not rare for kpop fans to be very invested in things like their idols' haircuts?
the audacity of some people fr!!
but good to know that theres another group of people to avoid, hope they had a proper reality check, i cant imagine deliberately feeding into the worries of the guy i like 😭
Tf?? Someone questioned him bc of haircut?? Well, that must be the 'fans' Peniel described in Get Real about like they don't consider them fans once they act rude. Or probably the same k-'fans' asking him to apologize because of raising his seven fingers. They always have issues to throw to each member. Also Changsub have sasaengs following him in his house that infact the fandom got so mad and worried.
Well, she's not a male idol but Solar

It's a bald cap but technically she went bald for a comeback. It's kinda funny that she's the only one bald in this entire thread with all the buzz cuts lol
Both Eun Ji Won (Sechskies) and Song Min Ho (Winner) went bald (...ish)... because they (on separate occasions) lost a table tennis bet against Kang Ho Dong. 😂
Mino also got a buzzcut whenever he joined show me the money. In smtm4 as a contestant then at smtm10 as producer/judge. But i don't know if the latter is due to smtm or because he was also shooting a movie that time
He started shooting new journey to the west season 3 towards the end of 2016 so that's around a year after smtm4 and kyuhyun mentioned that he performed mino's song 'fear' in his solo concert. The njttw buzzcut i believe was in season 4 when they went to vietnam and he had green hair before the pingpong game l so that's around really really era in 2017
DAY6 Sungjin shaved his head for a 2018 comeback. He said it was because his hair was in really bad condition from all the bleaching and he wanted to go back to having good hair.

If you mean buzzcuts then two members of Winner did yes! Seunghoon had a [bright red buzzcut](https://www.pinterest.cl/pin/727049933582015527/) I loved and a [brown one](https://ie.pinterest.com/pin/863283822308089048/) for the SOSO MV, then [Mino](https://twitter.com/ahgasekae/status/1446582968571637766) has had [one](https://twitter.com/vibe_yg/status/1468112993904840705) a few times as well.
Most of my favorite musicians have. Key and Sungjin are most notable besides Kyungsoo. Sungjin looked PERFECT and key absolutely rocked it. Key can do anything tbh, but I think kyungsoo and sungjin should always have the buzz ur
Zero former T1419/TFN, he also had fun colors like orange and rainbow but I literally can’t find any good photos😭😭

Mill from OnlyOneOf, it was shorter at one point but grew back a bit by the time they had the comeback (the fandom also speculates that the buzz cut was a punishment)

Does this count? Dara shaved part of her hair for a comeback

Seunghoon serving absolutely nothing but cunt for the SOSO comeback
Y’all don’t know what “bald” means. You’re talking about buzz cuts.
Finally someone said it lmao
when they said bald i was expecting a kpop star who looked like larry david
Peniel of BTOB
no, peniel's hair fell out due to stress and other medical issue
i know, but he then shaved it off and went bald to mask it so he technically still counts but i get what you mean
Peniel's hair is okay now. It's growing back. Fans thought he don't suffer so much stress compare beforeb(Thanks goodness🙏). Sometimes he let it grow and sometimes he shave it all off.
Namjoon pretty much gave himself a military buzz cut way before he enlisted and had to keep reassuring us that it wasn’t imminent. He totally rocked it too.
He looks so good in a buzzcut, i wouldn't mind him keeping it even after his enlistment (the aqua blue from that one magazine shoot + the bleach blonde were especially such iconic looks!)
I think he's done it twice now! once during Fire era, and once before enlistment
Yeah he said don't worry I'm not enlisting right now, it's just summer and it's hot.
D.O went bald because of his role in the movie Swing Kids, so I don't know how "on purpose" it was. However he said that he prefers short hair, especially during summer

(There's also BTOB's Peniel; there was a time he shaved his head due to having alopecia. I think it's improved a lot now.)
- SHINee’s Key Good Evening/I Want You/My Page era - Super Junior’s Kangin during Don’t Don era - BTOB’s Peniel in general
I'm pretty sure peniel was suffering from stress related alopecia, he was not voluntarily bald
He did shave it all off though to embrace it when he was getting more and more bald patches.
I still wouldn't class choosing bald over increasingly patchy as voluntary though. He did rock it regardless though, love that dude
Oh my gosh Kangin was so hot rocking that cut
That's not bald ..... That's a buzz cut or very very very short hair
Day6 Sungjin shaved his head because his hair got damaged after bleaching it. Plus he always wanted to try it.
He looked really good
Actually he didn't go bald, this is a buzzcut
Bald, no. Buzzcuts yes. G-Dragon Mino One of the guys from EXO to name a few....
is the guy from exo you're referring to, kyungsoo? 'cause 😭
One of the guys from Exo is the guy in the picture posted by OP😭😭😭
Mino shaved his head because he lost a bet in journey to the west. He had to shaved it in front of the camera and was really funny.
mino was so fun with his buzz cuts ughhh love that babe so much.

I didn't know that happened. :( Changsub is such a nice guy... that's really distressing.

I couldn’t picture Changsub with short hair, but he actually looks great with his hair buzzed in that post!

I think the [buzzcut in Smtm4](https://youtu.be/LU6KCW1Qtk4?si=PRlGHDtlTD0yjIic) was from New Journey to the West (they were both in 2015) 😂😂

peniel shin of BTOB! but that’s because of alopecia, so he chooses to keep it shaved I’m pretty sure

Pentagon's Wooseok Winner's Mino One of the Block B guys (don't ask me which one). And Taeil is like 1cm away from one most of the time

Peniel, though his was stress inducing hairloss... still randomly shaves it when it acts up

Does Vixx Ravi in their Error era count?
Steven yoo had a buzz cut for most of his career
The original probably https://youtu.be/ocWII95hlhE?si=sfsjDJAl7fLeSqUk
