SEVENTEEN’s Vernon is stirring the pot with a new buzz cut, unveiled during the Philippine stop of the group’s “RIGHT HERE” World Tour. Fans went wild on social media, sharing snaps and clips of his freshly debuted look at the Philippine Sports Stadium on January 18, and 19 this year. And while Some Carats are all for this bold move, others are not loving the switch-up Vernon has in his appearance.

Besides the different opinions on his look, another chunk of fans thought that Vernon was prepping for mandatory military service, due to his hairstyle choice. Whichever option is, the other SEVENTEEN members couldn’t resist rubbing Vernon’s head during the show, making fans curious about the texture. Meanwhile, fans recall that Vernon once hinted at wanting to shave his head—a dream that’s now a reality.

Of course, Vernon’s daring hair is similar to Stray Kids’ Hyunjin’s headline-making buzz cut from SBS’s Gayo Daejeon 2024, which left fans totally shocked. Hyunjin even trended worldwide after changing his hairstyle, sparking talk of a new K-Pop hair trend. Now that Vernon’s also has a buzzcut, fans can’t help but wonder: Is this bald the new choice for male idols?
