[talk] [2025 Latest] Is Hyunjin shaving his head to prepare for military service? What is the hidden intention behind it?

The reason why Stray Kids member Hyunjin shaved his head blonde is not just a fashion challenge, but also has a deeper meaning for his personal will and future activities. Here, we will take a closer look at the background and reasons behind Hyunjin's blonde haircut.

1. Korean idol culture and military service preparation

In Korea, it is common for male idols to shave their heads when they are about to serve in the military. This is considered one of the symbolic actions seen before the start of military service. Hyunjin was born in 2000, so it is likely that the time for military service is approaching, and his blond haircut can be seen as part of his preparations.

In Korea, men must complete military service by the age of 28, and Hyunjin is approaching this age, so his shaved head is often understood as part of his "military preparation." It is also common for idol groups to have a strategy of serving in the military in sequence, and it is believed that Stray Kids is similarly planning for each member to serve in the military in turn. Therefore, it can be speculated that Hyunjin's shaved head is related to future plans for activities and the group's strategy.

2. Inspiration from the Milan Fashion Show

Before Hyunjin shaved his head, he attended a fashion show in Milan, Italy in September 2024, where he showed off long hair. His change to a shaved blonde haircut after the posh fashion event in Milan may have also been influenced by the fashion industry.

Recently, K-pop idols often change their hairstyles and styles drastically during their performances, and Hyunjin may have tried a new style as part of that. In particular, bold changes attract attention in the fashion industry, where it is common for models and artists to evolve their style. Hyunjin may have been influenced by this and shaved his head blonde as a new challenge.

3. My personal intentions as an artist

Hyunjin is not only active as an idol, but also as an artist with a strong will. His blond haircut is thought to be a part of his self-expression. He is always trying to show his fans a new side of himself, and the strong impact of his new look, which is a departure from his previous soft image, could be seen as a sign of his next step.

The blond haircut is meant to express his evolution and change as an artist. By overturning Hyunjin's soft image to show a stronger side, he was likely trying to convey a new message to his fans and viewers.

4. Fan reactions and expectations

When Hyunjin's blonde, shaved head was revealed, it elicited a variety of reactions on social media and in fan communities. Many fans commented, "Any hairstyle suits him," and "I'm glad he's trying a new style." In particular, there were many comments that his beauty stood out even more, with many saying, "It really highlights his sculpted features," and "His visuals look even more godlike."

On the other hand, many fans have mixed feelings, saying things like, "If he's preparing for military service, he should announce it sooner," and "I want to see him with his shaved head before it's too late," and there are many concerns about Hyunjin's military service. However, there are also many fans who are looking forward to new developments for his next album and performances, and attention is growing on Hyunjin's future activities.

5. Summary

Hyunjin's decision to buzz cut his blonde hair is not just a change of hairstyle, but can also be seen as part of his evolution as an artist and his self-expression. Taking into account his military service preparations and the influence of the fashion industry, his image change is likely to have an important meaning for his future activities.
