The Korean award season has already kicked in with the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards 2023 on July 19, 2023, but if we could, we would also accord these Kpop male actors with best hairstyles some glistening trophies from our end for always winning in the fashion sector as well.
Pulling of some of the most eye-catching looks, these idols know very well how to carry themselves at any event ranging from fan meetings, to award shows or even the bare informal schedules on the streets if needed. Frankly speaking, the last one has to be my favourite scenario of all because it opens up the room for more striking possibilities that these artists wouldn’t try out at any formal gathering.
Although the list is short, we’ve mentioned some of our favourite male Kpop actors who know just how to take their fashion to the next level by stepping out with the most daring hairstyles. There are many more out there, so don’t let us stop your imagination from swimming on and conjuring up the image of your personal favourites. Your suggestions may just introduce us to some more fascinating ideas!
Kpop Male Actors With Best Hairstyles
1. NCT Yuta
Yuta of NCT 127 has been well known for his daring and punk rock fashion choices. The Japanese singer made his acting debut in the Japanese film HiGH&LOW THE WORST X, which then led him to starring in the J-drama Play it Cool, Guys as well. He’s often sported ponytails, long silver hairdos, long blond hair that’s lent him the looks of a lion in the Kick It era, permed wavy hair, and shorter undercut hairstyles as well. However, what took the group’s fans’ world by storm was his fierce and vibrantly mind boggling bright red hair, which he also ended up tying high in a bun at one point and blessed us further.
2. ASTRO Eunwoo
Cha Eunwoo’s visuals have never failed him, just like his steadfast presence in K-dramas like My ID is Gangnam Beauty, ISLAND, True Beauty and more. Having become a brand himself, he recently even won a trophy at the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards 2023. The artist has often tapped into his strengths as an actor, Kpop idol and even a model while campaigning for several luxurious brands. These ventures have presented him with countless opportunities to step out with experimentations on his hair.
Donning a forest fairy look, he’s previously sported long locks that slightly touch his shoulders. Cotton Candy pink colour, or an unusual choppy hair look, ash blue colour, or wavy hair, blond or the suave award-winning look embodying his actor energy to the max level, they’ve all worked out in his favour. He even transformed his whole look with a startling short change, but one of the most memorable styles has to be his boyfriend messy hair look.
3. Kang Daniel
Being the legendary K-pop all-rounder he is, Daniel has not just won us over by his starry and warm smile, but also his effortless ability to knock it out of the park by donning a spectrum of colours on his head. Making his K-drama debut in the coming of age Disney+ series Rookie Cops, the Wasteland singer has become a force to be reckoned with. Be it peach, his fluffy brown hair, sakura pink, slicked back blond, tiny sprout ponytails, ash grey style or a wet messy hairdo, his charms can easily aid him in serving looks with each one of these colours and styles.
4. BTS V aka Kim Taehyung
You call it and the BTS jazz lover has probably adopted that hair look. The Curly Victorian look, a bazillion hair colours that helped him transform into a garden fairy, or even the best friend of a poodle, he’s owned each of these hairdos with a confident panache unlike any other.
Taehyung’s acting gig in the historical drama series Hwarang granted him the opportunity to take on long locks like they sported in the olden days. Plus, his epic two-shade hairstyle in the BTS Idol music video is still registered in the books. And of course, let’s not forget his “exposed forehead hairstyle with a single strand falling down”. *Chef’s Kiss*
5. EXO Baekhyun
One of his most memorable hairstyles is definitely his cherry red mullet featured during the Ko Ko Bop era. He’s mostly resorted to keeping his hair short, but this particular look had the world swaying and dancing in the palm of his hand. His album photo card with the same look became one of the most prized possessions owned by EXO fans, and they still race after it whenever and wherever it’s spotted on sale.
6. Im Si-wan
Yes, he’s also a K-pop idol, here’s something new if you didn’t know before. The ZE:A member has an endearing charm that wins you over instantly without you knowing it. And that quality comes with the way he presents himself to the world as the friendly next door guy.
He’s usually been captured in his short hairdo, but the one time he made his way out with luscious curly locks in the slice of life drama series Summer Strike, he again had our hearts beating at an unbelievable rate. Despite keeping it casual and simple, the man knows his way around the audience’s hearts, and that’s a deadly talent., which he shows off with a constant adorable smile on his face.
7. Park Jihoon
There have been long threads dedicated to his name, proving that he can make any hair colour his own. The former Wanna One member had already won over the world with his character essay as Yeon Si-eun in Weak Class Hero 1, but the breakout rookie actor has had many chances at hand to experiment with his hair too as a K-pop idol, which has surprised us equally from time to time.
Wavy blond, mushroom head look, delicate pink, silver, cherry red, and many more colours just slip on and out of his hair roots seamlessly. Each one has suited him like anything, turning up as the best accessory to his lovely visuals.
Other than being some of the best Kpop male actors out there, these artists have also rendered the whole world speechless with the way they carry themselves, further initiating an all new conversation around Kpop hairstyles we’re not getting weary of hearing anytime soon!
