Although Ricky has had darker hair in the past, it has never been seen during his time in the public eye from being a contestant on Boys Planet to debuting in ZEROBASEONE… until now.

On November 28 and 29, ZEROBASEONE attended the 2023 MAMA Awards, and Ricky was still sporting his iconic blonde locks.

Following the event’s ending, the idols were all seen at Narita Airport before returning to Korea. Of course, fans of the idols were all waiting to take photos of their favorite artists, and Ricky was no different. Yet, netizens were in for a shock.

When popular fansites shared photos of Ricky, he no longer had blonde hair but what seemed to be either really dark or even black hair.

In the images, the idol still looks stunning without his signature blonde locks, but it was definitely a change for fans.

Considering the dramatic transformation, it would be easy to think it was edited, but with photos from multiple accounts and videos, Ricky with dark hair is truly real.

As expected, Ricky suits every hairstyle and it will be interesting to see how long this style lasts as it might take some getting used to as fans have always seen Ricky with blonde hair.
