In May of this year, Jungkook shared his plans on how he would like to cut his hair for his inevitable enlistment during a livestream.

Rather than cutting all my hair suddenly, I will gradually cut it shorter and shorter. It’s called ‘hair-lighting’ (play on words from gaslighting), and I will keep cutting my hair shorter until you guys all of a sudden ask, ‘What, when did his hair become so short? When did he buzz his hair?’ And so I will make it so that (my short haircut) feels natural.
