And while those who attended the fan meeting have since dubbed the new look to be Lee Dong Wook’s “K-Pop idol” and “Jack Frost” eras, other fans aren’t feeling too sure about the color.

Some photos from the fan meeting have gone mega-viral…

…with Korean fans shocked at how good the actor looks despite his age.

• “I can’t believe he woke up and chose to go platinum silver. He’s a genius.”
• “HOLY MOLY.”
• “You can tell he’s such a good actor. Like, the picture of him holding the gun hits different.”
• “Oh, wow… Lee Dong Wook in silver hair is… so new and exciting.”
• “Wowza…! LOL.”
• “Wow…”
• “He’s GODLY.”
• “He’s f*cking handsome. Looks the same on and off camera.”
• “The silver hair is insane.”
• “Wait, what made him go all silver?!”
• “So K-Pop idol, haha. He can pull off all the colors.”
• “I love him…”

But following the post-fan meeting photos updated to the actor’s official Instagram feed, some international fans have left behind comments—calling him a “grandpa” and pointing out how the hair color doesn’t “suit” him.

According to fans who attended the event, the actor explained that the hair color change was not for work, but because he got bored of having dark-colored hair.
