Stray Kids’ Hyunjin Cuts His Hair For The First Time In Almost 1.5 Years
본문
Stray Kids‘ Hyunjin has been known for his gorgeous long locks for well over a year now… but all that just changed with an unexpected new haircut.
Hyunjin debuted his long hair all the way back on May 27, 2020, when the group released their trailer for “GO.” As if the video wasn’t exciting enough, fans went crazy when Hyunjin appeared on screen with neck-length hair and a ponytail.

The new look wasn’t actually the first time Hyunjin had gone beyond short hair. He also had a mullet back in 2018…
… and he repeated the look in 2019 too.
That said, his long hair for “GO” was a much more intense and dramatic change. From then on, he continued to grow his locks out longer. Over the period of a year or so, he showed off long blonde hair,

… and everything in between. In time, he soon became known for the style, even among non-STAYs. Many are convinced Hyunjin’s haircut even set a trend among boy group idols, many of whom have grown their hair out over the past year or so.

Fans got so used to long-haired Hyunjin, many never even considered that he might go back to short hair—which is why everyone fell into shock this week when he suddenly appeared with a haircut!
Stray Kids began promotions for B-side track “DOMINO” on Music Bank this week, and many fans were suspicious when they saw Hyunjin hiding his hair under a hoodie in fancam photos before the episode aired.
However, since Hyunjin has hidden his hair for no real reason in the past, many didn’t believe there was anything suspicious going on. But then, the “DOMINO” performance was revealed… and STAY social media went crazy when they saw this:
