18 Idols That Became Popular Due To Strange Hair Colors

With so many groups in K-Pop these days, it’s hard to gain recognition either as a group or individual, however, these idols took it to the next level by upgrading their appearance to include a wide variety of strange hair colors.

Usually, one member of a group will change their hair color before a comeback, and some of these changes have allowed their groups to gain extra recognition. One notable group who has used hair dying as a tactic is B.A.P who debuted with all six members sporting blonde hair. While historically, idols used to bleach their hair to make themselves stand out, the range of colors has vastly increased in recent years, with some idols even dying their hair bright red and green.

A recent post on Korean site Instiz titled, “This group ~ hair color, who? Male idols who are famous for it,” featured a list of idols who gained massive popularity after dying their hair unexpected colors.
