Seventeen’s Vernon has surprised fans with a dramatic new look: a shaved head. The change sparked discussions across online platforms after Seventeen’s concert in Bulacan, part of their ‘RIGHT HERE’ world tour. Fan-shared photos and videos from the event revealed Vernon’s striking transformation.
Vernon’s New Look and Fan Reactions
Fans and netizens quickly commented on how the new hairstyle emphasizes Vernon’s sharp facial features, particularly his eyes and nose. Many felt the clean-cut style made his face appear even more sculpted. Some even drew comparisons to Stray Kids’ Hyunjin, who recently sported a similar look.
There was speculation about whether this change signaled Vernon’s possible early preparation for mandatory military service, given his dual U.S. and Korean citizenship.
Netizens shared a range of reactions, from surprise to admiration. Here are some of the comments:
“Wow, he still looks handsome even with that hairstyle.”
“But seriously, he looks so good… It suits him.”
“Wow, he really shaved his head.”
“He really shaved it all off.”
“Shaving his head really reminds me of that photo of his mom when she was younger, lol.”
“Even with his head shaved, his face is… It seems like he shaved it because he wanted to, but it’s like a preemptive strike for the military.”
“Oh… Why did he shave it? Just because he wanted to? Well, his hair will grow back healthier.”
“Vernon’s younger sister considered shaving her head too, and their mom’s shaved-head photo from when she was younger was so hip—it makes you think it’s in their genes, lol.”
“His face stands out even more now, and he looks even more handsome.”
“He’s handsome, but I understand the fans’ feelings, lol. He’ll have to shave it anyway soon, haha.”
“Wow, but his head shape is really not great… His face is seriously making up for it.”
“He’s not going suddenly, right? Maybe he volunteered…”
“His face really overcomes everything.”
“Oh my god, Choi Vernon actually shaved his head, lol, ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I saw the photo and hoped it wasn’t true.”
“Shaving his head makes his features stand out more sharply. Fans might have mixed feelings, but when you’re that handsome, anything works.”
“If he shaved it for the military, that means he’s probably leaving this week. Ugh, this makes me sad.”
“You finally did it, lol. Well, hair grows back quickly, so do whatever you want!”
“Is this half-shaved style a trend among male idols these days?”
“It’s way better not shaved…”
“He’s so handsome it suits him.”
“He hasn’t gone to the military yet, but he’s been saying he wanted to shave his head for years, lol.”
“Shaving his head makes him really look like his mom, lol.”
“I saw what Hyunjin from Stray Kids did, and now I’m wondering if this will keep trending… It shouldn’t.”
“His sharp features make his shaved look so intense. Hair grows back, so I hope he tries a variety of styles while growing it out.”
“Vernon’s been wanting to do it, and now he finally did, lol.”
