Getting bangs can just be a simple haircut process but it can totally change someone’s appearance.  You can look younger or older and give of a “good boy” or “bad boy” vibe, depending on the style or length of your hair.

In Korea, it’s a popular hairstyle amongst men and here are some Korean actors and idols that rocked the trend!

iKON’s Song Yunhyeong

Idols usually go through drastic hairstyle change every comeback and promotions but in Yunhyeong’s case, he mostly prefers simple colours of brown or black.

In many of his looks, the singer is seen with bangs just on the side or with the bangs fully covering his forehead. However, he likes to switch it up from time to time, sporting parted bangs with a bit of a messy effect – giving that #JustWokeUp feel.

When Yunhyeong is not busy with his iKON schedules, he spends his time vlogging for his Youtube channel where he shares his hobbies of cooking and riding the bike.

Jung Hae In

Jung Hae In first became known for his roles in the hit dramas Goblin, While You Were Sleeping and Something In The Rain. In those three shows, he was seen with a clean-cut hairstyle, which is why it somehow became his signature look.

Although, the actor proved that he can also be just as handsome with bangs! If having a neat haircut made him look like a high school student, his longer hair with medium bangs turned him into a hearth throb college freshmen.

Hae In’s most recent drama is Snowdrop alongside BLACKPINK’s Kim Jisoo.

MONSTA X’s Hyungwon

Hyungwon’s parted bangs is the perfect hairstyle for men who want to try out something different, but is still not comfortable in fully exposing their forehead. This looks involves adding volume to the hair so it does not look flat, but instead a curved shape that sits perfectly just below the eyebrow.

Just like iKON’s Yunhyeong, Hyungwon mostly sticks to neutral colours when it comes to his hair. Instead of dyeing it, he focuses on switching up its style from adding bangs, brushing it up and curling it.

The idol recently starred in the 2021 drama Fly Again.

Park Seo Joon

Who will forget Park Seo Joon’s iconic Sae Ro-Yi’s hairstyle in Itaewon Class? This hairstyle is dubbed as a “bowl cut” or “chestnut haircut” simply because it looks like a bowl was put over the head to trim the hair.

As a result, the bangs are shorter than the normal length, placing way above the forehead. Not a lot of people try this look but Seo Joon’s character in the drama made the style popular!

For females, this haircut may remind you of Lee Sung Kyung’s character Bok Joo in Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok Joo.

JAY B

Males with longer hair can also sport bangs just like GOT7’s leader and now AOMG artist JAY B.

Since the length goes way below the eyes, it is advisable to part the bangs to keep your vision clear if you’re planning to get this style. Of course, you can also play around with it from time to time and tie it up to achieve the man-bun hair do.

JAY B recently released a live clip version of his song “바보같이” under his stage name Def.

Kim Seon Ho

Kim Seon Ho’s layered bangs are another fun take to this hairstyle. Basically, instead of just a straight cut, it uses different lengths and layers so that it will blend with the rest of your hair.

This method will help frame your face better, and can be parted, worn flat and even brushed into just one side!

Seon Ho became popular for his roles on Start Up alongside Bae Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk as well as Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha with actress Shin Min Ah.

SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups

SEVENTEEN’s leader and rapper Seungcheol, commonly known as S.Coups is one of the idols that are recently sporting the bangs look. If you look into his Instagram profile, you can see the many ways the artist has styled his hair with bangs.

He has parted it, curled it, brushed it on the side or kept it flat but one thing’s for sure – he looks handsome in all of them!

His group made a comeback with the song Rock With You 4 months ago.
