Hair is considered a big part of anyone’s visuals and can serve as an identifying marker for K-Pop idols. For example, IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung has rarely been seen without long, flowing hair, and BLACKPINK‘s Lisa was known for often having bangs.
At the same time, idols experimenting with their visuals can make a big statement, like Aespa’s Karina, who dyed her hair blond for the first (and possibly last) time ever.
Now, a female idol has made a big change involving her hair!
Recently, XG announced that they would make a comeback, dropping the first teaser featuring member Cocona on May 16.
Viewers were shocked when the video appeared to show the idol shaving her hair. Though they were surprised, many found the surprising imagery very cool and a way of highlighting female empowerment.
However, many were not sure if the head shaving was real or not…that is, until their opening concert.
XG kicked off their first world tour, The first HOWL, in Osaka, giving fans a look at them in person. From the concert’s opening Cocona’s new hair style was apparent, showing off her completely shave head.

The star looked gorgeous throughout the show, the lack of hair seeming to emphasize her visuals even more.
Fans agreed with these thoughts, sharing their praise for the idol and her daring new styling!
