"I guess he like his blonde hair": Fans feel sad at the thought of Jimin getting buzzcut
For those unversed, it is customary in South Korea for any male citizen who is about to enroll in the military to have his head shaved or given a buzzcut before reporting for duty at the training facility. Even Kim Taehyung and Kim Namjoon, who enlisted lately, had their heads shaved. Jungkook has also shaved his head, but eagle-eyed fans observed in the OT7 picture that he had not cut his hair short yet.
They also assumed that the Like Crazy singer liked his blonde hair just as much as his fans did. According to claims from the South Korean media outlet Dispatch, the Like Crazy singer was apparently scheduled to enroll for his mandatory military duty on December 12.
Several amusingly commented that he might wait for the van to drop him off at the training center or shave his head at the gate. Many fans also stated how the glimpse of the Like Crazy singer in the OT7 picture was enough to provide them with comfort. Fans were also wondering if he will get his hair cut tomorrow or update them soon.
