The clean-cut public image that K-Pop idols are required to maintain also extends to their bodies. So, it is no surprise that body hair is usually a rare thing to see on idols, be it a female or a male artist. However, a K-Pop idol recently broke away from that usual trend, and netizens are baffled, to say the least.
The idol in question is Juyeon from THE BOYZ.

Recently, Juyeon posted multiple pictures of himself from Paris, where he attended the Balenciaga winter fashion show for Paris Fashion Week.

A viral post on Instiz marked how it has become rare to see newer generation idols with body hair, and most of the comments were in agreement while praising the idol.

- “I guess he didn’t get a laser hair removal.”
- “It’s seriously been a while since I have seen them (body hair).”
- “I thought he was someone else at first!”
- “He didn’t have it before. Maybe he now finds removals bothersome?”
— “I’m not sure if he grew it out, but it looks like he deliberately didn’t shave it for the photos.” - “It looks natural. Good.”
Meanwhile, Juyeon’s Paris Fashion Week appearance had sparked a major controversy recently.
