Over the years, Vernon has gone through many visual changes, but his recent look amid promoting with The8 for their subunit V8 has been gaining attention.
Ahead of the unit’s debut, Vernon and The8 had a special event for the album, and during the event, the idol shocked with 2000s floppy bangs, very different from his hairstyles over the past few years, including a buzz cut.
The images sparked a major buzz among netizens and were shared online
In the comments, while some were shocked that it was Vernon and even thought he had aged backward, some wondered how he pulled off such a bold hairstyle and couldn’t get over how handsome he looked.

- He’s still handsome even with his face almost completely covered by his bangs. It’s hard for anyone to look good with a hairstyle like that.
- Since when does anyone look handsome with a shaggy, overgrown haircut…?
- How does he manage to pull off that hairstyle…?
- Watching the Reel, I honestly couldn’t tell it was Vernon no matter how many times I looked. But after seeing the last photo, yep, it’s definitely Vernon. 😂
- He’s seriously insanely handsome.

- Wow, I feel like this kind of vibe suits him perfectly.
- Huh? That’s SEVENTEEN’s Vernon? Why does he look so much younger?
- After seeing him with the buzz cut, now that he’s got his hair down he suddenly looks way younger. The last photo seriously reminds me of his “Melona era.” It’s kind of amazing
