Besides the compliments from fans, Jungkook's shoulder-length, wavy hair received some comments about his masculinity.

Jungkook's look immediately became the center of discussion among fans on social media platforms. The bangs and shoulder-length hair created many mixed opinions, with some fans calling for Jungkook to cut his hair, because they thought that long hair reduced his masculinity.

However, Jungkook's hairstyle is not too strange to fashionistas, especially vintage fashion followers. In the 60s - 70s, the hippie wave and music icons like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones,... had an influence on popular culture, including fashion.

Men at that time tended to grow long hair not only for aesthetics but also to show resistance to the times. Among them, the shaggy hairstyle was popular and widely favored by men, associated with the image of stars such as Mick Jagger, John Lennon,...

Although not as popular today, the shaggy haircut is still timeless because of its versatility, The Trend Spotter emphasizes. The cut brings a minimalist yet charming look, easily changing according to preferences, style and context.

The shaggy has many variations, and Jungkook's hairstyle is one of them, called the gender neutral shag . The Trend Spotter describes this hairstyle as having layers with moderate waves and neatness, suitable for both men and women. Additionally, Jungkook incorporates the signature straight bangs of the 70s shaggy. This detail brings youthfulness and highlights the lines of the face.

With the characteristics of his hairstyle combined with his somewhat genderless face, it is not difficult for the "youngest member" of BTS to become the center of debate about masculinity. To balance the softness of this hairstyle, Jungkook chose to go without makeup and wear simple clothes.

Clout News said that the cuteness of Jungkook's hairstyle helps him look like a doll. His porcelain white skin, doe eyes, cherry lips and dimpled smile have helped him receive many compliments from fans.

During a livestream on February 11, Jungkook delighted fans by sharing his process of growing long hair. Responding to fans' comments, he wished his hair was long enough to pursue a men's bun hairstyle.
