Long, flowing locks are considered one of the hallmarks of female idols. Many idols, such as Apink‘s Son Naeun and IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung have gone years maintaining the style. NewJeans based their debut concept on natural, long hair to emphasize youth and innocence.
On the other hand, while pixie cuts are rare to find in K-Pop, we’ve gathered six female idols that pulled off the look to perfection.
1. Yebin (DIA)
DIA’s Yebin manages to make the short cut look ethereal and fairylike. We credit it to the white-blond color she bleached it to.
2. Jeongyeon (TWICE)
While we’re not a fan of the token “tomboy” styling that management companies give to a select member in girl groups, we do love that the style complements Jeongyeon’s easygoing personality and heart-shaped face. A girl crush for sure!
3. Choa (AOA)
The former main vocal set online communities abuzz when she first debuted with her blond pixie cut.
4. Narsha (Brown Eyed Girls)
The OG girl group representative of the pixie cut, Narsha made it look elegant and cool.
5. Hyebin (Momoland)
Hyebin looks completely different with short hair. While fans were preferential to her long, wavy locks, the short cut on her also deserves some love!
6. Hyerin (EXID)
The talented star rocked the pixie cut! It suited her naturally petite frame and tiny face.
We love to see the variety in K-Pop! All these girls demonstrate that you can rock the pixie cut in a variety of concepts and styles. From innocent, to girl crush, to sexy, it’s limitless!
