HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk has increasingly become a topic of public interest over the past few months, particularly due to fans’ increasing dissatisfaction with his company. Recently, the music mogul went viral in Korean online communities once again.
On July 12, a netizen posted a picture of Bang, taken from his back, on the popular online community Instiz. The picture showed the HYBE founder taking a picture of something at an ENHYPEN pop-up store.
But what attracted netizens’ attention in this seemingly unassuming shot was Bang Si Hyuk’s hair, which seemed to have thinned at the top of his head. The OP (original poster) wondered in their caption whether he was losing hair due to hate comments and overall stress.
The picture immediately went viral, with netizens debating what could be the possible reason behind his sudden hair loss. While some felt it was a natural result of him aging, others also pointed out that the picture itself was from over a year ago, implying that his hair condition didn’t have any correlation with HYBE’s current controversies.
- “It looks like the hair loss that comes with age, though?”
- “Having a hard time? LOOOOOL. Cheer up, Mr. Si Hyuk. We’re here ~ ^^”
- “It’s just normal hair loss.”
- “What are you doing bringing up pictures from last year’s ENHYPEN concert?. LOL. This is freaking funny.”
- “It’s none of my business.”
- “But it seems like he is relieving his stress well.”
- “It’s aging.”
- “Isn’t this an old photo?”
- “It seems like other people are also stressed because of Bang. It’s just that they haven’t experienced hair loss.”
