BTS‘s Jungkook was the most recent member to fall victim to odd allegations.
Along with other beauty standards, idols are also expected to have long, full and thick hair. When they do, they usually gain attention for it, as — due in part to the constant dyeing — idols sometimes have shared tricks for making their hair look more than it is.
In a video that has now been deleted, it was claimed that Jungkook was losing hair around the crown of his head. Clips from a concert and a livestream were used as “proof,” showing the idol’s scalp more on display.
While there is nothing wrong with hair loss, as it affects many people around the world, including other idols, fans were quick to defend the idol against allegations. Some seemed to believe the clips were maliciously edited to show Jungkook as losing hair.

God, I’ve honestly never had to break down something this stupid before. You guys are so weirdly obsessed that it’s actually concerning. As you can clearly see, he has hair? pic.twitter.com/QjLn3qNxnU https://t.co/qLxklT9uI3
