On July 28, MBC's "Radio Star" released a video containing clips of AKMU member Chanhyuk discussing his fashion identity on Naver TV. On this day, "Radio Star" had guests Lee Chanhyuk, Jo Seho, model Lee Hye Jung, and Kim Seong Il.
The four were invited to talk as fashion icons, with all of them talking about their unique fashion philosophy and the items they love.
Chanhyuk talks about his unconventional hair and fashion changes in the pre-released video after being discharged from the military. He confessed that the reason why he messed with his hair a lot, including dyeing, cutting short, and growing out, was because he lived with dark hair for a year and a half while serving in the military.
But, once discharged, he wanted to change.
