NCT Jungwoo Raises Concern After Fans Noticed His 'Receding Hairline'
Recently on the online community platform Nate Pann on September 4, a netizen shared a set of photos of a K-pop idol performing on stage.
Along with the photos, the netizen took notice of the idol's hair, saying, "At this rate, shouldn't they be putting some hair spray and fix his hair before he dances like that? You can see everything when they are dancing. I got shocked when I watched the video."
Although the face of the idol was blurred out and his name was not explicitly said by the netizen, others assume that the idol in question is NCT member Jungwoo as the original photo was taken by the Jungwoo fansite, Tarte.
The netizens then focused on Jungwoo's "receding hairline" and became concerned that it is happening to him at a young age. In particular, the netizen who shared the photos pointed out that NCT's stylists should at least do something about it given Jungwoo's image as a K-pop idol.
While a receding hairline is common in general among men and women, most especially in men, the chances for K-pop idols to develop it is higher due to the amount of stress their hair goes through. This is from the bleaches, hair colors, the hair extensions, and more, which causes their scalp's health to lessen over time.

Netizens Defend NCT Jungwoo Over Hair Concerns
Although some have expressed their concern for Jungwoo's hair that others think could compromise his visuals, others defended the idol. In fact, many believe that this isn't that big of an issue as there are several treatments that can be done to remedy his receding hairline.
Others even recommended hair implants, which a lot of K-pop idols opt to get.
Some comments from netizens read:
"It is unrelated, but aren't idols' scalps in general in bad conditions? If you bleach and dye your hair at the same time every time, even though you go to a good hair salon, it cannot be good for your hair. That is why idols use extensions a lot. Male idols use extensions a lot too."
"His balding aside, it looks even more severe since he has a wide forehead."
"Isn't balding common among male idols? If you look at those websites, there are so many hair implant before and after photos of male celebrities. SHINee Minho and BTS V are representatives of idols getting hair implant. In the area where they get hair implant, they would fix it with a wig, extensions or wear hairbands."
"There are a lot of men with severe 'M'-shaped [hairline] among celebrities. Fortunately, celebrities have a lot of money, so they can get implants and cover it."
"It seems that his forehead has gradually gotten wider since around 2020. But I hope that you will receive treatment diligently, I support you!!"
