Excitement is brewing in the K-Pop community as news of NCT 127's upcoming comeback spreads like wildfire. However, it's not just the comeback itself that's causing a stir, but rather one member's bold hair transformation that's stealing the spotlight.

On June 13 KST, a media outlet reported that NCT 127 would be making a comeback in mid-July.

If true, this would mark the sub-unit's first summer release in seven years, since "Cherry Bomb" dropped in June 2017.

What's more, this album, set to be the group's sixth full album, will notably be the first without leader Taeyong as he continues his military service.

But it's not just the news of the comeback that's grabbing attention.

Fans were taken aback when recent photos surfaced, revealing Doyoung sporting a striking silver-blond hair color.

Known for his typically dark and natural hair hues throughout his K-Pop career, the sudden change left many wondering if the photos were edited.

However, it soon became clear that Doyoung's new look is indeed real.

The NCT 127 member was spotted at the airport flaunting his platinum locks, confirming that he'd recently dyed his hair in preparation for the group's upcoming promotions.
