The members of (G)I-DLE have kindly confirmed it - all five members have gone blonde for their 5th mini album, 'I Love'!
Shortly after the release of (G)I-DLE's enticing new teasers, some fans were curious over whether or not all five members dyed their hairs blonde, or if some of the members were wearing wigs.
Then, on September 30, the members of (G)I-DLE appeared at Incheon International Airport on their way to Singapore for the next stop in their ongoing world tour, 'JUST ME ( )I-DLE'! At the airport, the members greeted fans and the press with warm smiles, and also confirmed that they were all, in fact, blonde... well except Shuhua.
Now, as for Shuhua, despite her best attempts to cover up her new hair in a hat and a loose hoodie, what ultimately gave it away was... her dyed eyebrows!
But another thing that intrigued netizens further was why the (G)I-DLE members seem to be trying to "hide" their hair colors in the first place!
Some commented,
"But why are they trying so halfheartedly to hide it kekekekeke. Just take your hoodies off, aren't you guys hot kekekekekeke."
"Shuhua, aren't you sweating kekekekeke."
"We all saw the teaser so why are they all wearing their hoods like that's going to do anything kekekekeke."
"I'm dying to know how they managed to convince Shuhua to dye her hair kekekekeke."
"Shuhua dyed her hair???? OMG."
"I can't wait to see blonde Shuhua on stage!"
"Why is Shuhua the only one trying to hide it kekekekeke."
"I still can't believe they got Shuhua to dye her hair."
Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE's 5th mini album 'I Love', featuring the title track "Nxde", is set for release on October 17 at 6 PM KST.
I just hope the process wasn't too difficult for her scalp. Even by the standard genetics of Asians having thicker hair shafts, Shuhua has A LOT of hair. Considering that she also has never dyed it until this point, I imagine it was likely a long process that took multiple courses to get it to that platinum color.
