Although fans have gotten used to Jungkook's military service for nearly a year, every time we mentioned, his absence is truly a sadness. In particular, the time when he began his military service was an emotional torture, not only for fans but also for those who worked with him for many years.
At that time, BTS's veteran hairstylist - Park Nae Joo surprised ARMYs by sharing that he cried when shaving Jungkook's head. Many fans were curious about what made him so emotional and how close their relationship was?
And fans' curiosity was answered in the recent <JUNG KOOK: I AM STILL> THE ORIGINAL on Disney:
ARMYs are definitely familiar with the "shaved head" because of BTS members' military enlistment. In South кσяєα and some other countries, shaving your head is a mandatory rule for those who are performing military service. There are many reasons for this "military hairstyle", but the main purpose is to achieve 'maximum efficiency' when hair does not get in the way during training and combat.
Around December last year, Jungkook officially experienced this hairstyle. At first, he was determined to hide his hairstyle in a hat every time he appeared in front of fans. Before Jungkook, Jin and j-hope had boldly shared pictures of themselves shaving their heads, which made fans excited. However, in the case of the Golden Maknae, he was quite shy to reveal his "egghead style".
However, in an episode of <JUNG KOOK: I AM STILL> THE ORIGINAL, he was willing to share the entire behind-the-scenes moment when he shaved his head. In the video, fans can see how hilarious it was. But what's more remarkable is that the process of creating this iconic hairstyle is much more meaningful and emotional.
Specifically, hair stylist Park Nae Joo couldn't hold back his tears after finishing Jungkook's hairstyle. Jungkook even had to hug and comfort him. It's worth mentioning that even though Jungkook was the one whose head was shaved, he didn't cry at all. Meanwhile, the veteran hair stylist burst into tears, showing that their relationship is very good.
Looking back at their history of working together, ARMYs realized that Park Nae Joo's feelings were well-founded. He has been a veteran hair stylist for all BTS members since their debut in 2013. In particular, it can be said that he did his hair from the age of 16 to shave his hair for the military at the age of 26. He has witnessed the growth of the group's youngest member for 10 years, and that's why he was emotional.
In December last year, famous hair stylist Park Nae Joo shared a photo of Jungkook's autographed album. The words Jungkook left on it: "Now~! So cool! I had so much fun on my promotion thanks to you. Thank you for crying", made ARMYs curious about what made him cry. Now, this question has been clarified!
Meanwhile, Park Nae Joo is known as the hair stylist most loved by Kpop artists. He is the owner of the famous hair salon Bit&Boot and has many famous customers coming here, including K-Pop groups such as TWICE, NCT, TXT... Park Nae Joo was also responsible for styling Jungkook's hair when he was promoting the album GOLDEN.
However, just a short time later, Jungkook met Park Nae Joo and asked him to shave his head for his military enlistment. Jungkook's request touched the hair stylist and most of all, saying goodbye to him after a long time working together made him emotional and tearful:
