BTS V’s New Hair Is Confusing Everybody

V, who has been rocking this split-dye hairstyle during BTS‘s ARIRANG world tour, has updated his look.

Right now, BTS is back in Korea, preparing to perform their Busan shows on June 12 and 13. Clips from their rehearsal appear to show V with shorter hair, dyed a new color. Fans, however, can’t seem to reach a consensus on what that color is. Some say he dyed his hair black…

Yes, Taehyung dyed his hair and got a new haircut. But the real question is…what color is it actually? The lighting and reflections have made it so confusing. 😫😩 Whatever,I can’t wait to see him slaying the new hair

…that has only been amplified by this parody account posting a viral tweet of V with blond hair. (In the original, unedited photo, V’s hair is black.)

So, is V’s hair brown, black, or something else entirely? Is this ARMY’s blue-and-black or white-and-gold dress moment? All will be revealed at BTS’s Busan concerts!

11 years ago, this dress was posted on social media causing a viral debate on whether it was blue and black or white and gold.

The phenomenon revealed differences in human color perception and became the subject of scientific investigations into neuroscience and vision science. pic.twitter.com/uctjkUKwVf
