BTS are doing a lot of things right — the music, the dancing, the charm, and let's not forget about the hair. The powerhouse K-pop group — consisting of RM, Jin, Jimin, J-Hope, Suga, V, and Jungkook — are known for their various hair looks and love of rainbow colors. They aren't afraid to dabble in the brightest of brights or the palest of pastels. It seems like every time we turn around, they've got new hair colors to match their killer fashion sense, always keeping fans on their toes.
Still, while the band has a flair for hair, not everyone is rocking the bold colors on the regular. Worldwide Handsome, also known as Jin, probably changes up his hair the least, usually sticking with his natural dark shade or a natural-looking lighter color. On the opposite end of the spectrum are RM, Jimin, V, and Suga, who color their hair pretty much constantly. They all usually opt for a blond shade between colors to give their hair a rest and to get fans ready for what might be next. J-Hope also colors his hair pretty often, though perhaps not as much as the others. Jungkook falls somewhere in the middle — sometimes changing things up, but not usually as drastically as the bright yellows, pinks, and blues that the other guys are doing. Then again, he did recently go blond, and, well, it was a big deal.
Ahead, see some of our favorite BTS hair colors from the past few years, including the funky rainbow shades and sleek, in-between looks.
Jimin's copper hair color at a press conference in 2015 was rich and vibrant.
V did a peekaboo bang back in 2015, with just a pop of green at his forehead.
At a 2015 press conference, RM rocked not only pink hair but also a shaved undercut.
This hair of Suga's was both pastel and nearly neon, making it ultrafunky.
Jimin's hair at a press conference in 2015 was a perfect blend of red, orange, copper, and bronze.
Jimin's golden-yellow hair on a red carpet in 2016 really popped against his dark suit.
It's hard to tell exactly what color Jungkook's hair was at this award show in 2016, but it was just different enough from his usual to stand out.
Both Jimin and J-Hope rocked pink hues to an award show in 2017. But whereas Jimin's hair was a soft pink, J-Hope's was blended with shades of gray for more pizzazz.
Suga's platinum-blond hair on Christmas Day in 2017 was bright and sleek.
RM's peach hair at a press conference in 2017 was subtle and almost blond.
Suga matched the theme of the band's album Love Yourself: Her, which is what they were promoting at this event where he had lavender hair.
V's bold pink hair at a 2018 award show both complemented the red carpet's backdrop and stood out.
At an award show in 2018, Jimin stepped out with his hair tinted an icy bluish-silver shade. It's possible it was a fade from another color, but the iciness was eye-catching on its own.
J-Hope's red hair at the beginning of 2018 was very natural looking.
For a 2018 award show, RM rolled up with bright purple hair.
When bright colors fade, you end up with shades like this peach V had at an event at the end of 2018.
V's hair at the 2019 Grammys was a pretty pastel greenish-blue shade. It also had plenty of dimension from the differing color woven throughout.
Both Suga and V had rainbow hair on this outing. Suga's was a dark purple, whereas V's was the brightest shade of blue.
Jimin rocked a peachy-pink shade at a press conference for the band's new album in 2019.
Suga's grayish-purple shade at a press conference in 2019 was subtle but cool.
RM dunked the ends of his hair in a cool lavender shade in early 2019. With this peekaboo approach, you could still see some of his platinum shining through.
V went for a bright blue shade at a 2019 press conference.
Every so often, V goes back to a nice blond base — before putting more color on it. He had a clean slate at this award show in 2019.
RM loves to dabble in color, but he goes back to platinum every so often, like he did here in late 2019.
At an award show in 2019, Jungkook dipped the ends of his hair in a deep-red color.
Jungkook had an ombré copper-to-black look at a photocall in 2020.
RM had silvery-gray hair at a press conference in late 2020.
Jimin's blond hair in 2020 was anything but basic. He also had a slight shadow root that made his hair look just this side of too grown out.
For the "Butter" press conference, RM's hair was a very chic two-toned moment, with shades of pink and mauve.
To match their new song "Butter," J-Hope walked out to this 2021 press conference with bright yellow hair.
