If you like a clean and straightforward style, try the Short Korean French Crop. This smart cut features a subtly layered fringe and a tapered side fade. It’s low-maintenance—just brush the top forward for a charming, easy look. Simple and effortless!
The two-block haircut with bangs is a standout trend in Korean men’s hairstyles, popularized by K-pop idols from BTS, TXT, Stray Kids, and Monsta-X. This style features longer hair on top with bangs trimmed just above the eyebrows, while the sides and back are kept short. To enhance the look, add some choppy layers to your bangs for extra texture. For added volume and lift, try using GATSBY Meta Rubber Wax Hard. It’s a fresh, stylish choice that anyone can rock!
If you have thick, voluminous hair, the Korean Side Swept Hard Part might be your ideal style.

This cut will give you a sleek, K-drama star appearance!
Looking for a hairstyle that stands out? Try the Korean Quiff with a Disconnected Undercut. Perfect for wavy hair, this style features a quiff that’s styled up and away, with a short, faded undercut on the sides. The sharp contrast between the voluminous top and the clean undercut gives a bold look.
Curtain hair is all about styling your long fringe to part neatly in the center and flow to the sides of your face. Often seen on BTS’s Jimin and K-drama stars like Nam Joo Hyuk, this look suits slightly wavy hair. For a sleek, center part, try a gel-wax mix to keep your curtain bangs in place with a touch of airy volume.
One of the trendiest Korean hairstyles right now is the wet hair look. Try out an ‘Out of the Shower’ Bowl Cut with Wet Bangs, just like BTS member V. This style features a textured bowl cut with a smooth fade, perfectly framing your face and giving off a cool, effortless vibe. To achieve that glossy, wet finish, use a lightweight, non-sticky wax for a natural shine.
A Korean-style wavy perm adds beautiful texture to your hair, reminiscent of the stylish waves seen on K-drama stars like Gong Yoo, Lee Jong Suk, and Park Bo Gum. This chic look is perfect for creating a subtle, wavy effect with long layers. After blow-drying, use GATSBY Sea Salt Wax Textured Mat to maintain those lovely waves.
Love long hair and craving a bold new look? Try the Slicked Back Long Undercut with Parting! This edgy style features high shaved sides and a defined part that separates your sleek, slicked-back hair from the undercut. Brush your hair back and use a strong hold wax to keep everything perfectly in place.
Love it or not, the mullet is making a comeback in the K-pop scene. Idols like EXO’s Baekhyun, NCT’s Taeyong, and Winner’s Mino have rocked the Modern Mullet with style. This cut, short on top and longer at the back, gives off a cool, retro vibe. For a lighter look, ask your barber for lots of texture and layers. If you prefer a relaxed style, keep it loose and slightly messy.
Koreans are leading the way with exciting hair trends and bold colors in Asia. If you’re looking to switch up your look, why not try a new hair color?
