30 Korean Two Block Haircuts Every Guy Loves

The 30 Korean Two Block Haircuts

Save

Every version below is a Korean two block your barber will recognize with a reference photo. Numbers matter — inches on top, guard number on the hidden sides, perimeter finish — so bring all three when you sit down.

1. The Classic Korean Two Block

Save

The default shape every K-pop stylist starts from. Top runs three inches in a soft rounded cut that falls past the horseshoe. Hidden buzz on a two guard. No part, no perm, no extras. SEVENTEEN's Mingyu, EXO's Kai, and half the K-drama leading men have worn this exact shape at some point. Reads clean under a corporate dress code, K-pop under stage lighting. If this is your first two block, this is the version to book.

Best on straight hair with medium density. Every face shape.

Ask for: "Classic Korean two block, 3 inches on top, two guard on the hidden sides, horseshoe line at the temples."

Styling tip: matte cream through damp hair, blow-dry with fingers pushing forward. Two minutes total.

2. The K-Pop Idol Two Block

Save

The stage-ready version. Top runs three to four inches with a heavier front weight, blown perfectly glossy, and a sharper horseshoe line so the two blocks read even under bright lighting. This is what BTS's Jungkook and TXT's Yeonjun wear on comeback stages. The extra polish comes from finish, not from a different cut — the shape is close to the classic, but every strand is set the way the stylist put it.

Best on straight silky hair. Every face shape, though oval and heart-shaped faces read most idol-adjacent.

Ask for: "K-pop idol two block, 3 to 4 inches on top with weight at the front, two guard on the hidden sides, sharp horseshoe line."

Styling tip: paddle brush plus a drop of hair oil for gloss, then set with a light-hold spray twelve inches away.

3. The K-Drama Lead Two Block

Save

The corporate romantic-lead version. Four to five inches on top parted straight down the center, each side falling forward to frame the eyes, hidden buzz on a one guard so nothing sticks out past the covering piece. Kim Soo-hyun's frames in Queen of Tears and Cha Eun-woo's cleaner scenes both use variations. Reads office-appropriate at every angle — you can wear this to a wedding, a boardroom, or a first date.

Best on straight to slightly wavy hair. Oval, square, and heart-shaped faces.

Ask for: "K-drama lead two block, middle part, 4 to 5 inches on top with weight at the front, one guard hidden underneath, scissor-blended around the ear."

Styling tip: round brush pulling each side outward from the part while blow-drying, set with cool air, drop of light cream through the mid-lengths.

4. The Curtain-Fringe Two Block

Save

A two block base with a full curtain fringe cut into the front — top runs four to five inches so a center part drops the front into two soft panels across the forehead. V from BTS wore this through most of the Christmas Tree era. Sunghoon and Heeseung from Enhypen keep cycling variations. This is the version that photographs best on Pinterest and Instagram.

Best on straight-to-wavy hair. Long, oval, and square faces work best; round faces should keep the curtain sitting above the eyebrows.

Ask for: "Curtain-front two block, 4 to 5 inches on top parted down the middle, one guard hidden underneath, front cut long enough to fall past the brows."

Styling tip: blow-dry the fringe forward and down while wet, then split with a round brush from underneath each panel. A mist of light hairspray locks the curtains.

5. The Comma-Hair Two Block

Save

A comma haircut grafted onto a two block. Top runs three to four inches with the front section cut long enough to hold a curled comma hook toward the dominant eye. Sides stay hidden. V (Kim Taehyung) and Jimin both wore versions across BTS eras, and Riize's Wonbin runs the current sharp shape. The comma is what turns the two block from clean-cut into idol-signature.

Best on straight to lightly wavy hair. Oval, oblong, and heart-shaped faces.

Ask for: "Two block with a comma front, 3 to 4 inches on top with the front cut long enough to hold a curl, two guard hidden underneath."

Styling tip: point a one-inch round brush at your temple, roll the front section inward, hit it with cool air. Pea of curl cream to set. Ninety seconds.

6. The Middle Part Two Block

Save

The shape most people picture when they hear Korean haircut. Straight middle part, four to five inches on top, each side falling forward from the part to frame the eyes. Buzzed sides stay tucked under the curtains. NCT's Jaehyun keeps this as a signature; most K-drama male leads default to it on camera because the shape reads intentional under any lighting.

Best on oval, square, and heart-shaped faces. Round faces need extra crown volume to balance the vertical.

Ask for: "Two block with a center part, 4 to 5 inches on top, one guard hidden underneath, weight left in the front so the curtains fall."

Styling tip: blow-dry with a round brush pulling each side outward from the part, then set with cool air. Recomb the part while wet, never dry.

7. The Side-Swept Two Block

Save

Middle-part cousin with the fringe swept across the forehead to one side instead of parted down the middle. Off-center parting, three to four inches on top, hidden two guard underneath. Reads softer than a hard side part — less banker, more student. Astro's Cha Eun-woo has cycled through this exact shape between drama roles when he needs the K-pop look without the middle-part commitment.

Best on straight hair. Oval, oblong, and heart-shaped faces.

Ask for: "Side-swept two block, 3 to 4 inches on top with a soft off-center part, sweeping across the forehead to one side, two guard hidden underneath."

Styling tip: comb the top to the side while damp, blow-dry the same direction, hit with cool air. A drop of cream through the ends only, never at the roots.

8. The Brushed-Back Two Block

Save

For guys who don't want anything falling on their forehead. Three to four inches on top brushed straight back, hidden two-guard sides, front just heavy enough to hold the sweep without collapsing. The slick-back cousin of the two block family. G-Dragon and CL have both worn brushed-back variations across recent eras. Reads sharper and slightly older than the fringe versions.

Best on straight hair with medium-to-high density. Oval, square, and heart-shaped faces.

Ask for: "Brushed-back two block, 3 to 4 inches on top with the weight left at the front-crown, two guard hidden underneath, scissor-blended around the ear."

Styling tip: cream and light pomade in equal parts, round brush pulling everything back from the front, finish with a shine spray. Reset with water if it collapses.

9. The Fluffy Volume Two Block

Save

The soft-focus version — heavy top volume, no defined part, no crunchy hold. Three to four inches on top with heavy internal layering so the shape breathes rather than sitting flat. Riize and TWS wear the reference. This is what happens when the Korean two block meets Japanese cloud-hair styling. Reads younger and more approachable than the sharper variations.

Best on straight and wavy hair with medium density. Round, oval, and heart-shaped faces.

Ask for: "Fluffy two block, 3 to 4 inches on top with heavy internal layering for volume, one guard hidden underneath, softly scissor-blended around the ear."

Styling tip: volumizing mousse into damp hair, blow-dry upside-down for lift, finish right-side-up with fingers only. Skip pomade — it kills the fluff.

10. The Short Boxy Two Block

Save

The shortest version that still counts. Top runs one to one-and-a-half inches — just long enough to fall past the buzzed line and cover it. Squared perimeter across the forehead for a modern boxy silhouette. Read office-safe from the front and K-pop from the side. Most K-drama corporate leads and Korean chaebol characters wear this so the shape stays legible under fluorescent lighting.

Best on round and square faces because the low top height balances the head shape.

Ask for: "Short boxy Korean two block, 1 to 1.5 inches on top with a squared front perimeter, one guard on the sides, blended cleanly so nothing sticks out past the top."

Styling tip: a fingertip of matte cream, run front-to-back. No product on the crown — anything more weighs down the covering piece.

11. The Long Idol Two Block

Save

Top layer runs five to six inches or longer, past the eyebrows in front. The hidden buzz keeps the sides from puffing outward so all that length sits where it should — draped and heavy. Full guide on this variation lives at long two block haircut. Jungkook wore a version through the Butter era. What the two block turns into when you commit to growing it out.

Best on straight and slightly wavy hair. Tight curls at this length need a different plan.

Ask for: "Long Korean two block, 5 to 6 inches minimum on top, one guard on the sides, keep the front weight."

Styling tip: leave-in conditioner while damp, air-dry, drop of hair oil on the mid-lengths for shine. Product weighs the length down and kills movement.

12. The Overgrown Two Block

Save

A two block let out for six to eight weeks. Top pushes past five inches, buzzed sides grow into a soft scissor-blend, and the whole shape softens toward wolf-cut territory. Hyunjin, Yeonjun, and half of fourth-generation K-pop cycle through this phase between comebacks. Reads relaxed and slightly rebellious — the version to wear on off-camera days.

Best on straight-to-wavy hair with density to spare. Oval and square faces.

Ask for: "Grow-out shape from a two block — leave the sides where they are, cut only the top into layers so the length looks intentional."

Styling tip: sea salt spray, scrunch, air-dry to about ninety percent, finish with a round brush pulling the front forward.

13. The Setting Perm Two Block

Save

The Seoul default for flat-lying straight hair that won't hold volume. A regular two block plus a light setting perm at the roots only — the perm adds gentle lift so the top doesn't collapse by lunch, but the ends stay straight enough to drape. K-pop styling teams run this on almost every idol with silky straight hair. The single most useful add-on for Asian-type hair.

Best on straight hair that falls flat. Every face shape.

Ask for: "Two block with a setting perm at the roots only, 3 to 4 inches on top, two guard hidden underneath. Cut first, perm second, same appointment."

Styling tip: air-dry or diffuse on low, scrunch in a curl cream, leave the shape alone. Setting perms hold for three to four months.

14. The Wolf Perm Two Block

Save

Hyunjin from Stray Kids and Yeonjun from TXT are the reference. Two block base with hidden buzz still running under the horseshoe, but the top gets heavily layered and permed with a wolf-style wave that defines every strand. Highest-effort version on the list. Also the one with the biggest visual payoff if you commit to the maintenance. For the full wolf cut family reference, see the guide.

Best on straight hair that won't hold volume. Oval, square, and long faces.

Ask for: "Two block with a wolf perm, heavy layers through the top starting at the temples, one guard hidden underneath, light wave — not tight curl — through every layer. Cut, then perm."

Styling tip: wash-and-go. Diffuse damp hair on low, scrunch in a curl cream, leave it alone. Brushing kills the pattern within a week.

15. The C-Curl Perm Two Block

Save

A single, elegant C-shaped bend permed into the ends of the top layer. Not a full wave, not a curl — just enough of an arc that the ends flick outward and the top reads glossy without falling flat. K-drama female leads have worn C-curls forever; the men's version bends the ends of the two block front and sides inward toward the face. Reads soft and cinematic.

Best on straight hair. Oval, heart-shaped, and long faces.

Ask for: "Two block with a C-curl perm on the ends of the top layer only, 3 to 4 inches on top, two guard hidden underneath. Cut, then C-curl perm the last two inches of top length."

Styling tip: diffuse on low, then finish with a shine spray. A drop of oil on the very tips to define the curl.

16. The Water Wave Perm Two Block

Save

The wetter, more natural K-perm. Loose beachy S-waves through the top layer only, hidden two-guard sides underneath, and no defined curl pattern — just movement. Reads like you spent the summer in Jeju rather than the salon. TXT's Soobin and ATEEZ's Wooyoung both wear versions when they're between comebacks. Grows out cleaner than the wolf perm.

Best on straight to wavy hair. Oval, square, and heart-shaped faces.

Ask for: "Two block with a water wave perm, loose S-wave through the top only, 4 inches on top, two guard hidden underneath. Cut first, water wave perm second."

Styling tip: sea salt spray on damp hair, scrunch by hand, air-dry. Refresh with water and a scrunch on second-day hair.

17. The Wavy Two Block

Save

For hair with a natural bend that doesn't need a perm to build one. Your barber cuts the top with the wave pattern in mind — longer where the wave falls, shorter where it flips up — so the finish reads intentional instead of untidy. Sides go hidden as usual, one guard shorter than the straight version so the buzz doesn't peek through when the wave lifts.

Best on type 2A through 2C hair. Oval and heart-shaped faces.

Ask for: "Wavy two block, cut the top with my wave direction, 4 inches at the longest point, one guard hidden underneath."

Styling tip: sea salt spray on damp hair, scrunch, air-dry. Skip the brush entirely. Best version to wear when you skip styling.

18. The Layered Two Block

Save

Rather than one flat top length, the top layer is cut in stacked layers — shorter at the crown, longer at the front. Adds movement and depth to hair that would otherwise sit like a helmet over the hidden buzz. Suits medium-to-thick hair that has been growing out for a few months and needs some architecture built into it.

Best on straight-to-wavy hair. Oval and heart-shaped faces.

Ask for: "Two block with layers on top, 4 inches at the front stepped down to 2 inches at the crown, one guard hidden underneath."

Styling tip: blow-dry with a round brush lifting from the roots. Finish with pomade worked through the ends only, not the roots.

19. The Textured Choppy Two Block

Save

Point-cut ends across the top break up the flat helmet look you get when a two block is cut blunt. Deep guide on this variation at textured two block haircut. The textured finish keeps the covering piece moving instead of sitting like a lid. RM from BTS often wears a textured variation on off-days. Modern and slightly disheveled by design.

Best on straight, medium-to-thick hair that would otherwise fall too heavy.

Ask for: "Two block, 3 inches on top with heavy internal texture, two guard on the sides. Point-cut the top — don't blunt it."

Styling tip: matte clay through damp hair, blow-dry with the nozzle aimed down the shaft. Weight the piecey ends into the shape you want them to sit.

20. The Bowl-Cut Two Block

Save

Top layer cut on a single horizontal length skimming the eyebrows and the top of the ear — the bowl perimeter. Underneath, the sides get buzzed to hidden. When the top drops it forms a smooth circle framing the face. J-Hope from BTS ran this in 2018–2019, and every K-drama villain since has worn a variation. Not a nineties cereal bowl — a modern sculpted one.

Best on straight hair with medium-to-thick density. Angular and square face shapes.

Ask for: "Two block bowl cut, top cut on a single length skimming the eyebrows and the top of the ear, one guard hidden underneath."

Styling tip: comb the top forward while blow-drying so the perimeter stays smooth. A shine spray, not a hold product — the bowl should look sculpted, never crunchy.

21. The Side Part Two Block

Save

Cut with a firm side part built into the shape rather than styled in fresh every morning. Your barber cuts the top asymmetrically — heavier on one side, lighter on the other — so the part sits by default. Cleanest, most polished version of the two block. Reads office-ready without giving up the K-pop foundation.

Best on straight hair. Every face shape.

Ask for: "Two block with a hard side part on my left, 3 inches on the heavy side and 2 inches on the lighter side, two guard hidden underneath."

Styling tip: pomade combed strictly to shape. No fingers. Finish with a mist of light hairspray to lock the part.

22. The Brushed-Up Quiff Two Block

Save

The quiff cousin of the two block. Four inches on top brushed upward and slightly back at the front for a soft quiff, hidden two-guard sides underneath. Big Bang's Taeyang and Nu'est's JR have both worn variations. Reads bold — the quiff carries the front while the hidden layer keeps the sides quiet.

Best on straight hair with medium density. Round, square, and oval faces.

Ask for: "Quiff-front two block, 4 inches on top with the front cut long enough to brush up and back, two guard hidden underneath, scissor-blended around the ear."

Styling tip: round brush from underneath the front section while blow-drying, pomade through the roots at the front only, mist of hairspray to hold the lift.

23. The Two Block With Low Taper Fade

Save

The most conservative fade variation on the list. Hidden buzz sits at its usual guard length, but only the last inch above the ear and neckline tapers down to skin. Full guide at low taper fade. Reads professional under strict dress codes. Works for guys balancing K-pop taste with a corporate workplace.

Best on every face shape. Especially useful when your office won't tolerate a full skin fade.

Ask for: "Two block with a low taper fade, 3 inches on top, two guard hidden underneath, only the last inch fading to skin at the sideburn and neck."

Styling tip: keep the top matte and controlled — this is a subtle cut, don't push the top loud. Soft cream through the front, nothing on the crown.

24. The Two Block With Mid Fade

Save

The mid fade splits the head visually in half at the temple. Paired with a two block, it removes bulk exactly where thick straight hair fans out worst and keeps the covering piece from getting weighed down. Reads sharper than the classic hidden version, cleaner than a full skin fade. The most-requested fade-hybrid two block right now.

Best on thick straight hair with square, oval, or long faces.

Ask for: "Two block with a mid fade, 3 inches on top, blend from a two guard at the horseshoe down to skin at the ear."

Styling tip: cream and pomade in equal parts. Cream controls, pomade adds shine, together they defeat the puff thick hair produces alone.

25. The Two Block With Drop Fade

Save

The drop fade curves down behind the ear rather than running straight across the head — the fade line dips low behind the ear and rises again toward the nape. Paired with a two block top left slightly messy, it reads relaxed and asymmetrical. Sharp at the perimeter, loose everywhere else. Popular with fourth-generation idols cycling off the classic hidden version.

Best on straight-to-wavy hair with medium density. Oval, oblong, and square faces.

Ask for: "Two block with a drop fade, 3 inches on top left messy, drop the fade line behind the ear."

Styling tip: rough-dry with your fingers, no comb. Finish with matte paste twisted into random sections at the front.

26. The Two Block Skin Fade

Save

Boldest fade variation on the list. Hidden sides go all the way down to bare skin under a heavy long top. When the top covers, the shape reads as a normal two block; when the top lifts, the skin sides flash out sharply for maximum contrast. GOT7's Jackson and Mark have both worn versions in performance eras. Not a corporate cut — this is a Saturday-night version.

Best on straight hair with high density. Oval, square, and long faces.

Ask for: "Two block skin fade, 3 to 4 inches on top, skin at the sideburn and around the ear fading up to a zero guard by the horseshoe line."

Styling tip: matte clay for grip, blow-dry with fingers pushing the top forward. Skin fades need a touch-up every two weeks — book it before you leave.

27. The Two Block Undercut

Save

The line between the two blocks is sharp and disconnected — no blend, no fade, no taper. A single clipper guard runs straight down from the horseshoe line to the skin. ATEEZ's San wears the sharp reference. The top still covers at rest, but when it moves you see a hard visible edge. Compare with the softer undercut fade if you want the shape without the disconnection.

Best on straight hair with strong density. Angular, square, and oval faces.

Ask for: "Two block undercut, hard line at the temple, one guard straight down all the way around. No blend."

Styling tip: keep the top polished — the disconnection carries the edge, don't add more with messy product.

28. The Two Block Burst Fade

Save

A burst fade shaped like a semicircle radiating out from the ear, paired with a two block top left three inches long. Reads modern and slightly aggressive — the fade shape carries the visual, the top just needs to cover. Popular with fourth-gen boy groups when they want the two block to read louder than the classic hidden version. Also the version that best hides an outgrowing horseshoe line.

Best on straight-to-wavy hair with medium density. Oval, square, and heart-shaped faces.

Ask for: "Two block with a burst fade around the ear, 3 inches on top, one guard at the horseshoe fading to skin in a semicircle around the ear."

Styling tip: matte paste twisted into the front for texture, leave the crown flat so the fade shape reads clearly.

29. The Two Block Mullet

Save

Two block up top, Korean mullet down the back. Hidden buzz wraps around the sides only, then the length in the back grows past your collar in a soft shag. Bang Chan from Stray Kids cycles through variations across recent albums; jay-jo style mullets take this same base further. Reads bold — a statement cut, not a safe one.

Best on straight-to-wavy hair. Confident wearers with oval or oblong faces.

Ask for: "Two block on the sides, two guard, keep the back long past the collar and disconnected from the sides."

Styling tip: sea salt spray on the length, scrunch by hand, air-dry. Don't blow-dry the tail — it goes fluffy. A light wave perm through the back makes it read Korean instead of American 80s.

30. The Bleached Blonde Korean Two Block

Save

The K-pop comeback classic. Full double-bleach process to lift the top layer to a platinum or icy-blonde tone while the hidden sides get bleached shorter and tighter. Every generation of idols has had a blonde-two-block era — Suga, Taehyung, Yeonjun, Sunghoon. Requires monthly root touch-ups and a purple shampoo cycle. The most-committed styling choice on this list — bleach damages Asian hair fast, so book a Korean-owned salon.

Best on healthy straight hair with no prior chemical damage. Any face shape once the tone flatters your skin.

Ask for: "Bleached blonde two block, 3 to 4 inches on top double-bleached to platinum, two guard on the hidden sides, toned to icy blonde."

Styling tip: purple shampoo twice a week to hold tone, weekly hair mask to fight brittleness. Air-dry when possible — heat cooks the bleached fibers.

How to Ask Your Barber

Save

Korean-cut vocabulary doesn't always translate cleanly at a non-Korean barbershop. This is the script that gets you the version you had in mind:

1. Bring three reference photos. Front, side, and three-quarter of the exact variation. One photo leaves too much to interpretation; three photos remove it.
2. Say "two block" and point to the horseshoe line. Touch your temple where you want the hidden line to sit. Most barbers know the term now, but the horseshoe placement is the visual that removes ambiguity.
3. Give the top length in inches, not adjectives. "Four inches on top" is unambiguous. "Medium" is not.
4. Give the side guard number. One, two, or three. Say it out loud with the number.
5. Specify the perimeter finish. "Scissor-blended around the ear" for the clean Korean look. "Taper fade" or "low taper" for the fade hybrids. "Hard-line undercut" for the disconnected version.
6. Mention any perm you want. Setting perm, C-curl, water wave, or wolf. Most non-Korean barbers won't offer, but many can arrange it — cut first, perm second, same appointment.
7. Book the follow-up before you leave. 3 weeks for short and undercut versions, 4 to 5 weeks for medium tops, 6 to 8 weeks for long and overgrown.

Styling and Maintenance

Save

The two block does most of its work in the barber's chair. Home styling should be minimal — the shape is the shape whether you touch it or not — but five habits keep the covering piece falling correctly.

Wash and rough-dry first. Rough-dry until your hair is damp, not wet. Product goes in damp — soaking wet dilutes it, dry hair fights it. A sulfate-free shampoo twice a week for oily scalps, once for dry. Skip silicones on any permed variation — they coat the curl and drop the pattern within a week.

Blow-dry the direction you want it to sit. Point the nozzle down the shaft. Push the top forward, to a side, to a center part, or straight back depending on which variation you're wearing. This step is eighty percent of the finish. Two minutes with a hairdryer beats ten minutes of product every time.

Match the product to the finish. Matte clay for textured and classic versions. A curl cream hooks the comma and holds the middle-part curve. A light pomade adds shine to the sleek and side-part versions. A sea salt spray builds the wolf, wavy, and mullet texture. If you're on wavy hair, the right styling products for wavy hair matter more than the cut technique. One product, small amount — Korean styling is subtractive, not additive.

Set with a light-hold spray, never a strong-hold one. Korean cuts should read intentional, not lacquered. A mist from twelve inches away locks the shape without freezing it. Skip aerosol on any variation you want to reshape during the day.

Keep the hidden layer clean between cuts. The buzzed second block is what makes the two block a two block. As soon as it grows past a fingernail's length, the top stops covering cleanly and the shape starts reading soft. A clipper touch-up at week two — home or barbershop — stretches every cut an extra week. A solid pair of clippers makes home touch-ups worth doing rather than dreading.

Sleep on it right. A silk or satin pillowcase saves the round-brush work overnight, especially on permed styles. Guys with wolf or C-curl perms should skip touching the shape between washes — every hand-run drops the curl a little.

FAQ

Which Korean two block reads most professional?

The short boxy version, the side-part two block, and the two block with a low taper fade all read office-appropriate. Keep the top under three inches and the sides scissor-blended or subtly tapered. A full skin fade or bleached top will always read louder in a corporate setting than the clean hidden classic.

Is the Korean two block outdated in 2026?

Not even close. It's the base template every K-pop comeback still builds on, and Seoul barbers keep adding variations — the fluffy volume, water wave perm, and burst-fade versions are all 2025–2026 refinements. The classic hidden version reads modern. Only the sharp early-2010s undercut variations look dated.

Can I get a Korean two block on wavy or curly hair?

Yes, with two tweaks. Leave the top longer than you would on straight hair so gravity drops the wave or curl over the buzzed layer. And go slightly shorter on the hidden block — half or one guard — so the buzz doesn't peek through when the top lifts and the pattern flexes.

How much does a Korean two block cost outside Korea?

$40–$80 at most Western barbershops for the cut alone. Korean-owned salons in the US charge $60–$120 for a cut, plus $150–$300 more for a setting or wolf perm. Prices climb in New York, LA, and Toronto Koreatowns; drop in smaller cities. The perm is where cost and craft actually differ.

Do I need to be a K-pop fan to wear this cut?

No. The shape has traveled well past K-pop — Korean and Japanese executives, athletes, and students wear cleaner variations, and the two block has become one of the most versatile modern men's haircuts globally. If you like the drape and the hidden buzz, ask for it. The idol references are useful to hand your barber, not required to earn the cut.

Which K-pop group has the best two block references right now?

Enhypen, Riize, and Stray Kids give the widest range in 2026 — curtain, comma, fluffy, wolf perm, and mullet variations all appear across recent comebacks. TXT and TWS run the softer fluffy versions. NCT and ATEEZ cover the sharper undercut and disconnected shapes. Screenshot from music-show performance footage rather than concept photos — the stage lighting shows the shape more accurately than the airbrushed comeback shots.
