Happy St. Patrick’s Day: 15 K-pop Idols with Green Hair

St. Patrick’s Day is not celebrated here in Korea, so don’t expect to see your favorite celebrities dolled up in green sweaters or four-leaf clover T-shirts. But the world of K-pop is nothing if not colorful, so if you’re wishing to see green, you totally can… because as we all know, it’s all in the hair. Granted, green is not a common choice for K-pop hair, but some brave idols have dared to dye their hair in shades of emerald or chartreuse, while others have sported green as part of the natural fading process from blue to blond. Here we bring you a gallery of green-haired K-pop idols, which we sincerely hope you will enjoy, preferably while drinking green beer or maybe just a shamrock milkshake at McDonald’s.

2NE1’s Dara

Shade: Emerald green

Verdict: As green as you can get.

4minute’s Jiyoon

Shade: Black, sea green, blond

Verdict: A totally unexpected way to go green. We love it with the red lips!

B.A.P’s Himchan

Shade: Peridot green

Verdict: Hard to tell. As far as we know, Himchan’s foray into green was limited to this one selfie which he posted on Twitter. Seems like he pulls it off pretty well.

Girls’ Generation’s Sunny

Shade: Platinum and pale green

Verdict: Barely there green.

SHINee’s Key

Shade: Acid green

Verdict: Yeah, we suppose that Key seems more like a soft green kind of guy, if that made any sense at all.

G-Dragon (Part I)

Shade: Emerald green

Verdict: Yeah, it’s green. But this is GD we’re talking about, which means…

G-Dragon (Part II)

Red Velvet’s Joy

Shade: Black, emerald

Verdict: We loved Red Velvet’s two-toned hair! (To be honest, it made it easier to differentiate the girls, since they were rookies at the time.)

EXO’s Sehun

Shade: Bright, bright green… maybe even vegetable green.

Verdict: Okay, we change our minds about Dara. This is as green as you can get. Did he pick the background, or was that just a happy coincidence?

2NE1’s Park Bom

Shade: Teal

Verdict: It looked green when we were first picking out photos, but after Sehun, this doesn’t even register. But it is very artistic.
