BTS V’s New Hair Color Sparks Confusion Among Fans

V is stirring up hair color confusion ahead of BTS’s Busan concerts.
The BTS member, known for his split-dye hairstyle during the ARIRANG world tour, has switched up his look again. Now back in Korea preparing for the June 12 and 13 Busan shows, V was spotted in rehearsal with shorter hair dyed a new color.
Fans are divided on what that color actually is. Some say V 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
And Of course, I’m going to miss the Oreo hair so bad

Adding to the frenzy, a parody account posted a viral tweet showing V with completely blond hair — a clearly edited photo, since the original shows his hair as black.

Is V’s hair black, brown, or something else? Fans are calling this the ARMY version of the infamous blue-and-black or white-and-gold dress debate.
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.
