Jeon Jung-kook, popularly known as Jungkook, is making hearts swoon with rumors of his mysterious blonde look. The one question on everyone's minds is: Has the youngest member of the South Korean boy band BTS gone blonde or is it fake news? Well, it's true. 

The 23-year-old is all set to flaunt blonde hair during his Golden Disc Awards (GDA) 2021 performance on January 10, 2021, aka Day 2! The BTS ARMY from all across the globe seems to be losing their minds in hope of witnessing an all-new avatar on stage. The anticipation only grew after Big Hit Entertainment shared a number of pictures from the event.

For the unversed, a picture from an unverified source leaked online and started circulating on January 9. In the photo, the K-pop vocalist was seen sporting long blonde hair. Although the BTS ARMY requested fans not to circulate or retweet that picture, speculations of the ‘My Time’ crooner in his new look for a much-coveted ‘Black Swan’ performance surfaced in no time. 

Now, happiness knows no bounds as the news has now been confirmed. 

Will Jungkook sport blonde hair for 'Black Swan' performance?
