Pink hair is having its heyday in the K-pop industry, which has long been known for its bright and attention-grabbing fashion choices.

No hair color is off-limits in K-pop, but pink appears to be a particularly trending color, with singers recently seen sporting hairdos ranging from marshmallow to fuchsia shades.

Vogue magazine in Korea is also proclaiming that pink hair color is “‘in’ this summer,” with a feature slated to be published in its next July issue.
