Vote for your favorite K-pop idols with blonde hair.

Hairstyles in K-pop sometimes have just as much influence as the actual music does. Fans look forward to seeing what new color their favorite artist is planning to don for a new comeback - to the point where letting a new hair color slip is considered to be a “spoiler” by some. With changing of hairstyles being so common, there are many idols who eventually try their hand at lightening their hair all the way to a blonde shade.

While most K-pop idols pull off blonde hair well, there are some that do more than just pull it off. These are the idols who look so good in blonde, they might as well call it their natural hair color. Idols like Blackpink's Rosé, Seventeen's Jeonghan, and soloist Jeon Somi are often cited for being the best looking K-pop idols with blonde hair.

On this list we're looking at all the K-pop artists who absolutely slay the blonde look. Vote for the idols who you think look the best as blondes below!
