DXMON consists of five Korean members — Minjae, Hee, TK, Rex and Jo — alongside one Japanese member, Seita.
But even as an enthusiastic rookie band, the unusual hairstyle had caught them off guard.
“I believe it was our CEO who first suggested the idea,” Jo, the youngest member of the group, said.
“I thought it was eye-catching, but I didn’t expect that hairstyle to land on my head. I was initially worried that the hairstyle wouldn’t fit my style [… ] but it slowly grew on me as I tried it and got used to it. I think it even ended up boosting my confidence.」
Jo shared that his”spiky hair”takes an hour and a half for their hair stylists to prepare every time.

The hairstyle is not the only thing that makes DXMON stand out, as the band’s choreography, too, is eye-catching with its complex dance moves.
“There’s a move where Jo does a backflip and lands on the ground; I think we practiced that move 200 or 300 times over,” Rex said.
“We shot many videos of ourselves practicing [… ] which is full of moments where we fall over.”
“No matter what other kinds of special hairstyles we try in the future, we will embrace them, and that applies not just to Jo and Hee, but everyone here; I hope you look forward to our future activities,” Minjae said.
