Kangta is shaved and ready for the army

20080401kangta

H.O.T ex-member, Kangta is army ready with his newly shaved head. Female fans showed up to support their ajusshi as he begins his 2 year stint in the military.

Generally, military service will make the boys into men. But in Kangta’s case, it will be ajusshi into ajusshi. In other words, no difference.

Kangta released a new album, “Eternity” in mid-march and finished off with a 2 day concert at Yonsei University.

Good luck.

    I hope Choi ShiWon does NOT turn out like that…yikes.

    ^^ Lol @ comment above. :-)

    P.S.–Is it true that Choi Siwon is enlisting THIS year after Suju ends their tour and records their next album?

  6. 6 Taejus April 2, 2008 at 9:12 am

    ^ Yes me too, that’d be awful some.

    ——-

    he cut his hair!! wow! i just saw him WITH hair some time ago…

    Gross!!!

    >_<

  8. 8 a guest April 2, 2008 at 9:14 am

    ^ I was thinking that same thing! (I bet Siwon is shuddering at this right now.) Seriously, though. I’ve seen a lot worse transformations.

  9. 9 a guest April 2, 2008 at 9:15 am

    (replying to Taejus, i mean)

  12. 12 chocolate raisins April 2, 2008 at 9:25 am

    teeheehee he looks like an alien haha he used to be sooo cute!!! *sigh*

  13. 13 Lily April 2, 2008 at 9:26 am

    good bye kangta!

    btw, he reminds me of Stewie from Family guy.

  14. 14 ohgeeze. April 2, 2008 at 9:26 am

    LOL.

    at the Stewie comment.
    He does look like him!

    He’s aged a lot.

  15. 15 kanZENmuketsu April 2, 2008 at 9:29 am

    trimming a CROWN full of long HAIR
    to a minimum is painfully LIBERATING;
    but a two-year military service
    passes by rather QUICKLY.

    so hang in there, Kang Ta!

  16. 16 Leigh April 2, 2008 at 9:33 am

    So that’s what he looks like without the makeup…

  17. 17 KyuMin April 2, 2008 at 9:35 am

    see Ya in 2 year KangTa!!!! >.<

  18. 18 김태신KoreanTommy April 2, 2008 at 9:46 am

    hahaha he looks so evil

    -태신

  19. 19 xmissy April 2, 2008 at 9:49 am

    im looking forward to see what he looks like in two years.
    good luck in the military kangta (=

  20. 20 oy April 2, 2008 at 10:03 am

    DAYUM!

    i mean, he’s not even THAT old.. but… what happened!!!

  21. 21 xxxDBSKxxx April 2, 2008 at 10:13 am

    Is it just me or does KangTa look like he gained weight on his face? His face looks so bloated to me. Almost like a chipmunk… o.O

  22. 22 bu0nr0ithisa0 April 2, 2008 at 10:15 am

    omg…he looks like my English English-teacher.

  23. 23 Brina April 2, 2008 at 10:22 am

    I never understood this guy’s appeal. He looks like some old Korean guy.

  24. 24 m2m2m2m2m2 April 2, 2008 at 10:25 am

    man his ugly. he was hiding behind his hair all this time, haha

  25. 25 romele April 2, 2008 at 10:28 am

    he does’nt look old,he is old.

  26. 26 xiahnsaya1004 April 2, 2008 at 10:29 am

    Dude, for me even if he did age a bit and did kind of gain weight a bit he still looks fine, just the hair doesnt do it for me, he needs his head filled with hair. I feel bad he has to go to the army but he better be careful I know he will do well serving his country.

    What was that about si won joining the army !!! This early wtf most people wait til they are older he cant just go like that into the army…unless like kangta or some other artists you have to because you are old already.. 28 i mean

  27. 27 soju April 2, 2008 at 10:31 am

    soju wonders what desk job the army will have him doing ….

  28. 28 oluchi April 2, 2008 at 10:40 am

    “But in Kangta’s case, it will be ajusshi into ajusshi.”

    LMAO.

  29. 29 WillIRememberMe April 2, 2008 at 10:43 am

    Wow you guys are harsh on someone your older sisters were basically drooling over, a decade ago.

    The man looks a little off right now. But don’t start rapping on who he used to be like you’re trying to disown the man’s past and pretend he was some ugly bozo to begin with. I mean let a guy preserve his legacy for god’s sake! I see the skinny dudes you girls squeal over today and they’re just like who Kangta was so what’s the whole point anyway.

  30. 30 WillIRememberMe April 2, 2008 at 10:47 am

    Oh just to clarify, I was responding to posters like Brina. Defend the old people!

  31. 31 soohyun3194 April 2, 2008 at 11:14 am

    he looks sooo different >..<
    not yet.

  32. 32 Angie April 2, 2008 at 11:37 am

    yikes…aging and that hairdo DO NOT do him justice lol. poor guy! good luck !

  33. 33 asianromance April 2, 2008 at 11:41 am

    ahh he used to look so hot! I wonder if it’s all that smoking….maybe the army will shape him up and make his face less bloated!

  34. 34 Jill April 2, 2008 at 11:53 am

    He will come out a real man..he’s so sissy looking all this time..Good luck Kangta!

  35. 35 Sadstory April 2, 2008 at 12:08 pm

    He’s still young “only 29″, but his face looks “old”. Unlike other Korean male actors, such as Song Seung Heun or Wonbin -Kangta doesn’t age well.

  36. 36 omg April 2, 2008 at 12:31 pm

    he looks…special><

  37. 37 secretivesoul April 2, 2008 at 12:55 pm

    Wow…the difference hair makes on him is really huge, isn’t it? With so little, he seems a lot older. It takes away the face shape we’ve seen for so long. <<;

    In general though, he has looked a lot older than he is for a while, but I don’t think he looks all that bad. He looks tired here, and also…no makeup before military. @__@ And we all know how the stars need that.

  38. 38 Taejus April 2, 2008 at 12:56 pm

    PLEASE SHIWON!! PLEASE!!! FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR FANS, DON’T EVER GET A HAIRCUT LIKE KANGTA! LOOK AT HOW HE CAME OUT. U GUYS ARE PRACTICALLY TWINS, JUST THINK IF YOU DO THE SAME THING!!

    ;)

  39. 39 Fleep♥ April 2, 2008 at 1:25 pm

    is there a time in a korean mans life where they go from good looking to weird?

  40. 40 B April 2, 2008 at 1:29 pm

    lol

    I REALLY REALLY like Kangta … but that pic is just … YUCK ! He really is getting old ! D: I remember when I was in elementary school and they came out … Back then, these oppas were all so adorable ! :D

  41. 41 Ann*e April 2, 2008 at 1:45 pm

    aw.
    yeah i agree, he used to be cute. lol. >_<

  42. 42 kate0423 April 2, 2008 at 2:02 pm

    I’ve been reading 2 to 3 years ago that he’ll be entering military service at last he will fulfull his military service. How about the Shinhwa boys? Too much delay also.

  43. 43 cindy April 2, 2008 at 2:15 pm

    ew. sorry but his face even before the haircut looked weird now its even worse. he does look like an ajusshi.

  44. 44 Natz April 2, 2008 at 3:21 pm

    Wow he looks bloated. =X

  45. 45 Rachael April 2, 2008 at 3:26 pm

    at least he’s not trying to weasel out. :)

  46. 46 Rice April 2, 2008 at 4:32 pm

    oh goodness…

  47. 47 biatch April 2, 2008 at 5:39 pm

    Kangta~~ Comeback soon!

    So many good stars leaving. ._.

  48. 48 Chink April 2, 2008 at 6:16 pm

    looks cute LMAO xD

  49. 49 han April 2, 2008 at 6:57 pm

    he looks..

  50. 50 ruthhh April 2, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    He still looks charming to me.

    And Siwon does not resemble Kangta AT ALL.

    Everyone ages. It’s a wonder if one is under LSM and is not overworked.

  51. 51 moo April 2, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    Hair does make a LOT of difference! Haha

    So now we know. It’s the not the face. It’s the hair.

    They either make you or kill you. LOL.

    The same thing applied to Gong Yoo as well. He was uber hot with hair. Without hair, erm, -sighs-

    but i still love my korean boys anw (ahjusshi or not).

    Good luck to Kangta! I’d be waiting for his comeback in 2 years!

    Hwaiting.

  52. 52 Yuri April 2, 2008 at 8:19 pm

    should stop being mean to KangTa…
    anyway..wish him all the best in da army..
    and we will all miss you..!!
    Aja Aja!!

  53. 53 Mo April 2, 2008 at 8:33 pm

    omg… he used to be sooo…. cute! gone are the youth and the misty eyes… to think about it… he does look like his father now… oh no… what would yunho turn into in 10 years? aaahhh!

  54. 54 Aikyrie April 3, 2008 at 12:17 am

    He looks like this geeky korean kid I know :X

  55. 55 Song April 3, 2008 at 1:37 am

    Aww, i wish him the very best, i love him, he still looks nice in his new cut hair, Go Kangta, love you always!!!!!!!

  56. 56 geekgirl April 3, 2008 at 2:33 am

    Looks doesn’t matter … he’s still an awesome talent! And seeing as to how no one here wants him anymore because he “USED to be cute” … KangTa … come back to ME in two years!! Fighting!

  57. 57 rosetta16 April 3, 2008 at 4:05 am

    Kagta we will miss you FIGHTING!!!!!

  58. 58 haj April 3, 2008 at 4:50 am

    lol ajushi to ajushi

  59. 59 Alysia April 3, 2008 at 6:30 am

    …I STILL want to pinch his cheeks. Even with THAT hair.

    Oh god, I’m just imagining someone like Kim Jeong Hoon going off for service. >_< Kangta definitely has a better look. (no offense to any KJH fans, I love him, but seriously… ;)

  60. 60 what the... April 3, 2008 at 7:15 am

    omg his head is huge

  61. 61 millie April 3, 2008 at 7:42 am

    i like his songs and all, but this new ajjushi side of him is knida freaky…idk why ppl still like him…
    you never know, but the military experience might turn hin into a ajjushi ot a harabuhji (no offense kangta)
    anyways, wish him luck because he’s gonna need it

  62. 62 soju April 3, 2008 at 8:22 am

    ^ you don’t know why people still like him???? you mean to tell me that people should change their minds about someone the second they turn a certain age?

    amazing …..

  63. 63 megane April 3, 2008 at 11:09 am

    …idols come and go…you can’t be cute forever…it’s his talent not his looks that’s important…and very few in the industry have that…he’s one of a kind.
    Kangta will always make beautiful music for everyone who loves him…

  64. 64 Ewie April 3, 2008 at 11:34 am

    lol his bulge! @_@

  65. 65 Kawaiicherry April 3, 2008 at 12:58 pm

    lol shaved head.

    good luck in the army!

  66. 66 jasmine April 3, 2008 at 5:43 pm

    i think it’s all because of the weight..god give him a break he is going to starve there basically..-__-
    I wish him good luck ^^

  67. 67 Gaby April 4, 2008 at 12:27 pm

    A lot of these celebs are hot but once they go into military they aren’t anymore.

  68. 68 ummm April 4, 2008 at 2:48 pm
