As we celebrate his birthday, Tatler looks back at his most stylish moments—proof that his keen eye for fashion extends far beyond the stage.
Silver hair debut at the Prada SS25
The buzz surrounding Jaehyun’s appearance at the Prada SS25 womenswear show in Milan last September 2024 was undeniable, thanks in part to his striking new silver hair. The unexpected change in colour sparked a flurry of reactions online, with many noting a resemblance to icy figures such as Jack Frost or Goju Satoru of the hit anime Jujutsu Kaisen.
An ‘easy day out’ look
The classic white tee and denim combination is a wardrobe staple, but Jaehyun adds a touch of his own flair with a Prada Raffia tote. Here, he showcases a perfectly relaxed summer day look, the bag serving as a stylish accessory.

All denim
Jaehyun rocked an effortless yet classic all-denim look for Prada Men’s spring/summer 2025 show. He paired a loose-fitting dark denim jacket with matching pants, chunky-soled boots, and stylish ochre-lensed rectangular glasses, adding a sultry twist to the Canadian tuxedo. As a global ambassador for the brand, he sat front row alongside other A-list celebrities, showcasing his 90s-inspired ensemble.
A pop of colour never hurt anybody
Though Jaehyun often favours dark, neutral hues, he occasionally surprises with a touch of colour, revealing a more playful side to his fashion sense. A green necktie and purple headpiece, for example, harmonised beautifully with his oversized blazer.
Street style in the streets of Tokyo
From sold-out concerts with NCT 127 to personal leisure, Jaehyun is a regular fixture on the streets of Japan, always looking effortlessly cool. Here, we see him in a ripped shirt, black cargo pants, and a backpack—the perfect combo for blending into the stylish Japanese crowd.
