One of the famous subcultures that are prevalent in Japan is male host entertainment. "Hosuto Kurabu," or the male host club, are nightclubs in Japan that provide male entertainment and companionship to women at these nightclubs.

These nightclubs are located in the mecca of the nightlife in Japan and house many male hosts who are there to provide various entertainment to women. These men not only provide entertainment to the women but also companionship for them. This male host culture is a large culture, and the most popular male hosts are even featured in magazines dedicated to these male entertainers.


In the past, these hosts would have long hair that would be styled a certain way, but these days, Korean netizens have noticed that the Japanese male hosts' styling has changed dramatically, and they are styled more like K-pop idols.

Korean netizens commented, "They look so much better than a long time ago," "They really changed their style to look more like K-pop idols," "They now really look like they belong in 2020," "They look better than Japanese idols," "I think they would do better as idols in Japan," "These guys look more like idols than the Japanese idols," "They're styling did get much better," "They have an NCT and BTS vibe," "If you told me they were K-pop trainees I would believe you," "Korean idol styling is the best," and "They look so much better."

To be fair the photos of those Japanese idols are old. If you watch Super Junior in 2005-2007 you could see them with those hairstyles too. Fashion comes and goes. It's just like that.

Its interesting because early kpop hair for men was heavily based on jpop trends, and now the role is reversing. This type of style is also very popular in china too
