ROK Army May Update Haircut Policies for Men and Women Soldiers
Maybe we will see some boyband haircuts in the ROK Army:
The South Korean military is considering changes to “eliminate differences” in hair regulations between male officers and enlisted service members, a move welcomed by a human rights organization in the country.
Grooming standards vary across the ranks and branches. In the navy, for example, male officers may choose between a crew cut, with hair no longer than 2 inches from the front and 1.18 inches from the top; or a standard cut with a side part extending up to 3.15 inches long.
Meanwhile, male enlisted sailors are limited to a crew cut.
In the South Korean air force, noncommissioned officers may part their hair “neatly” or wear a crew cut.
Women serving in the navy and air force must “do their hair up neat,” according to military regulations, and their lengths and styles “must not disrupt the wearing of military caps.”
A South Korean military official on Monday said the Ministry of National Defense was considering changes for men and women but that “nothing has been finalized yet.”

As long as they outlaw that mop KJU wears, it’s all good.
So uniformity, military bearing and safety are a human rights issue?
Everything becomes a human rights issue when you are an organization that derives its power from finding human rights issues.
But it is good that hairstyles are being standardized, especially among ranks.
