But within hours, the internet shifted its focus from the music to something far more unexpected—his hairline. Screenshots from the broadcast quickly began circulating online, with users zooming in on close-ups of his forehead and debating whether the pop star may have undergone a hair transplant.

Social media users have posted side-by-side comparisons of older photos, claiming there appears to be less recession than in previous years. Others have pointed to shorter hairs along the front edge, suggesting they resemble newly implanted grafts. Bieber has not confirmed any cosmetic procedures, and there is no official evidence that he has had a transplant.

The comment sparked backlash and debate, with some finding the airline’s humor entertaining and others criticizing it as unnecessary public mockery of someone’s appearance.

Hair thinning is common and natural, yet when it involves a global star, it becomes headline material. Whether Bieber changed his hairstyle, benefited from styling tricks, or chose a medical solution, the viral reaction says more about society’s obsession with youth than about his actual scalp.
