Can I take it off now [Hello Counselor / 2016.11.21] 

the fans kinda knew he had some issues with his hair when he was never seen without a cap/hat. but when he said he had been suffering from it for 5 years (even before debut!) that really broke my heart.

Peniel being worried that he's not contributing in promoting BTOB, meanwhile he's the first member who introduced me to BTOB through Dive studios. He's the link to international Melody.

I noticed him frequently wearing hats during their previous comeback and I'm so glad he let it out from his chest. I felt like tearing up a lil bit. You still look cute and handsome Peniel!! 사랑해 ❤

Peniel isn't bald, he's GANGSTA.

He has a nice head shape what the fuck. I'd rather him without the hat tbh

He's a really nice dude. I follow his vlogs and I respect him a lot. I'm happy he's doing better and I will keep supportting him♡

Idols have such high stress levels, I'm surprised he's the only one to come out about hair loss. 😟 I lost a lot of my hair from high stress situations as well. People don't realize the toll stress takes on your body. He may have a slight hormone deficiency or maybe his adrenal glands aren't working properly. I wish that companies start to take a more active role in the health of their employees. This is heart breaking

it must be difficult for him to come out with it since in Korea idol image is streamly criticized if they don't look like they "should be" I think he looks so handsome with hair and without it. he even looks like a baby.

Peniel still is my bias[favourite] no matter how he looks like😙😙😙so Peniel oppa please dont stress yourself up okk...FIGHTING!!!😤

i was about to burst into tears when i watch the part he confess he keeps the secret in 5 years... I always wonder why peniel seems unhappy since then... no wonder...T^T

Peniel, we don't just love your appearance, we love that you who is talented af. so its doesn't matter at all!

I'm not a fan of BTOB but I saw An article about peniel And that made me really Emotional And Makes me think that he's such a great person for Being honest with his fans as well as himself! 👍👍👍 Fighting Peniel! Fighting BTOB!

Hes different. He broke the stigma of an Idol. Now Im a fan of him

this is the sad reality of idols. Behind all those glam and fame, stress is eating them out alive

Omg peniel is so inspirational xx

He looks so cute. I hope fans get used to it and can understand the situation. some fans in seats made me worry with their face gestures. don't be so superficial. looking different and unique always add more to the idols career. I don't know BTOB well but now I will remember him whenever see smth about that group.

It's strange because he looks more handsome and more cute at the same time, how does that work??????????

I'm glad he is really strong for confessing that, my cousin has alopecia and it was really hard on him because he would get bullied 😔. But I think Peniel is really handsome and it is refreshing to see an idol with a different look!You really don't get to see idols with a buzz cut so, yeah I really like him and the way he smiles is to die for 💗 Although he won't get to read it, I Love You Peniel!!! 💗💗💗

peniel is still really cute! I'm happy that he was confident enough to talk about it

im not a melody but i find comfort in peniel bc i have alopecia and its nice to be able to relate to someone else although im a 14 year old girl

No matter what, bald or not, i always love you, Peniel! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Peniel's smile is so bright :') he's so inspirational

Honestly, I don't really know BTOB but when I saw him I just thought "oh cool! A kpop singer with a shaved head!" only then did it occur to me that in all my kpop loving life I've never seen an idol with a shaved head, so I googled him and found out about his alopecia. What a boss for speaking publicly about it.

When I first read an article about this I was really surprised and a bit shocked, I guess, that he's been having to deal with this personally for five years... watching this was a little sad but I'm more happy now that he finally opened up about it. I hope that going forward he can be more comfortable and continue to receive support from BtoB, Cube and all the melodies... Peniel actually looks really cute and is still as handsome as ever. Peniel fighting! ♥

Ouh I remember watching this as a regular hello counselor's watcher around 3 years ago. Now I'm watching it as a melodyyy

OMG!! Peniel!! He looks so adorable especially when he was clapping. You are so brave oppa. Hwaiting!!

He's so precious, out going and cute. i want to protect him from the harsh world and make sure nothing harms him again. peniel fighting!!

Peniel, you're sooo beautiful not only because of your looks but also for doing this.

peniel always my bias

not really a melody but i actually cried watching this

IM SO HAPPY THAT HE'S BEING BRAVE TO OPEN UP HIS HAIR LOSS WHICH HE KEPT FOR 5 YEARS. STAY STRONG PENIEL! I WILL ALWAYS PRAY FOR YOU!! PENIEL FIGHTING!!

Honestly, i was tearing when i saw his facial expression when he took off his hat. I do feel happy for him and proud for his courage to acknowledge his problem that he has to go through these 5 years. It is frustrating for anyone who suffered hair loss especially when you are an idol and i can totally understand the pain he has suffered but am tearing because i applaud for his courage to come out to his fans in public....

We love you, Peniel 24/7 365!!!

Mfer doesn't know he is a huge reason for international btob fans. And he is so jolly about everything. Wearing a smile all the time.

you can tell that eunwoo and tae oh (i think that's his name) already had an idea that it was peniel when the host said that the person was from an idol group

I'm just happy he feels more content and more confident now that he's gotten it out of his chest. Honestly a super brave and caring guy. Hope for the best to him and BTOB

He's still handsome

I think Peniel is suffering from Alopecia. When they said the cause was stress, it reminded me of myself since i'm also suffering alopecia (at a young age) which my doctor said that the cause was stress or possibly lack of sleep. Mine's not yet as worse like Peniel but he was so brave to confess his hair loss problem. This is one of the reasons why i like BTOB.

SO SO SO SO SO SO SO *CUUUUTE*

He is the cutest little nugget 🥺. So inspiring!

He looks so cute with his head like that! Seriously he just became my favorite member because he is so cute with his bald head!😍😘

I don't know BTOB that well, but well enough to have noticed the hat but I didn't think about it, but seeing this got me sad... but then it progressed and from revealing towards the end I couldn't stop smiling

omg he's like really really cute... he's like a baby

kinda proud of him that he was so brave x3 and happy for him that he doesn't have to hide anymore ^^

I relate to Peniel on a different level. I've been suffering the same disease as him, alopecia for 6 years now. I have so much respect for him to talk about it in front of so many people. He truly is a gangsta.

Don't worry Peniel, Melodies will always love you, no matter what! I'm happy for you because now you look happy. And I love that I can see your handsome face properly, the hat used to shadow it ❤

Nawww im so proud of peniel for having the courage to tell everyone!!

To be honest... he looks extremely handsome ❤😍💘

To be honest he looks soooo attractive with shaved hair , it makes his beautiful facial features more obvious , he really looks soooooo handsome !!!!

I think he's the most underrated member in btob but he's my fav member... hope he get more known after this :D

9:39 a fan! i know. really melodies who stayed with btob from the beginning are the best. i came in 2020 so i dont consider myself as great as them. respect respect!

I cried not because of his baldness but because of how happy he seemed being free of that hat TT and it made me sad thinking about how he's had to hide it all these years... Proud of you, Peniel!!

As a girl, having alopecia is the worst thing ever i have to wear hats and wigs and it's very uncomfortable and very tiring you keep on checking if people are looking or if anything is noticable because of how judging the society is.. I've had it since I was 2 years old, now I'm 25 and I have to say not many people would accept you for who you are, it can ruin your social/dating life. I understand him, if I was a guy I would just go fully bald but I don't have the courage to do that as a girl I feel like having hair is a part of a girl's identity... I cried when he took it off I wish I could do that too

My friend has a similar condition to Peniel...but not as bad as his. She had patches of bald spots during our Sophomore year, and her doctor told her that she had to relief herself from stress and do only things that were positive and she even had to go on a cleansing diet to clean out her body. Now Senior year her hair started growing back but it still look as if someone had shaved different area around her hair though. The most inspiring thing is that she went around school like that, and smiled every single day. She took out some of her colleges classes(jnr yrs) because they were stressful to her and even left her so called "friends". She never once thought about negativity. Junior year she became a Junior Marshall, Senior year (more to come) she is ranked number 30 out of 278 seniors. The fact that school almost killed her is scary. Before junior year she was taking AP/IB classes, 2 College courses, clubs, sport, council committee, etc... I see why she was stressing out badly...but that shaped her up. I hope Peniel stay strong and brave after this. Everyday my Ma always tells me.."Out there is your battlefield, you either fight for what you believe in or surrender your rights". Peniel be brave man. Look at your best pals. Amber, Rome, Eric!! The best Quadruple there is!!!! Fighting Pen.!!

Aww he's so innocent and such a cutie!:3 THATS REALLY COURAGEOUS OF HIM!!:)))

Sounds like he has alopecia... Nothing to be a ashamed of I cut all my hair off from time to time to support things like cancer n alopecia. Not many ppl stare in the US tho n when they do idc they don't know me n I'll never see them again :)

i'm not a Melody but i watch them every now and them (BTOVIXX~) I really want to give hm a hug it must have been tough on him

우리 프니는 두상도 예뽀💙

His smile is so sweet

Peniel!! Even if I'm not a part of this fandom..I'm sure melodies will accept you!! I hope you will be less stressed:)) I know that melodies will never leave your side even if you have a slight difference..Peniel HWAITING!!♥♥♥

I think he looks great, with or without hair

I SWEAR HE LOOKS LIKE A NEW BORN BABY SO ADORABLE OMFG. Peniel stans guessed this since many yrs ago. so happy he finally can be free!!!

you can tell he's handsome because any hair style will suit him even if he's bald.

He is so strong, and he is sooooo cute and handsome, he was my fave from the beginning from BToB 😍 Fighting Peniel! We all love you!!! ❤💋

im so happy for him ❤

when he took the coverings off I really loved how everyone complimented him and showered him with nice things (which we're all true !!) you could see the pure joy he had when he got them

He is more handsome without the cap, I am so happy that he talked about this I believe he will be more comfortable ❤

I can't with peniel's head band, he looks so cute like he is wearing bow 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️

he really looks good without hair, he's too handsome and he will be too much to handle if he grows back his hair maybe god put it that way. I'm new to the fandom peniel caught my attention even before i heard about his condition because i think he's unique knowing that being an idol you need to be perfect! but he's not ashamed to show who he really is he's one of a kind, and I salute him for that! melodies will always support you! we love you hwaiting!

whoa.. peniel suffers alopecia areatta..

he looks goooood with a shaved head

He's good with or without hair...am a melody all the way

He's sooooooo cute at 14:21

PENIEL IS THE CUTEST I SWEAR!!!!

This makes me so happy, he looks so happy

Peniel is an awesome human being. I'm so proud of him for being brave like that. I'm happy that he finally felt at ease now with all the confession.

he's such a cutie 🌰❤ i stan the right bias ✨

He is so freaking cute!! Ive never seen any famous person be honest when it comes to hair loss, especially a condition like alopecia. I have alopecia as well, so this really makes me feel happy for him and myself that its okay to open about alopecia. Beauty is truly skin deep💕

I want to give peniel a hug so badly , he is sooo cute and such a baby , the way he talks , he is a soft angel

Oh my gosh, he looks so cute!!

HE'S SO CUTE AW YOU GO PENIEL YOU DO YOU, YOU ARE HANDSOME NO MATTER WHAT what a pure soul

I feel really sad for Peniel but I just had to point out that he still looks fit either way 😘👌

I admire you for your courage Peniel.

I think he looks great! He looks so much more comfortable and happy

fighting peniel... you're so brave.. im proud of you..

He’s still gorgeous no matter what, fighting ♥️♥️♥️💜💜💜

I've known BTOB during their rookie days but actually was not really interested in them, just Beast and lost track. 😅 But after seeing this I fell in love with them. Peniel broke stereotypes and his members are SO SUPPORTIVE. That's really brotherhood and friendship there. Will check them out again. ❤️

I've watched the whole episode before a few times. I really respect him for revealing it like this.

peniel is the only one I think that can pull off being bald Edit: too all the comments, you do realize this was like 3 years ago right?😂 of course my opinion has changed since then

No matter how many times I watch this I cry. Peniel is amazing. He's actually my sister's bias and I'm afraid to tell her about this :(

i respect him alot!! i will always support BTOB. i love you peniel oppa saranghaeyo

Peniel, u r a precious gem okay! now, be free :) we'll always root for u, friend! ^^

an idol is also a human being, they have feeling and concern. sometimes, i get sick of how the entertainment industry demanding everything needs and looks to be perfect in physically, esp. in south korea. what is also important is the mental and heart of the person!
