Why are these young whippersnappers dyeing their hair grey? Grass is always greener on the other side? People who don't have grey hair want it, those who do have it don't want it?

Because grey is a fantastic color, and grey hair is just another color to dye it. Plenty of people dye their hair natural colors, too, not just to cover up greys
And plenty of people with grey/white hair enjoy and love it
I had white-grey hair, I just like the aesthetic. It's definitely not the same look as naturally grey hair. I would have still had it if it didn't mean absolutely destroying my hair with bleach.
Most of them are in their 30s, so probably the hide the real greys.
Early thirties or late thirties? I guess some people grey early, but Koreans don't usually, right?
Either way, covering grey with... Grey?
Most people I know seem to see grey hairs in their early 30s (if they don't do something to remove /hide them). Not a full head of grey hair, just the start of greys.
I don't know about Koreans but it's also fashionable, I see lots of people with dyed grey or silver hair. I presumed it aged better than dying it black or whatever, so you don't have to re-dye as often.
But maybe it's fashionable just because?
It’s also just trendy, has been for a few years now
I guess I'm old.
