Humans actually have hair all over their body. But the majority of the hair is invisible or a very pale blonde. We even have hair on our faces that is highly difficult for the human eye to see. However body hair is cause by testosterone. Men naturally have higher testosterone levels than Women. Some scientiffic researchers also believe that human body hair is caused by our (possible) past heritage thousands of years ago when it was believed we came from monkeys. Hair is also on the body for protective reasons. Nowadays ,with the evolution of technology and fashion ,some of it has become undesirable. For example ,eyebrows protects the eyes from particles that could be harmful. Following this reasoning ,we could say that hair is still present on the arms because they are very exposed on a daily basis ,and it's a way for the body and the skin to protect itself.

The hair present on the armpits serves a different function. Believe it or not ,it's for seduction purposes! The hair traps the sweat and the pheromones ,creating a smell ,to attract the opposite sex.. !

Does dbsk shave their armpits?

NO they dont their armpits r hairy as gorillas :]EDITING:Jaejoong actually mentioned in a radio interview that he doesn't shave because he doesn't grow hair under his arm. The few hairs he did have all disappeared because he tried shaving them so they could grow back thicker.Yunho, Max, and Micky all obviously don't shave, or at least not that often. We've seen pictures of them with hair, so if you ever see them hairless they more than likely have shaved it off for that time.As for Junsu, its a mystery for now. There haven't been any clarification whether he actually shaves his under arms or if he just naturally doesn't grow hair there.Though if you ask me I would say he suffers the same fate as Jaejoong. I have never seen a picture of him with a hairy armpit.Though as time goes on I'm sure we will eventually learn the truth spoken straight from their mouths about this hairy situation.Always Keep the Faith!
