What makes them "pull off" facial hair as an asian?

With so much focus on clean shaven kpopmaxxing it's nice to have an alternative look. People do talk about Sanada or Jacinto too due to shogun and acolyte. Mifune did it back in the day and he's legendary.

Are these guys the only exception? Maybe its the bad boy edge. Gangster/Yakuza/Samurai Style?
