Actress Song Ji Hyo finally shared the full story behind her controversial short haircut in 2021, admitting that she cut her hair impulsively while drunk, an incident that unexpectedly led to harsh criticism aimed at her styling team. The revelation came in a recent video uploaded to her YouTube channel, where she sat down with her longtime hair, makeup and styling staff.
During the meal, Song Ji Hyo turned to her hairdresser and said, “I have to apologize for cutting my hair.”
The stylist recalled receiving a text from the actress in the middle of the night saying she had cut her hair. “I got a text at dawn saying she had cut her hair. I honestly thought she was joking,” the stylist said. “When she came to my house, it was already impossible to save her. I was so shocked that I patted her on the back. In the end, I had to trim her properly in my bathroom.”
Song Ji Hyo revealed that after she posted photos of her new hairstyle online, the reaction was much more intense than she expected. “I uploaded photos after I got my hair cut and I was attacked. People even called the salon asking why my hair was cut that way.”
Her hairdresser admitted that the criticism had become overwhelming. “If someone had been mentally fragile, maybe they wouldn’t have been able to handle it. People even told me to give my salary back. Fans were shocked, but honestly, so was I.”
The emotional memory moved both the designer and Song Ji Hyo, who thanked the team for being by her side despite the public’s negative reaction. “I’m just grateful that you put up with this,” the actress said.
Song Ji Hyo had previously explained through another YouTube video that cutting her hair was done on impulse after drinking. She revealed that she suddenly felt the need to cut her hair and used a pair of scissors normally intended for cutting toothpaste tubes and cosmetics packaging to do it herself. At the time, he also urged fans not to blame his staff, stressing that the decision was entirely his.
When Song Ji Hyo first unveiled the dramatic pixie cut in 2021, the hairstyle’s raw look quickly became a hot topic online. Some fans mistakenly blamed her hairdressing team, leading to a wave of criticism aimed at the salon.
Years later, the actress once again took responsibility for the incident, clarifying that her staff was not involved in the original haircut and expressing gratitude for their professionalism throughout the ordeal.
