Actress Song Ji-hyo has once again found herself at the center of an online debate over her appearance after fans expressed frustration with her consistently casual hairstyle and styling choices. The discussion began after a recent video on her YouTube channel featured candid conversations with her longtime hair and makeup team.
During the video, Song Ji-hyo appeared with her hair pinned loosely using a large claw clip, a style she often wears off-camera. Her hairdresser jokingly but sincerely asked her to stop relying on the accessory while working.
“I really want to burn that clip” the stylist said laughing. “Don’t wear it while working, keep it around the house. When you go somewhere, I would like you to dress up a little. Even when you’re filming on YouTube, we come looking good.”
The actress’ makeup artist also suggested adding body makeup during the summer to create a more polished look. However, Song Ji-hyo immediately refused. “If you put a toning cream on my neck we are no longer friends” he joked.
After further persuasion from his staff, Song Ji-hyo agreed to a small compromise. “I’ll try not to wear the claw clip too much. But please stop telling me to never wear it.” Despite this promise, viewers noticed that she appeared with the same hairstyle again in the next uploaded video.
After the episode, some fans expressed disappointment online, claiming that Song Ji-hyo’s relaxed style can sometimes seem too casual for professional content.
Several comments pointed out that the issue goes beyond personal preferences because the work of the styling team is also showcased. Among the reactions were:
- She doesn’t work alone, she has an entire team.
- Office workers also try to look neat when they go to work.
- No one asks her to dress like an idol. Simply maintain a basic professional appearance.
- I know she’s stubborn, but I hope she reads the comments.
Some fans also argued that repeatedly rejecting the styling team’s suggestions could unintentionally affect their professional portfolio. Others, however, have defended Song Ji-hyo over the years, saying that her natural and down-to-earth image is one of the qualities that have made her popular among the public.
This is not the first time Song Ji-hyo’s hairstyle has become a topic of public discussion. In 2021, she surprised fans by debuting a dramatic short haircut that initially led to criticism aimed at her styling team.
He later revealed that the haircut had not been planned by his staff. Instead, Song Ji-hyo admitted that she impulsively cut her hair after drinking. “Suddenly I felt like cutting my hair with scissors,” he explained then, apologizing because his stylists had received criticism for a decision that had actually been his.
Her latest hairstyle debate has once again sparked discussion among fans about the balance between maintaining her relaxed personality and presenting a polished image during public appearances.
