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 loosely secured using a large claw clip, a style she frequently wears off-camera. Her hairstylist jokingly but earnestly asked her to stop relying on the accessory during work.
“I really want to burn that claw clip,” the stylist said with a laugh. “Don’t wear it while you’re working save it for home. When you’re going somewhere, I wish you’d dress up a little. Even when you’re filming YouTube, let’s come looking nice.”
The actress’s makeup artist also suggested adding body makeup during the summer to create a more polished appearance. However, Song Ji-hyo immediately pushed back. “If you put tone-up cream on my neck, we’re no longer friends,” she joked.
After more persuasion from her staff, Song Ji-hyo agreed to a small compromise. “I’ll try not to wear the claw clip as much. But please stop telling me to never wear it.” Despite that promise, viewers noticed that she appeared wearing the same hairstyle again in her next uploaded video.
Following the episode, some fans expressed disappointment online, arguing that Song Ji-hyo’s relaxed styling can sometimes appear too informal for professional content.
Several comments emphasized that the issue extends beyond personal preference because the styling team’s work is also being showcased. Among the reactions were:
- She’s not working alone she has a whole team.
- Even office workers try to look neat when they go to work.
- No one is asking her to dress like an idol. Just maintain a basic professional appearance.
- I know she’s stubborn, but I hope she’ll read the comments.
Some fans also argued that repeatedly rejecting the styling team’s suggestions could unintentionally affect their professional portfolios. Others, however, have defended Song Ji-hyo over the years, saying her natural, down-to-earth image is one of the qualities that has made her popular with audiences.
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 directed at her styling team.
She later revealed that the haircut had not been planned by her staff. Instead, Song Ji-hyo admitted that she had impulsively cut her own hair after drinking. “I suddenly got the urge and cut my hair with scissors,” she explained at the time, apologizing because her stylists had received criticism for a decision that had actually been hers.
Her latest hairstyle debate has once again sparked discussion among fans about the balance between maintaining her signature laid-back personality and presenting a polished image during public appearances.
