Confusing latest appearance
After “My Liberation Notes” ended, Kim Ji Won surprised fans by having bangs again, which immediately reminded fans of her legendary looks in “The Heirs”. At the Gucci x adidas pop-up event that took place recently, Kim Ji Won made headlines with her appearance with newly debuted bangs.
However, instead of drawing praise like usual, Kim Ji Won received mixed reactions for her looks. In unedited reporter photos, the actress’ new bangs don’t seem to be much flattering on her, making her face look somewhat puffy. However, this is perhaps the hairstylist’s fault. Because even with a weird-looking hairstyle, Kim Ji Won’s beauty is still radiant thanks to her clear features.
