South Korean actress Song Ji Hyo recently found herself unexpectedly embroiled in a styling-related controversy. Her hair and makeup staff appeared on her YouTube channel, discussing her usual styling habits, with the 'hair clip' becoming a major point of contention. The staff even directly appealed to her, hoping she would stop casually clipping her hair up during work.
Staff Directly Advise: 'Look Prettier Even for YouTube'
According to the original report, Song Ji Hyo's close hair and makeup staff recently appeared on her YouTube channel to discuss her style. The hairstylist complained that Song Ji Hyo often casually ties her hair up with a hair clip, stating bluntly: "I really want to burn that hair clip. Please don't wear it for work, only at home. I hope she can dress up a bit when she goes out, and look prettier even when filming YouTube videos."
The makeup artist also mentioned: "Unnie, since it's summer now, I also want to do body makeup for you. Lately, it's been all about arms and legs." However, Song Ji Hyo initially refused, saying: "If you put highlighter on my neck, that's where it stops." After persistent persuasion from the staff, she finally conceded, saying: "I'll try not to use hair clips. But please don't keep telling me to stop using them completely."
However, the original report noted that in the very next video, Song Ji Hyo appeared again with her hair loosely clipped up in a comfortable style, bringing long-simmering dissatisfaction to the surface. Some fans felt that her casually pinned-up hair combined with overly casual clothing made her appear less dedicated, and pointed out that this could affect the staff's portfolios, criticizing Song Ji Hyo for being too stubborn in her styling choices.
2021 Short Hair Controversy Sparked Discussion
In fact, Song Ji Hyo has caused a stir with her hairstyles before. In 2021, she suddenly appeared with a short haircut, but the style at the time was not neat and sharp, but rather uneven. Staff members had also criticized the style for detracting from her beauty.
Later, Song Ji Hyo admitted that she had impulsively cut her hair at the time and apologized to the staff who were unfairly blamed. She explained then: "I suddenly cut my hair with scissors after drinking." This explanation helped shield her staff from external criticism.
