Short Hair the “It” Style in Korean Dramas

I thought it was just me at first, but it seems like short hair style is getting very hot in Korean dramas. Just a few that I've noticed.

Goo Hye Sun as Geum Jan Di in “Boys Before Flowers”

At first, I had my doubts about the 25-year-old acting as a high student, but she pulled it off. Very simple yet neat hairstyle, with the straight line bang, she does look pretty young.

Lee Min Jung in “Boys Before Flowers”

As Goo Joon Pyoo’s feisty girlfriend, her straight cut makes her independent personality stand out even more.

Chae Rim in “Good Job, Good Job”

Chae Rim acts as a single mom in Good Job Good Job and even cut her long hair that she has been growing out for 3 years.

Kim Sun Ah in “City Hall”

For her role as the headstrong city mayor, the short hair fits Kim Sun Ah’s character pretty well, gives her a lively look.

Han Hyo Joo in “Shining Inheritance”

Han Hyo Joo’s character is a young girl who has grown up through much hardship; her somewhat curly short hairstyle gives her the cuteness she deserves but adds strength to her personality as well.

Song Hye Kyo in "The World That They Live In"


Song Hye Kyo has always been known for her characterization of innocence and purity and whatnot. This short hairstyle gives a modern take on her femininity.

Han Ga-In in "Witch Amusement"

I absolutely fell in love with Han Ga-In after watching this drama. Her hairstyle is cute and sexy at the same same time.

And… let’s not forget this blast from the past –
Yoon Eun Hye in “1st Shop of Coffee Prince”

I always say that Yoon Eun Hye sacrificed a lot for her character, but all was worth it considering how popular Coffee Prince became. Although I sincerely hope she can go for a more glamorous image in future dramas, her tomboyish style was definitely memorable.
