Not many K-Drama fans know that Song Hye Kyo sacrificed her long luscious hair for a new image in a new drama.

During the filming of her series "Encounter," Song Hye Kyo maintained a short bob with a fringe to keep a mature yet radiant beauty.

After the series, Song Hye Kyo grew out her hair long once again but she wants the fans to know that she's up for a challenge anytime, may it be cutting precious hair for work!

Krystal Jung

For a long time, Krystal Jung showed off her ethereal beauty during her idol days, dyeing her hair from red and blonde.

When she ventured into acting, she was asked to cut her hair in order to synchronize with her character in "Prison Playbook."

Although it looked great on her, many fans didn't like the wavy bob hairdo as it makes her look older and fatter, according to South Korean fans.
