13 bob hairstyles inspired by your favourite Korean celebs

While she’s known for her luscious long locks, Maria Hwasa occasionally surprises her fans with a sleek bob ‘do like this particular look for a more edgy look.

It’s no secret that Park Shin Hye is known for her long and luscious locks, so we were evidently taken aback when she decided to go for the snip. But boy, did she make the right choice. After her wedding with actor-singer Choi Tae-joon on February 22, 2022, the actress has decided to go for a chop and her hair now ends just right below her ears.

Name another celebrity who could rock a better short bob like Lisa, we’ll wait.

And we’ll admit, you’d be hard-pressed on finding a hairstyle that Lisa can’t rock, but this particular short bob is one to remember. It frames her face well and brings attention to her face without being too distracting.

Afraid that blunt bob you want won’t be versatile? Song Hye Kyo proves us wrong otherwise. In her most recent photoshoot with Harper’s Bazaar Korea, the actress left fans in awe with her new look that’s ever so edgy.

Let’s face it — after delivering such an amazing performance for her leading role in K-drama, My Name, it only makes sense for us to add Han So Hee’s name to our list of Korean actresses we’re currently crushing on. Unlike her role in Nevertheless, the actress ditched her luscious waves for a chin-length bob.

Appointed as the brand ambassador for Fila in China, Jun Ji Hyun, also known as Gianna Jun, sports a shorter bob hairdo in her latest campaign and let’s say she looks oh-so-gorgeous.

As part of her role in the MBC drama “Kairos” — a “time-crossing fantasy thriller” — Lee Se Young took a leap of faith and chopped her locks to play the role of Han Ae Ri in the drama. The bold move has also been said to be the first time Lee Se Young has ever been spotted in a short ‘do since her debut. But even after doing so, the actress continues to rock a short hairdo, and we have to admit, she looks really good with it. Not only does it help to frame her face, but it also sheds a few years off her look.

Best known as the member of the K-pop girl group Apink, Yoon Bo-mi looks amazing with this sleek and straight bob that totally complements her diamond face shape. It ends just at her nape, so if you’re looking to be a little more daring, get your hairstylist to cut it about 2 inches shorter to achieve a boyish charm.

And if you’ve got a high forehead like she does, consider getting some straight-cut bangs to frame your face and add some layers to your bangs so they look effortlessly natural.

After starring in the crime-drama series, Vagabond on Netflix, Bae Suzy has been in the public eye more than ever before. Here, she rocks a tapered short bob that’s easy to style and helps bring focus to her radiant smile and defined cheekbones.

This multi-talented singer-songwriter and actress is known for her many varied hairstyles. She’s gone for long Rapunzel-like locks, the classic medium-length cut and the short bob. And while she may have already grown out of her cute bob, we can’t help but obsess over the look that she was spotted with back in 2018 — she rocks a hairdo that’s tapered just above the neck and curled at the end for an elegant twist.

Korean makeup guru Pony doesn’t just inspire her fans to be bold with their makeup choices; she also shows that adding a pop of colour to your hair can make you stand out in the best way possible. While she may have worn a bob wig for this photo, she still manages to pull the look off with an eye-catching blonde hairdo that matches perfectly with her edgy ensemble.

If you’re looking to put a classic spin on your hairdo, this K-drama actress’s hairstyle may just be the bob you need to emulate. A sleek haircut that falls anywhere between your ears and neck, the short straight bob look is effortless and versatile, it’s one of the most popular and well-loved hairstyles that will never go out of style.

The singer from girl band EXID opted for a full-on sleek straight bob, a look that’s definitely a favourite of ours. Not only does it give an illusion of a smaller face, but it nicely compliments her sharp jawline and high cheekbones.
