If you follow local celebrity news, you would definitely be familiar with Kim Lim – the 30-year-old daughter of billionaire businessman, Peter Lim. Just barely over a year ago, Lim sported flowing long locks that cascaded down her back. When 2021 came, she ditched the tresses for a mid-length long hairstyle which ended around her collarbones, before going way higher for a middle-parted short bob that ended at her chin. Her fresh look captured many fans, who left Instagram comments praising her new look.

How to maintain this look? On your busy work-from-home days, keep your fringe out of your face with a half-up ponytail. You might just want to get a butterfly clip from Daiso to go easy on the tension on your hairline!

You will definitely recognise this South Korean model turned actress, Jung HoYeon, in her unmistakable messy and curly short bob hairstyle that she donned in Netflix’s global hit, ‘Squid Game’. However, the 24-year-old model used to sport long, black locks that reached her waist. So, how has she been adapting to and growing out her short hairstyle which she cut for ‘Squid Game’? Hoyeon has, for the most part, embraced this messy and curly short bob.

While off duty, she secures her fringe in a half-up ponytail. While on photoshoots, she parts her hair to the side for a wet, slick look. Otherwise, she embraces accessories such as daisy hairbands, Gossip Girl-esque hairbands, and scarves.

You may have loved her long and classy hairstyle in Netflix’s K-drama, ‘Hometown Cha Cha Cha‘. While it does seem like the 37-year-old South Korean actress has always been sporting the same side swept long bangs and long hair look for years now, Shin Min-A had short hair in 2019 while filming the K-drama, ‘Chief of Staff’. In the drama, Min-A had long fringe that came down to her chin – a look which she dropped after the filming for her signature bangs.

Fans of Netflix’s hit 2020 rom-com K-drama, “It’s Okay Not To Be Okay” will remember how South Korean actress Seo Ye-Ji (who played Ko Mun Yeong) got her short hair. In episode seven of the series, Ko Mun Yeong found her way back to her castle-like childhood home where she was plagued by nightmares of her mother coming after her and brushing her long hair. In a bid to escape from her past, she grabbed a pair of fabric shears and snipped her hair off.

In real life, actress Seo Ye-Ji managed her shorter look with curls, caps, a tousle, mess, and lots of attitude that she’s known for.

Running man star Song Ji-Hyo shocked fans everywhere when she swapped her long, flowy locks for an edgy, pixie cut, during the latest episode of the popular variety show.  She also took to Instagram to talk about the dramatic change. Along with a selfie, she shared this cheeky caption: "This one hahahaha. He's so handsome hahaha".

 

 

By now, we’ve gotten used to Ouyang Nana’s long, flowing hair. But as the temperature heats up, the Taiwanese singer swapped her sweeping locks for a sophisticated bob. On June 15, Nana took Weibo to share a video of what she did on the day she turned 21. “I am going to do something challenging today, which is to cut my hair. Say bye bye to my long hair,” she said in the clip. Needless to say, the cello prodigy who is no stranger to breaking the internet, caused a viral sensation when she debuted her new look on the Chinese microblogging site.

Known for her platinum blonde hair, Red Velvet Wendy stepped out in a shorter, more grown-up 'do and we’re loving it on her. If you’re hesitant to make the cut -- use this as your inspo.

Blackpink Lisa is no newbie to cropped hairstyles, but this ashy blonde full fringe style is nothing short of amazing.

The witty host has been sporting the chin-grazing chop for a long time now. We love this length on Dee and her long fringe just makes the look all the more sophisticated.

Here’s proof that you can pair bangs with short hair. Twice Momo’s short crop is one of those flattering styles with plenty of layers that will complement most face shapes.

The “Goblin” star’s jawline-length bob is très extraordinaire! To cop her look, curl the bottoms of the hair inwards towards the chin with a flat iron.

This shaggy “wolf cut” hairstyle with choppy layers around the crown seen on local actress Jeanette Aw is great for adding an edge to your look. The best part? This cut does all the hard work for you. Add some texturising spray and you’re good to go.
