Popular Actor’s Alleged Hair Transplant Leaves Him Unrecognizable

While facial features are usually the most important for identifying a person, even something as simple as makeup can make someone unrecognizable.

Hair also falls into this category, with hair transformations making a huge impact on visuals and the concept of self.

Beloved Female Idol Admits To Getting Hair Transplant Under The Weight Of Online Ridicule

Recently, an actor’s visual transformation due to making a hair change became a hot topic.

Park Hae Soo may be recognizable to many for his role as Cho Sang Woo, or Player 218, in the first season of Squid Game, but the actor has been active in the industry for just under two decades.

Older photos of the actor were recently shared on a popular forum, claiming that he had gotten a hair transplant. Previous photos show him with a hairline that sits farther back on his forehead and some thinning.

More recent photos show a more even hairline and greater fullness where there was not before.

Hair loss affects roughly 85% of men by age 50, and can begin much sooner, presenting as a receding hairline. Both men and women benefit from hair transplants, and around 3.4 million are performed every year.

This information was reflected in netizens’ reactions, who defended the actor from malicious comments while remarking how different he looked.

• He did such a great job. He probably would’ve become famous anyway because he’s a good actor, but this definitely helped him get a wider variety of roles.
• I remember his forehead already looked pretty wide back during The Legend of the Blue Sea too. After that, I honestly thought he was a completely different person lol.
• He really does look like a different person. But it turned out well.
• Wow… he looks completely different.
