Son Ye Jin’s “Tacky” Look Has Fans Asking If She’s Being “Sabotaged”

Son Ye Jin is usually the kind of actress whose beauty does most of the heavy lifting. This time, however, fans felt that even she could not fully save the styling.

On June 8, 2026 (KST), Son Ye Jin attended the 46th Golden Cinematography Awards at the CG Art Hall in Seoul. The actress appeared in a light pink sleeveless long dress, giving off her signature elegant and innocent image.

However, while Son Ye Jin herself received praise for her beauty, the overall styling quickly became a hot topic online for a different reason. Many netizens expressed disappointment with the hair, makeup, and outfit coordination, feeling the styling failed to highlight the actress’s visuals.

Some were especially critical of the details. Her black heels were pointed out as a mismatch with the soft pink dress, while her short hairstyle reminded some netizens of the “wind-swept hair” trend popular in the early 2000s. Others also felt that her nails did not match the outfit’s tone. The reactions grew increasingly blunt, with some fans even questioning the styling team. Comments included:

• “Even goddess Ye Jin has hairstyles that don’t suit her.”
• “What is going on with the styling?”
• “The hair, makeup, and outfit are all so tacky.”
• “The hair is especially disappointing.”
• “Son Ye Jin’s styling is always weird.”
• “Change the styling team. The fact that they put black heels with that dress shows zero sense.”
• “I thought she was someone else. What’s with the nails?”
• “It’s upsetting at this point.”
• “Is her stylist an anti-fan?”

Despite the mixed response to her styling, Son Ye Jin had a successful night at the awards ceremony. The actress won Best Actress for her performance in the film No Other Choice.
