Itaewon Class is a recent hot favourite amongst Korean Drama viewers. Based on a webtoon, the series stars Park Seo Joon as Park Sae-royi who opens a bar-restaurant in Itaewon. Besides the storyline and chemistry between the cast, another thing that has been gaining traction among viewers is Park Seo Joon’s hairstyle in the show.
It’s not surprising as Park Seo Joon’s hairstyle was trending in Korea when ‘What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?’ came out as well.
Also known as the Chestnut hairstyle, the hairstyle is not a common one in Korea. Singapore’s equivalent would probably be a Number 2 haircut with a slightly longer fringe?
Korean netizens have also commented saying this is a hairstyle where you need to have confidence in your looks instead of your hairdresser.
The vlog by Park Seo Joon undergoing the transformation to Park Sae-royi has gained over 2 million views thus far.
