Short haircuts for girls
Recently, I found a blog that talks about Eun-Chan's character and how boyish she is in the drama, under the title "Is Yun Eun Hye man enough for you?" http://popseoul.com/2007/07/13/is-yun-eun-hye-man-enough-for-you/
Traditionally, long straight black hair was considered the most beautiful style for any Korean woman. Korean men usually "fell in love" with the women whose back looked so gorgeous with her charming long hair. Even the TV commercials always showed women with long hairs
and never really introduced any new hairstyle, except for maybe long, black, "curly" hair.
This summer when I was trying to change my hair style, I used the popular "naver-wisdom," a popular Korean website in which people post questions and get answers from others online. I searched for hair styles with phrases like "the most popular girl hair style," "cute girl hair cuts," and so on. Regardless of how I phrased, the website consistently mentioned the short haircut shown in the drama "Coffee Prince," with the main character Eun-Chan.
Well, this summer, a tomboy character named "Eun-chan" appears on screen every Tuesday and Thursday night, and changed many opinions (or preference) of many women for their hairstyle. Many rumors also followed that in order for one to prove oneself "truly beautiful," she should get a haircut and show that even the short haircut looks good on her. With Yoon Eun Hae (the celebrity playing Eun-Chan's role in the drama), it reached a point in which a person could go to any hair salon and literally ask the hair designers for the "Yoon Eun Hae" hairstyle, they would understand exactly what the customer wants.
How her hairstyle greatly influenced the Korean girls during the summer 2007 can be seen in many blogs, web images, and pictures of other Korean celebrities.
Below are some of the pictures that show how other celebrities followed her example.
1) Keun-young Moon, a young celebrity famous for making donations for scholarship program, helping little children, and so on.
The haircut doesn't look very good on her, but nonetheless she followed the trend.
2)Korean web news article showing various popular celebrities with their new short hair cuts.
There are endless numbers of pictures of girls with popular hair style (the short haircut, although unfortunately all of the descriptions are in Korean.
