Pop or Flop: So Ji Sub’s long hair

0712-so-ji-sub-final.jpg
So Ji Sub is growing out his hair for his new drama role, but look what it did to his face! He’s totally unrecognizable and you have to stare at it for a while to finally conclude that the man in the picture is in fact So Ji Sub and not some Native American taking a photo-shoot in Korea. (How unlikely is that?) Anyways, I originally opted not to post this picture in hopes that he’ll cut it after reading some truthful/blunt/mean comments from Korean netizens, but based on the recent pics from the airport, it looks like “I wanna be Johnny Depp” hair-do will stay for a while. Do you guys dig So’s long hair-do?

    i guess having a buzz cut in the army made him want to have a long flowing mane. haha. if its for a role, i think its ok. i suppose its better than wearing a wig… i guess guys like byj, song ilgook and so jisup like to become the character more so than others? *shrugs*

    “I wanna be Johnny Depp” hair-do !!!! Haha, you’re funny. actually I don’t care about him since I never find him attractive, he will cut it eventually. haha

  3. 3 Rainy_x_DaySs July 12, 2007 at 6:51 am

    o.O weirdly long hair hopefully he’ll cut it soon cause it ain’t doing him any good!!!

  4. 4 kiwee July 12, 2007 at 7:25 am

  5. 5 *~*cheonsa*~* July 12, 2007 at 7:29 am

    woah his hair like that is sexy… I don’t really know what he looked like before I’m not a fan but god i’m a sucker for long hair

  6. 6 kiwi_seoul July 12, 2007 at 7:55 am

    umm not digging the long hair, i think i just like his hair better in “Sorry, I love you” drama. his face is looking pretty old as well, maybe its the lighting or something…but i still love him.

  7. 8 Hunter July 12, 2007 at 8:19 am

    barbaric lol
    how can he look barbaric when he’s clean shaven, wearing a crisp whit eshirt and having his hair blowing in the wind? lol

  8. 9 lyn July 12, 2007 at 9:14 am

    The picture looks like an Ad for prozac or something.

  9. 10 cjlatina July 12, 2007 at 9:34 am

    i can recoginze him and i still think he looks hot hot hot hot….oh did i mention that he is HOT!hehehehehehe

  10. 11 mawee July 12, 2007 at 10:34 am

    i dig guys with long hair!!! i actually find him 10x hotter now! kk

  11. 12 rachel July 12, 2007 at 10:37 am

    he looks absolutely beautiful. so ji sub is my fav. korean actor and I think he looks wonderful. thanks for posting the pics even though the article was negative. lol.

  12. 13 Con gai July 12, 2007 at 10:43 am

    eeh..that’s a bit too long. no one but Johnny Depp can pull that off. ^_^

  13. 14 rachel July 12, 2007 at 10:45 am

    lol. johnny depp is so overrated. its so sad. guess what? not everybody wants to be him.

  14. 15 Di July 12, 2007 at 10:48 am

    I do not dig long hair on guys. But since it’s JiSub-oppa, I’ll let it pass and hope he’ll get it cut soon. -_-

  15. 16 dwilliams July 12, 2007 at 10:54 am

    Yeah I hope So Ji Sub cuts his hair which thats not all of his hair because in May he just did a photoshoot for MAC campaign and it was about to his neck. I believe this is a fusion weave. Long hair woven into his own hair. I know he looks a little too happy with it though.

  16. 17 hdfkhvb July 12, 2007 at 11:10 am

    no offense but he looks like an asian jesus….long hair and it makes him look like hes 40 something

  17. 18 shan July 12, 2007 at 11:19 am

    So Ji Sup can do no wrong in my eyes.

  18. 19 jane =] July 12, 2007 at 11:47 am

    lol the second part of the first picture looks like the pose johnny depp did.

  19. 20 babo-bingsin July 12, 2007 at 12:30 pm

    All the Korean men should have long hair like
    19th Century ago!
    Come back to the past!

  20. 21 Narae July 12, 2007 at 12:33 pm

    A hottie stays a hottie no matter what! But i must admit, he’s better with short hair

  21. 22 fizzlex3mh July 12, 2007 at 12:37 pm

    Love JiSub, hate the hair. (Although he looks very smexy in his airport pics)
    since it’s for Cain and Abel, I’ll live. Just as long as he cuts it right after filming. And SJS is about 1028585i49 times HOTTER and BETTER than Johnny Depp. But I can see why they call him the asian version. They both kind of have that ‘coolness’ and charisma.

  22. 23 chubbygrape July 12, 2007 at 12:38 pm

    but it’s JiSub!!! haha he’s one of those guys who will look hot no matter what

  23. 24 han July 12, 2007 at 1:14 pm

    i think he looks hot with his hair tied back..
    but i agree when you said he looks like an indian (native american) when his hair’s down… =3
    i still love him though

  24. 25 Me July 12, 2007 at 1:21 pm

    I agree with Han about him looking hot with his hair tied back… and his face half-covered with a hat and sunglasses…. hrm…. so maybe he just looks “half hot”….? Hahahaha….

  25. 26 jjhero July 12, 2007 at 1:59 pm

    He looks hot!!

  26. 27 Me July 12, 2007 at 2:03 pm

    Oooh no…..as much as I like him, the hair cut has got to go.. I prefer his look from What Happened In Bali better. :) This hair style sure makes him look a lot older. Wow, a lot of people are at the airport to see him, that’s nice, I wish I could have been there.

  27. 28 gl0rious July 12, 2007 at 2:20 pm

    no hair, too much hair, just enough hair, SO JI SUP is SO JI SUP is SO JI SUP.

  28. 29 monalisa July 12, 2007 at 2:48 pm

    Don’t like, don’t like! He looks so gaunt! Did he lose weight for this role?

  29. 30 orange_bratinela July 12, 2007 at 11:27 pm

    i think it will look better if he didnt lose weight. he looks really thin.

  30. 31 shinjinny July 13, 2007 at 1:10 am

    I still think he’s hot. I still remember those days when my dad was convinced So Ji Sub’s dad was his friend in the army, and then…(crushing disappointment). I’d jump on that in a hot minute.

  31. 32 lipzx July 13, 2007 at 3:52 am

    awwww hes look soo cute,,, i dont mind it on him

  32. 33 bebe July 13, 2007 at 1:45 pm

    mm
    its okay.
    it looks kind of freaky down
    kind of hot up.

  33. 34 niyu July 13, 2007 at 2:15 pm

    I hate guys with long hair but So Ji Sub is an exception….I love him no matter what hair style he wears. He’s simply beautiful and charming….and He is a trend-setter!!!!

  34. 35 cdngal July 13, 2007 at 2:21 pm

    bald…long hair…pink hair…straight hair or curly hair…doesn’t matter to me…JiSub is JiSub and I love him any which way! He has his own unique style to match his own unique personality.

    btw…keep in mind everyone…these pics are from a photoshoot so he’s got makeup on, hair has been done…etc…etc.

  35. 37 luckyle514 July 13, 2007 at 11:53 pm

    for a role…..i think it look okiie i guess….lolz….. i see “some korean” boy have this long hair style….is it a style….or they are still in those regular korean haircut

  36. 38 michi July 14, 2007 at 8:57 am

    so ji sub IS so ji sub. ‘nuf said!

  37. 39 Nhi July 14, 2007 at 6:25 pm

    Who cares! It’s So Ji Sub! I personally think he’s rocking that hairstyle.. sort of. I think it looks better in that airport pics, all tie up.

  38. 40 yriami July 19, 2007 at 6:46 am

    ok so im a sucker for long hair he looks hott speccially with that little pony tail lol but of course jhonny depp…much better

  39. 41 sandara September 9, 2007 at 3:52 pm

    The hair is not large, are extensions…of false hair
    In the new drama will not go out with the hair long,
    it did for a shooting (I do not remember well)
    The news is the most awful…

  40. 42 RavenCloud September 30, 2007 at 12:07 am

    It is good to try somethign diffrent as all do. I think it looks quite good…different but not bad

  41. 43 SomePerson November 2, 2007 at 7:45 am

    Looks doesn’t matter too much anyway. He’s a really good actor and since he grew his hair for a drama it shows how professional and how much he wants to get into this role. I’m happy for him :)

  42. 44 annie December 8, 2007 at 12:56 am

    short or long hair i don’t care…love So Ji Sub that’s all!!!!!!!!!!

  43. 45 Doggy Supreme December 26, 2007 at 6:16 pm

    Native American?
    AHAHA

  44. 46 Lynn January 4, 2008 at 5:04 pm

    Tss. I can tell it’s So Ji Sup at first glance. It just takes you a while to notice. I think he looks gorgeous with the long hair. (heating up) :P Though you’re right about one thing, (at first glance) he does kind of look like a Native American. A plus for me since I’m one too.:D *sigh* I wish I can run my fingers through his sexy long hair. *great sigh*

  45. 47 omg October 27, 2008 at 6:36 pm

    omg! he looks so old! no nice..no hot at all.
