Actor Go Kyung Pyo Confuses Netizens With His New Hairstyle

It’s not for a role.

Actor Go Kyung Pyo (also romanized as Ko Kyung Pyo), known for Don’t Dare to Dream and Chicago Typewriter, is currently starring in the new JTBC K-Drama Frankly Speaking alongside Kang Han Na.

A well-respected announcer suddenly loses his ability to self-censor on air, catching the attention of a TV writer who invites him on her variety show.

While Go Kyung Pyo is styled with a professional, clean-cut short hairstyle for the K-Drama, some recent promotions show the actor with a different hairstyle that could not be more different.

Some had jokes about the hairstyle, wondering if he was inspired by his fellow Reply 1988 character Jin Joo (Kim Sul) or The Glory‘s Teacher Chu Jeong Ho (Heo Dong Won).

The answer is no to all of the above. Previously, Go Kyung Pyo revealed that he chose his haircut personally, saying he originally wanted a hime cut, but it didn’t go as planned.

I really wanted to try a hime cut. So I drew a drawing. I got it ready beforehand and showed them. Actually, the hime cut should come down to the end of my lips. But it stopped at my cheekbones because my hair didn’t grow as much.
