Hair loss is becoming an unexpectedly candid topic among Korean actresses, with Park Han-byul, Lee Joo-yeon and Park Kyung-hye sharing their struggles with thinning hair, graying roots and scalp concerns. One actress even admitted to using hair-concealing powder to cover thinning areas.<\/p>\n

Park Han-byul recently opened up about her hair concerns in a video posted on her YouTube channel, where she shared updates on her life on Jeju Island.<\/p>\n

“I used to have really thick hair, but as I’ve gotten older, I feel like I’ve been losing a lot of it,” she said.<\/p>\n

Park said she had tried eating black beans, widely believed in Korea to help with hair health, and using hair masks, but neither seemed to make a difference.<\/p>\n

“I’m worried that I might actually develop hair loss at this rate,” she said.<\/p>\n

The actress also shared her frustration over gray hairs becoming increasingly noticeable along her part.<\/p>\n

“I get really stressed because gray hairs show up right where I part my hair, more than anywhere else,” she said.<\/p>\n

Lee Joo-yeon, a former member of girl group After School, also spoke candidly about her hair concerns in a video uploaded to her YouTube channel in September.<\/p>\n

While visiting a clinic for scalp care, she admitted that she had been experiencing excessive hair shedding and an itchy scalp.<\/p>\n

“I’m losing so much hair. My scalp is really itchy, too,” she said.<\/p>\n

During a scalp examination, Lee was asked whether she had used hair-concealing powder, a cosmetic product designed to make thinning areas appear fuller.<\/p>\n

“I applied a lot of the powder yesterday,” she said.<\/p>\n

The examination found that her scalp was slightly red, apparently due to fatigue, but was otherwise clean and healthy.<\/p>\n

Lee, 39, also expressed frustration over the physical changes she has experienced with age.<\/p>\n

Actress Park Kyung-hye has likewise spoken openly about undergoing treatment for hair loss and continuing to manage the condition with specialized hair care products.<\/p>\n

In an April video on her YouTube channel, Park said she had received hair loss treatment for about a year.<\/p>\n

“I underwent hair loss treatment for about a year. These days, I’m managing it by using shampoo designed to prevent hair loss,” she said.<\/p>\n

Park also shared how a comment from her younger sibling made her more conscious of her thinning hair.<\/p>\n

“My younger sibling told me that the top of my head looked a little bare,” she said.<\/p>\n

She explained that her relatively short stature made the issue particularly stressful.<\/p>\n

“What makes hair loss even more stressful is that I’m on the shorter side, so most people look down at me from above. I’m self-conscious about how visible my scalp is at the crown of my head,” she said.<\/p>\n

The actresses’ willingness to discuss a sensitive issue that many people find difficult to talk about publicly has drawn sympathy and messages of support, with their candid accounts resonating with those facing similar concerns.<\/p>\n
