T-ARA’s Hyomin has just made a surprising announcement, sparking concern among her fans.
Hyomin has now revealed that she cut her long hair, in a surprising new move. On December 26, Hyomin posted the final photo of herself with long hair, saying “I’m posting this photo because I’m cutting my hair short tomorrow. I think the response will be good…”
Hyomin has long been known for her beautiful, healthy long hair. Her decision to switch to shorter hair has taken place just eight months after getting married, which is causing speculation among many fans.
As promised, Hyomin followed up by posting a new story showing her cut-off hair now on the floor of a salon, with the caption "Bye bye." The story was paired with HWASA’s song ‘Good Goodbye.’ Hyomin also showed the before and after of her new cut, showcasing a much shorter hairstyle with layers cut in.
While many fans celebrated Hyomin’s decision and praised her new look, others expressed their concern and regret over her haircut. Comments like “It’s a shame,” “Is this a sign of her changing her image because she got married?” and “Why would she suddenly cut her hair like this?” were left on Hyomin’s social media post.
Other fans showed their support for Hyomin, saying “She would look good with any haircut” and “It’s the perfect winter look”.
Meanwhile, Hyomin got married in April 2025 to a non-celebrity man 10 years her senior, who works in the finance industry. Since her wedding, Hyomin has been quietly enjoying married life. While she has consistently shared life updates on Instagram, her sudden haircut announcement - made without any explanation - has drawn particular attention from fans.
Hyomin's announcement that she would be cutting her long hair, which has long been considered her trademark, has led to speculation that it might signify something more than just a simple style change.
