Actor Kwak Dong-yeon caught fans off guard on Tuesday by revealing his brand new military hairstyle - a strikingly short blond buzz cut. The 29-year-old actor took to social media to share photos of his fresh look, ahead of enlisting in the Army. Kwak wrote, "I'll be back. I hope everyone stays healthy and happy." In the images, he flashes closely cropped blond hair as he prepares to enter boot camp.
One selfie shows him sporting sunglasses and posing in an elevator mirror, while another offers a closer look at his near-buzz cut.
Kwak, born in 1997, first stepped onto the Korean acting scene in 2012 with the TV series "My Husband Got a Family." Since then, he has played various roles in popular dramas such as "Love in the Moonlight," "Vincenzo," and the international hit "Queen of Tears." In the latter, he portrayed Hong Soo-cheol, the younger brother of Kim Ji-won's character Hong Hae-in.
The 2024 romantic drama proved to be a massive success for tvN, ranking among the network's biggest hits and garnering a significant international audience via Netflix.
As Kwak embarked on this new chapter in his life, his fellow actor Lee Jong-won expressed his support with a crying emoji.
