Jeon Tae-soo for High Cut

by girlfriday

Jeon Tae-soo has just come off his stint on Sungkyunkwan Scandal as resident eyeball-popping, deathbeam-glaring villain, Ha In-soo, and before he transitions into his next role, he decided to stop on by High Cut for what can only be described as…a strange idea, gone stranger.

He looks like his noona Ha Ji-won dressed him up for fun in their mother’s clothes…only maybe they were both drunk at the time. He totally rocks the photo shoot, because his face is pitch perfect with every look. It’s just that the look is so…whack.

The concept for the shoot was hair-centric (if you couldn’t already tell by the crazy ‘dos), and Aveda made him up in four different looks, the titles of which are going to crack you up. The first style, above, is called “Dandy Slick.” I think that pretty much speaks for itself, although I don’t know anyone who isn’t in the mafia who would wear that look. It should be called “Lil’ Tony meets Liza Minelli.”

The second style is called “Lovely Perm,” which yeah…not so much. It’s probably made worse by the fact that the big hair is competing with the big fur, but I’m fairly certain that “Cruella deVille” is what they’re conjuring here. [Um… Imma go on record to say that the perm maybe… just a little bit… doesn’t look so horrible? I mean, it’s whacked out beyond belief, but he kinda looks really hot in it. Then again, I AM the girl who lost interest in Playful Kiss’s Seung-jo once he ditched the bird’s-nest ‘do… -jb]

The third one is “Unbalanced Mohican”…which could either be offensive, or misappropriated. I’m gonna go with misappropriated. [It’s like they meant “unbalanced” in one way… without knowing that the OTHER way seems much more apropos. Sure the thing is lopsided literally — but it also kinda looks like he might come after you with his crazy eyes and hatchet. Just as soon as he bothers to pull his hands out of his pockets, get over his ennui, and start caring about, oh, anything at all. -jb] The leopard-knit sweater is nutty in and of itself, but the bowtie somehow makes it full of just enough whimsy. But the hair? That’s just WRONG, yo.

The last look is by far the least crazy. But it’s called, “Natural Volume” [though it should be called Wedding Chic by Flock of Seagulls -jb], which just makes me laugh. Whose hair is naturally that voluminous? It looks pretty in the picture, but if he were standing in front me me with that hair, I’d think he was nine feet tall. I really dig the profile shot though, and have been generally loving the toned-down version of this hairstyle on Kim Jae-wook and Hyun Bin these days. Way to bring it around in the end, buddy.
