Ryu Jun Yeol also discussed how his hair is going through an awkward stage at the moment. However, he must be patient for the sake of the character he is playing.

This hairstyle is not long but also not short, and the style I want is not working either. Hair doesn't grow in just one day, so I think I have to be patient for now," said the star of the drama REPLY 1988.

2. Embracing the Role More

When asked if he could portray his character in the film, Ryu Jung Yeol compared it to the struggle of growing his hair long. By having naturally long hair, Ryu Jung Yeol admitted that he can delve deeper into the role he is playing.

"First, this role requires me to have long hair," he said with a laugh.

"I also had long hair in the film A TAXI DRIVER, but I wore a wig because I was involved in many different projects at that time. This time, I want to grow my hair long. Shooting with my own hair is the most natural. And it helps me immerse myself in the role as well," he concluded.
