Actor Son Ye-jin's latest red-carpet appearance sparked mixed reactions for her styling, with the star responding simply by sharing photos from the event and thanking fans.
On Tuesday, Son posted several photos from the 46th Golden Cinematography Awards, held the previous day, along with the brief message, "Thank you♥."
The actor attended the ceremony in a pink floor-length gown featuring a square neckline and matching pink-toned makeup. Her short hairstyle quickly became a talking point online, generating both praise and criticism among fans and netizens.
While some commenters said the styling did not fully suit her, others said the look highlighted Son's bright and elegant personality.
The discussion continued after Son won Best Actress for her performance in director Park Chan-wook's film “No Other Choice.” Rather than addressing the online debate, she kept her acceptance message short, simply saying, "Thank you."
Son later shared photos of herself from the event decorated with colorful digital "stickers," including crowns, flowers and the word "AMAZING." The playful images attracted attention from fans, who praised her youthful appearance and positive attitude.

Fans from Korea and abroad flooded social media with supportive comments, including, "She's so beautiful," "Bright and lovely," and "She looks like a princess."
Not everyone was convinced by the styling, however. Some commenters said the hairstyle was disappointing or suggested that a different haircut would have suited her better.
Despite the differing opinions, many noted that Son appeared unfazed by the online discussion, choosing instead to celebrate her award and express gratitude to supporters.
The actor is set to return in the upcoming Netflix series “Scandal” and “Variety.” Son married fellow actor Hyun Bin in 2022, and the couple has one son.
