🔥Jun Ji Hyun did the airport bare-faced with 거지존 hair and somehow it works

7GaeunAm2026.10.05 12:52👁 3008💬 54♥ 59

Korean articles this week are all about Jun Ji Hyun's airport looks for the Saint Laurent show in Paris, and the thing people keep pointing out is that she barely did anything.

On the way out she wore an oversized biker jacket with horn-rimmed glasses. Coming back through Incheon on October 1 it was sunglasses, a white sleeveless top, black wide-leg pants, sneakers and a knit just thrown over her shoulders, hands in her pockets. No visible lip color either time, in front of a crowd of photographers. The hair is the part Korean people find funny. It's that awkward length between a bob and long hair, which in Korean is called 거지존 (geojizon), literally the "beggar zone," the stage everyone growing out short hair suffers through. Most people hide it under a cap. She just let it be messy.

Comments on Naver were things like "her aura is insane," "she looks even cooler without makeup," and my favorite, "this looks like The Thieves Part 2." I'd steal the knit over the shoulders and the wide pants tomorrow. The bare face on a long-haul flight day, not so brave. Is there a word for the awkward hair stage where you live, and do you hide it or just commit?

Devil's advocate, it's easy to look effortless when your skin and jawline are already Jun Ji Hyun's. The 'she barely did anything' headlines kind of miss that part

4Eero2026.10.07

Why didn't the hair stage get into the airport? It was stuck in the beggar zone. I'll take my coat and leave

7Dahye2026.10.06

Incheon in October in a sleeveless top is a power move by itself

4Elif2026.10.07

what's the Saint Laurent show she went for, the women's collection?

5Elena.v2026.10.07

The Thieves Part 2 would be a hit just with this walk. Somebody greenlight it

6Ioana2026.10.06

Not saying she isn't stunning. Just that "barely did anything" is a weird compliment for a professional

↳
7Sebin2026.10.06

Both: the face is hers, the restraint is a decision. Plenty of people with great genes still overdo it

↳
7GaeunOP2026.10.06

Fair, genetics are doing half the work. But lots of people with great genes look stiff at the airport. The relaxed part is a choice

↳
6ice_cold_takes2026.10.06

Of course it's easier for her. That's the whole point of being Jun Ji Hyun

↳
6Zeynep2026.10.06

True, but the outfit is still smart. Plenty of famous faces look tired in a full designer look

5nunchi_zero2026.10.05

I tried committing to the beggar zone once. Lasted two weeks before a stranger asked if I was okay. She walks through Incheon with it and gets called a movie scene. Not fair

↳
6Jaehee2026.10.06

A stranger asking if you're okay is the most brutal haircut review possible

↳
5nunchi_zero2026.10.06

welcome. we meet on Tuesdays, under caps

↳
5Kasia2026.10.06

I'm in the beggar zone right now and this thread is my support group

↳
5Layla2026.10.06

A stranger asked if you were okay. Jun Ji Hyun gets compared to a movie. The universe is unfair and we accept it

5Jules2026.10.05

The knit over the shoulders is doing all the work here. Take it off and it's just a white tank and black pants, put it on and suddenly it's a Saint Laurent guest. That's the whole trick

↳
7GaeunOP2026.10.06

Yes! It's the cheapest trick in the whole look. Every grey cardigan I own is getting promoted

↳
5Fernanda_m2026.10.06

And the hands in the pockets. Half of the attitude is posture

↳
6hazel_n_honey2026.10.06

The shoulder knit is the best accessory ever invented because it's free if you already own a sweater

↳
5Jules2026.10.06

And it's tied loose, not knotted tight. That's the difference between Paris and a PE teacher

↳
6Minh2026.10.07

The knit is the holding midfielder of this outfit. Nobody notices it but nothing works without it

6ppalli_ppalli2026.10.06

거지존 = beggar zone is my new favorite Korean word. Very dramatic for a haircut phase

↳
6ppalli_ppalli2026.10.06

Bonus: 존 here is just the English "zone". Korean loves mixing a Korean word and an English one like this

5Lucia2026.10.06

I'm crying at the beggar zone translation, my entire 2023 was that

↳
6Jaehee2026.10.07

My entire 2023 was also the beggar zone. We should get matching caps

5Aurelien2026.10.06

The Thieves comment is fair, she had exactly that attitude in the film. Same coolness, more than a decade later

6Seoa2026.10.06

In Japan we just call it the awkward growing-out period. The Korean name is way more brutal

↳
6hanbyeol2026.10.07

Same idea, but 거지존 is the version everyone here actually says. Hair salons even use it in ads, like "how to survive the 거지존"

5Mariela2026.10.06

"This looks like The Thieves Part 2" is the best fashion review I've ever read

↳
5Elena.v2026.10.07

The Thieves Part 2 would be a hit just with this walk. Somebody greenlight it

5Valen2026.10.06

the knit over the shoulders I'm crying, why does it look like that on her and like a picnic blanket on me

3Fah2026.10.06

she's so pretty I can't 😭 congrats to Saint Laurent for having her

Bare face after a long-haul flight in front of that many cameras is braver than any outfit

↳
6hazel_n_honey2026.10.06

Long-haul flight skin is the hardest test there is. Either great skincare or great lighting, probably both

5tiny.tigress2026.10.06

Wide pants and sneakers, the most normal outfit on earth, and she makes it look like a poster

5Aino2026.10.06

Growing my hair out right now and hiding under a beanie. Finnish weather helps

6Lukas932026.10.06

Celebrity "no makeup" airport looks are almost never zero makeup. Skin prep, brows, maybe tint. Still looks great though

↳
5jaywalker2026.10.06

Agreed. "Bare-faced" in celebrity terms usually means skin that's had a 3-step morning. Still, the restraint is the look

7Dahye2026.10.06

Incheon in October in a sleeveless top is a power move by itself

5Ana.Lu2026.10.06

She's been my style icon since My Love from the Star and she keeps winning

↳
6Lukas932026.10.06

My Love from the Star was over 10 years ago and she looks the same. That's the real headline

5Ploy2026.10.06

wide leg pants and a knit on the shoulders, saving this look for autumn

7Siwoo2026.10.06

Norwegian word for the awkward hair stage: winter. We just wear a hat until May

4Elif2026.10.07

what's the Saint Laurent show she went for, the women's collection?

↳
7GaeunOP2026.10.07

The articles just say the Saint Laurent show in Paris, I didn't see more detail than that

5aaaahelsinki2026.10.07

*screams quietly* the sunglasses and the messy hair together

6meh_espresso2026.10.07

Sunglasses, hands in pockets, no lip color. I've never felt so poor while looking at a white tank top

4Eero2026.10.07

Why didn't the hair stage get into the airport? It was stuck in the beggar zone. I'll take my coat and leave

5Noor2026.10.07

She makes the awkward hair look intentional. When I do it, it's just awkward

6Dain2026.10.07

The wide pants plus sneakers combo is the most Seoul thing ever. Every cafe in Yeonnam has three people in it

4Thandi2026.10.07

congrats to her for making the beggar zone a trend 😂

6Hajun2026.10.07

She did nothing and it's a headline. I did nothing today and it's called Tuesday

↳

I did nothing today and it's called a nap. Different headline

5Chaeyun2026.10.07

"Hands in the pockets" is the most underrated styling tip of all time

5Fernanda_m2026.10.07

The no-lip choice is what makes it modern. With red lips this would look like a 2010 airport look

6kkt.882026.10.07

Fun fact for foreigners: Incheon airport photos are basically a fashion week of their own in Korean media. Every outfit gets an article
