Lee Jun-young addresses hair loss rumors with new selfie during military leave

Actor Lee Jun-young, who enlisted as an active-duty soldier on July 21, shared a mirror selfie on the 20th that shows a relatively even hairline. The photo has resurfaced previous speculation regarding his hair condition following earlier rumors of M-shaped hair loss.

Actor Lee Jun-young, who is currently serving in the military, has shared an update during his leave, drawing attention with a distinct hairline. After previously facing unexpected "M-shaped hair loss" rumors due to photos from his military life, his recent short-haired selfie has once again captured online interest.

On the 20th, Lee Jun-young posted a photo on his social media with the brief caption, "Leave." The image shows Lee Jun-young standing in front of a mirror wearing military athletic wear. Taking a selfie with his phone, his short hair gives him a different atmosphere compared to before his enlistment.

His forehead and hairline, in particular, caught the eye. Previously, after a photo of Lee Jun-young with fellow soldiers was released online, some netizens raised suspicions of M-shaped hair loss. Speculation arose that hair loss might be progressing due to his forehead shape appearing different than usual.

However, this latest photo leaves a different impression, revealing a relatively even hairline. As his clear forehead line stands out even with short hair, the past hair loss rumors were resurfaced. However, it is difficult to judge actual hair loss or hair condition from a single photograph. Since Lee Jun-young has not directly addressed the hair loss suspicions, it is hard to conclude that this post is an explanation regarding the controversy.

Lee Jun-young enlisted as an active-duty soldier in the Army on July 21. Before his enlistment, he left a handwritten letter for fans, expressing his complex feelings: "Until I knew the enlistment date, I thought, 'Well, it's no big deal. I'm just going!' but once I actually received the date, I found myself having many thoughts after a long time." He confessed that while he had thought about enlistment calmly, various emotions crossed his mind once it became a reality.

Since his enlistment, there have also been eyewitness accounts of him at the training center. One netizen shared that their older brother lived in the same training center as Lee Jun-young, stating, "He was said to be truly much, much kinder than imagined." This story about his real personality, which differs from the intense characters he plays in works, drew interest from fans.

Even during his military service, Lee Jun-young continues to meet viewers through his works. He worked alongside actor Song Kang in the tvN drama 'Four Hands, Two Sonatas,' which finished filming before his enlistment. The work depicts the friendship, competition, and growth of youths with musical talent set in an arts high school.

Lee Jun-young has become a hot topic through a single short selfie shared during his leave. While the hair loss suspicions stemming from past photos have become a subject of interest again, what truly brought joy to fans was the update on his status after a long time during his military service.
