- Actor Choi Min-sik said he keeps his gray hair natural because he is allergic to hair dye.
- He said he must take medication before dyeing his hair for a role because otherwise his face swells.
- Choi is scheduled to appear in the film “The Intern,” which is due to open on Sept. 16.
Actor Choi Min-sik says his gray hair is natural, not a deliberate fashion choice. He made the comment during an appearance on the YouTube channel “Fairy Jae-hyung.”
This is natural.
Host Jung Jae-hyung complimented Choi’s hairstyle and asked whether he knew the look was currently popular. Choi replied that he had simply followed the salon’s advice after visiting for the first time in a while.
When Jung suggested that Choi’s gray hair looked naturally styled, the actor answered, “This is natural.” Choi then explained that he has an allergy to hair dye. When a film role requires him to color his hair, he said, “I have to take medicine and then dye it. Otherwise, my face swells to twice its size.” He added with a laugh, “I want to look young too.”
