Despite actress Cha Ye-ryeon (41, real name Park Hyun-ho) drawing her sword by filing a lawsuit over school bullying allegations, she has found herself at the center of controversy as additional revelations about her past conduct continue to surface.

Recently, a post by netizen A on an online community bulletin board, stating, “I attended the same salon in Cheongdam-dong as Cha Ye-ryeon 17 years ago,” has spread like wildfire.

Poster A claimed that regarding Cha Ye-ryeon, “After she finished washing her hair and came out, while staff were drying her hair, she got suddenly irritated, snapped at them, snatched the hair dryer, and dried her own hair.” The poster added, “In my eyes, it seemed like she was ignoring the staff or using them as an emotional trash can. I thought someone would come forward with information, but it is only now that this has surfaced.”

Another netizen B claimed to have worked as a staff member at the salon in question at the time, chiming in by saying, “Snatching the hair dryer out of sudden irritation was standard behavior.” He also stated, “It was an emotional wound at my young age. I had only thought, ‘She must have become nicer after getting married.’”

Comments from witnesses to Cha Ye-ryeon’s salon visit were also posted. This netizen wrote, “It is surprising. I saw her there around that time too. I remember thinking, ‘If you are going to do your hair yourself, why did you come to the salon?’”

Since getting entangled in school bullying allegations on the 29th of last month, Cha Ye-ryeon has been the subject of public criticism daily as the controversy has expanded to include questions about her character.

In response, HB Entertainment, Cha Ye-ryeon’s agency, stated on the 4th, “We are taking the current situation very seriously, in which unverified claims and speculation raised anonymously have repeatedly spread, and criticism is even directed at the actress’s family.” The agency hinted at a strong legal response by adding, “Our company will thoroughly secure relevant materials and, after legal review, respond responsibly to malicious dissemination of false facts and personal attacks.”

Cha Ye-ryeon married Joo Sang-wook in 2017 and gave birth to a daughter the following year.
