Goo Hye Sun surprised fans by wearing a hat during her appearance on Radio Star – and there’s a funny reason behind it!

On the January 15th episode of MBC's variety show Radio Star, Goo Hye Sun joined former baseball player Choo Shin Soo, actor Kwak Si Yang, and culinary researcher Yoon Nam No, as they discussed their second acts in life under the theme "My Second Act: Clear Skies."

During the show, Goo Hye Sun opened up about her skincare routine, revealing that she brings a lot of oil blotting papers with her.

She explained, "I have very acne-prone skin. So if I don’t have oil blotting papers, my makeup gets completely wiped off."

As the conversation continued, Seojanghoon noticed Goo Hye Sun wearing a hat while letting her long hair down and asked, “If you're getting oily, wouldn't it be better to style the sides of your hair back?”

Goo Hye Sun's response? She revealed that she had planned to wash her hair that day, but "the boiler broke, so I couldn’t wash it. That’s why I wore a hat."

She then shared an amusing detail, saying, "The PD asked me to take off the hat and film without it, but right now, I can't take it off."

Fans couldn’t help but laugh at her candidness and relatable reason for keeping the hat on – sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and a hat can save the day!
