Actress Goo Hye Sun is caught in the middle of an unexpected controversy after wearing a hat during a TV appearance.
On the January 15th episode of MBC’s Radio Star, Goo Hye Sun joined Choo Shin Soo, Kwak Si Yang, and Yoon Nam No for a themed broadcast titled “My Second Act, Clear Skies.”
While the other guests showed up in polished outfits, Goo Hye Sun opted for a casual look, wearing her hair down and a hat.
She opened up on the show, saying, “I brought a lot of oil blotting sheets for today’s shoot,” explaining her struggles with acne-prone skin. “Without them, my makeup doesn’t last. I use more than 10 sheets a day.”
When asked about her hat, she candidly revealed, “I was about to wash up, but my boiler broke, so I couldn’t wash my hair. That’s why I wore a hat.” She added, “The PD suggested I take it off for filming, but I wasn’t in a condition to remove it.”

Kim Gu Ra playfully responded, “So, what’s the plan for oily skin and unwashed hair?” drawing laughter from the audience.
However, the light-hearted moment sparked criticism online after the episode aired. Some viewers labeled Goo Hye Sun’s choice “disrespectful,” while others came to her defense, saying, “Wearing a hat is her personal choice.”

On January 16th, Goo Hye Sun addressed the buzz through her social media. She confidently wrote, “Wearing a hat is my freedom. While I’m at it, here’s my hat collection,” sharing several photos of herself rocking different hats.
As the debate continues, Goo Hye Sun’s unapologetic response has sparked discussions about personal freedom and style on public broadcasts.
