Lingard spent eight months without a side after leaving the City Ground, before penning a two-year deal in the Korean capital.
The former Manchester United star has scored four goals in 16 league matches for Seoul this season, who sit seventh in the K League 1.
Lingard showed off his new trim in an interview with GQ Korea and admitted to visiting his barber at least once a week.
The ex-England international said: "Every time I get a haircut, I like to brush. I need to be looking fresh.

"Most of our games are on television, I like to look fresh.
"Probably once a week, I get a haircut. Very popular in England, this haircut."
Old team-mate Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who spent five years at United, was quick to compliment Lingard's new locks.
He commented: "I like the hair bro," on his Instagram post.

Another added: "Bro actually looks Korean now."
Lingard, who used to be partially blamed for Man Utd's downturn, recently opened up about the crisis at his boyhood club where he spent 22 years.
He told BBC Sport: "They will always be one of the biggest clubs in the world and fans will support them through thick and thin.
"It might be a long-term project with Ruben Amorim. He knows what he wants to do.
"It's tough when you're not in the Champions League to attract players so he was relying on winning the Europa League.
"It's harder to recruit when you're not in the Champions League. It's 100 per cent a factor."
Lingard moved to West Ham on loan a year before his Forest switch and the Englishman bagged nine goals in 16 games.
But he struggled at the City ground, featuring just 20 times before being released after a string of injuries in summer 2023.
He revealed "life's good" in Korea and believes he has rapidly adapted to the different style of football.
The United academy star also admitted to scoffing McDonalds and Papa Johns since moving to Korea.

Rory McIlroy's star-studded line-up of neighbours in UK mansion after Masters win
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Following his Masters victory and the completion of his career grand slam, Rory McIlroy is set to move his family to London. The 36-year-old ended his major drought last month by securing the only major championship missing from his impressive resume, joining a select group of golfers who have won the career grand slam. This was a significant accomplishment for McIlroy, who celebrated the win by returning to his hometown of Holywood in Northern Ireland to visit his parents. However, before landing in Belfast, he, his wife Erica Stoll, and their daughter Poppy made a brief stop in London in their private jet to view the Surrey mansion they plan to move into. For several years, McIlroy and his family have lived in a grand home in Jupiter, Florida, a neighbourhood filled with ultra-wealthy golfers, actors, and business people, according to the Irish Mirror, reports Belfast Live. The sunny Florida weather undoubtedly complements McIlroy's golfing aspirations, as its climate and resources allow him to practice year-round. However, the five-time major champion has not kept secret his and his wife's desire to move to the UK, with the couple buying a property on the Wentworth Golf Club estate a few years ago. After reportedly spending over €10 million on renovations to the Surrey home, the McIlroys are now expected to move in next month. In doing so, they will join a long list of famous names who have chosen to live in an area known for its exclusivity. In the elite circles of golf, Rory McIlroy's new neighbours will include the likes of South African golfing hero Ernie Els and former Ryder Cup skipper Thomas Bjorn. Fellow Irishman Paul McGinley is just around the corner in Sunningdale, with ex-Ryder Cup leader Sam Torrance also in the vicinity. Golf rivalry and camaraderie are ripe in the area with Justin Rose, whom McIlroy triumphed over in a thrilling Masters playoff, also calling this prestigious neighbourhood home. Away from the fairways, former Chelsea mainstay John Terry, now turned golf enthusiast, resides near the Wentworth course, alongside former England cricket star Kevin Pietersen who shares a passion for the greens. Historical figures like Formula One's Eddie Jordan have been past locals, with Ukrainian football ace Andriy Shevchenko also previously settling in the area. Amongst the illustrious residents, McIlroy will count global power figures like the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah of Wentworth Estate, and Russian business magnate Petr Aven as neighbours, not to mention Tullow Oil founder Aidan Heavey who has stakes in the estate.

Wentworth's luxury and its prime location near London and international gateways have lured a diverse array of prominent personalities. Music industry giants such as Elton John and Cliff Richard have previously had residences there, while Wentworth Estate's notorious past includes hosting Chile's one-time ruler Augusto Pinochet, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and the renowned chat show host Michael Parkinson. However, life amongst such grandeur isn't without its downsides; Gary Numan confessed to Uncut music magazine in 2019 his worries about spectral presences, "I had a big neo-Georgian house on Wentworth golf course, but I was convinced it was haunted. "Some weird s*** had been going on – I'd come home and the house was in darkness when I was convinced I'd left the lights on. "So one day, I made a point of turning on every single light in the house. I got back from the studio and – f*** me – the house was in total darkness."

Simone Inzaghi still tells his kids about Celtic as 'special' Hoops leave both Champions League Final managers stunned
Both managers in tonight's showpiece final have had plenty of nice words to say about Celtic It's a Champions League Final for the ages in Munich – but if you listen to both managers, they might rather it was taking place at Celtic Park. Simone Inzaghi's Inter take on Luis Enrique's PSG at the Allianz Arena as two of Europe's best sides officially bring the curtain down on season 2024/25. The Italians dumped Enrique's former team Barcelona in one of the all-time great semi-finals while French champions PSG sweeped three of the Premier League's best in Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal to reach this stage. It wasn't so long ago though that each of them were sitting in the dugout at Parkhead. Back in 2016, Enrique brought his Barca side to Glasgow for a Champions League clash and they were confident – having put seven past the Hoops in Spain. The damage this time wasn't as devastating, a Lionel Messi double the extent of it as Barca picked up a comfortable 2-0 win. Speaking ahead of it, Enrique said: Luis Enrique: 'It will be special because they are a great club with a spectacular atmosphere and we must enjoy it to the fullest and give the best possible account of ourselves. "We will be happy to go to one of the best stadiums in Europe in terms of atmosphere knowing that their fans will have a great sporting image and offer their full support to the team.' Inzaghi was even more gushing in 2019 when his Lazio side were gunned down in the Europa League. And speaking after the game when Christopher Jullien's goal gave Celtic a late 2-1 win, he couldn't have been more effusive in his praise. The gushing boss said: "The Celtic game is a match I will be telling my children about for many years. In fact, I actually brought my oldest child with me because I knew how good it would be. "Yes, we lost to Celtic, but they are a quality team who play at a very high pace and to a very good standard. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
