Photos: DJ Soda/Instagram South Korean artiste DJ Soda has revealed a distressing hair ordeal following her most recent dyeing session, taking to Instagram last week to share about it. In a post written in both Korean and English, she began by stating, 'Hair salon ruined my hair,' before elaborating on the incident. According to DJ Soda, she had decided to bleach her hair blonde again to surprise fans after completing her tour and taking a three-year break from colouring. 'I got my hair bleached at my usual salon. My hair was originally thick, full and in healthy condition from taking a three-year break from bleaching and consistent care,' she explained. However, the session went terribly wrong. 'They left the bleach on for too long, and my hair melted from the roots. In the end, I had to shave the entire back and sides of my head.' She also revealed the emotional toll it took on her. 'I was so upset that I couldn't sleep for two weeks and cried almost every day. 'It's really hard for me to look in the mirror. When I see videos fans took of me, I feel even more heartbroken.' Known for her upbeat personality and vibrant performances, the 37-year-old said her road to recovery will be long. 'It will take at least two years for my hair to fully recover,' she added. DJ Soda also urged her fans to be cautious. 'Don't end up like me – bleaching really depends on the hairstylist's skill,' she warned. 'Please seek specialists and do thorough research beforehand.' The situation took another turn when she posted an update a day later, claiming the salon had reached out – not to apologise, but to request that she take down her post. 'They contacted me asking to delete my post and offered me money and a settlement agreement,' she wrote in Korean. Rejecting the offer, DJ Soda added: 'Even if I were offered billions, it would not undo the damage to my appearance or the pain I'm currently enduring. 'I have given them ample opportunity to resolve the issue.' She further alleged that she received no apology or contact for three weeks following the incident. "All I ever wanted was for them to honestly admit their mistake and offer a genuine apology." In sharing her experience publicly, she said her intention was to prevent others from going through the same trauma. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ SODA OFFICIAL(@deejaysoda)

#SHOWBIZ: DJ Soda reveals heartbreaking hair damage after bleaching incident
SEOUL: South Korean artiste DJ Soda recently took to Instagram to share a deeply upsetting and personal experience: a hair bleaching session that went horribly awry. In a candid bilingual post (Korean and English), the 37-year-old star opened with a blunt, heartbreaking statement: "Hair salon ruined my hair." She explained that after concluding her tour and taking a three-year hiatus from hair colouring to restore her tresses' health, she decided to go blonde again as a surprise for her fans. Trusting her usual salon, she returned for the treatment, expecting professional care. "My hair was originally thick, full, and in healthy condition," she lamented. Tragically, the bleach was left on for far too long, causing her hair to 'melt' from the roots. The damage was so severe that she had no choice but to shave the entire back and sides of her head. The ordeal left DJ Soda absolutely devastated. "I was so upset that I couldn't sleep for two weeks and cried almost every day," she confessed. "It's really hard for me to look in the mirror. When I see videos fans took of me, I feel even more heartbroken." Despite her typically cheerful and energetic stage persona, DJ Soda revealed that recovery — both physically and emotionally — will be a protracted journey. She estimates it will take at least two years for her hair to fully recover. She urged fans to exercise extreme caution when considering hair bleaching, emphasising the critical importance of choosing a skilled and experienced stylist. "Don't end up like me – bleaching really depends on the hairstylist's skill. Please seek specialists and do thorough research beforehand." In a shocking follow-up post just a day later, DJ Soda made another grave accusation: instead of offering a sincere apology, the salon allegedly contacted her, requesting she delete the initial post and offering money along with a settlement agreement. "Even if I were offered billions, it would not undo the damage to my appearance or the pain I'm currently enduring," she wrote defiantly. "I have given them ample opportunity to resolve the issue." She further claimed that she had not received any apology or direct contact from the salon for three weeks following the harrowing incident. "All I ever wanted was for them to honestly admit their mistake and offer a genuine apology." By going public with her distressing story, DJ Soda hopes to raise awareness and ultimately protect others from enduring a similar trauma. Her posts have garnered widespread sympathy from fans and followers alike, with many commending her bravery and transparency in speaking out about such a personal and painful experience.
