Actress Go Eun-ah shared her transplant process on the family YouTube channel Bangane. Star Today's September 29, 2021 report covered a video released the previous day, including consultation and surgery-day details. It also described her wish to wear her hair swept back.

Her account gives the procedure a personal context: wanting to choose a particular hairstyle. That wish and her experience do not establish a precise hair-loss diagnosis or a suitable treatment for other women.
Mir: discussing an additional procedure

Mir, known for the group MBLAQ, used the same channel to discuss additional transplantation. On February 26, 2021, Star Today reported that he had described a 500-hair touch-up in the previous day's video and expressed satisfaction. This was his personal account at the time.

The word “touch-up” alone does not establish that the first operation failed or that every patient needs another procedure. The report confirms a public disclosure; judging the clinical reasons or long-term outcome would require more information.
Kim Hak-rae and Park Joon-hyung: sharing experiences on television

Kim Hak-rae discussed having hair moved from the back of his head to the front on KBS2's Yeo-yu-man-man on June 30, 2014. Korea Economic TV reported his statement that day. Korea Economic TV report, in Korean
Their experiences later became part of a March 21, 2021 episode of JTBC's Don't Be the First One!. Hankook Ilbo's report the next day described Park Joon-hyung's disclosure, Kim's account, and a lighthearted gathering called “Momoi-m.” Hankook Ilbo report, in Korean
The segment brought personal experiences into everyday conversation and comedy. However, someone being mentioned or contacted during that gathering does not, by itself, confirm that they had surgery.
Kwon Jae-kwan: sharing numbers as well as the experience
JTBC’s Don’t Be the First One!, via Sports Kyunghyang · Source article.
On the June 20, 2021 episode of Don't Be the First One!, Kwon Jae-kwan discussed earlier hair transplantation. Sports Kyunghyang reported his statement that he underwent three procedures of 2,000 hairs each in 2005. The headline's 6,000-hair figure reflects that account. Sports Kyunghyang report, in Korean
Memorable numbers are not an outcome ranking. Nor should a news report's hair count automatically be read as a graft count on a clinic's estimate. In its explanation of strip transplantation, the NHS describes grafts containing one to four hairs. Check what a number measures before comparing it. NHS hair transplant guide
Can a celebrity's experience guide your own decision?
A public account cannot predict your result. The American Academy of Dermatology explains that candidacy depends on having sufficient healthy donor hair and an area capable of growing the transplanted hair. Hair loss can continue after surgery, so a doctor may recommend medication. AAD hair transplant guide
An immediate postoperative appearance is not the final result. The NHS advises that full results can take 10–18 months and describes risks including bleeding, infection, and scarring. A television testimonial cannot guarantee effectiveness or safety. NHS hair transplant guide
For a consultation, useful questions include:
- What is causing my hair loss, and how is it progressing?
- How much donor hair can safely be harvested?
- Does the estimate count individual hairs or grafts?
- How does the plan account for future hair loss and recovery?
Seek a dermatologist's assessment before pursuing surgery if your loss is sudden, patchy, associated with scarring or pain, or rapidly worsening. Identifying the cause is the starting point for choosing treatment. AAD hair-loss diagnosis and treatment
From wanting to wear their hair swept back to sharing a laugh about surgery, each person brings their own concerns and choices to the conversation. For someone curious about hair transplantation, hearing those experiences discussed openly can be welcome in itself.
