Wednesday November 1, 2006 Hong Kong Because he is due to start filming 霍元甲 Ekin has abandoned his long haired look for a shaved head. It has always been said that his long hair brought luck, but for this role he was determined to shave his head. However, he firmly resisted having his girlfriend there to witness the loss of his hair, only allowing his manager and 关锦鹏 to be there. The director of the drama acknowledged that it is difficult for an actor to shave his head for a performance. he also said that he knew that at first Ekin was reluctant, but the script persuaded him that this was a drama he wanted to do. Ekin has slowly worked toward this, and today he has finally let go of his hair. Over a period he cut again, and in this way he is mentally able to accept it. When asked to do this drama Ekin didn't hesitate to cut his hair. Today he went with friends to an inside room at the hair salon. Before it was done Ekin was full of smiles. Two hours later a bare headed Ekin came out of the salon, he seemed to feel a little unaccustomed to the look. He immediately put on a woollen hat, Reporters of course wanted to know his feeling on this radical change wondering whether he had cried at the loss of his hair after so many years of long hair. He smiled and said he felt OK and it was unlikely he would cry. Ekin will be leaving for the mainland on November 6, 2006. He is expected to be working on the drama for 2 to 3 months. reporters wanted to know if Yoyo wouold be going with him. His manager Lam Shan Shan immediately said that Ekin was going to the mainland to work. Yoyo was working in Hong Kong so how could she be going with him. Afterwards Ekin went shopping to buy some new clothes to go with his new image. credits: mingpao, thesun, sina, asianfanatics. tnplace.
LOL...omg..dicky looks wayyy cuter in his bald head than ekin does...it looks odd.. maybe its jsut that i havent seen him with out his hair b4...lol..
His head shape does look funny or maybe its the camera angle. Wow, Ekin took a big sacrifice for a 3 month shooting.
I liked his long hair before...his singing is ok, acting isn't that great...I mean, I've lost respect for him after that "My wife is 18 years old" movie!
