LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The 20-year-old South Korean An San, already a double gold medalist in the women's and mixed teams events, became a target for online hostility at home after cutting her hair short, a look labelled "feminist" by some social media users.

Acclaimed celebrity hairstylist, Sean James, delves into this matter and believes it is utterly asinine. "I think it is terribly sad when anyone is judged on their appearance, especially when it’s just a hairstyle on a 20-year-old kid," states James. "Hairstyles are easily changed, unfortunately people hiding behind keyboards churning out negativity are usually projecting things they don’t like about themselves."

An San kept South Korea's Olympic flag flying in women's archery on Friday as she took the individual title, shrugging off online bullying over her hairstyle to become the first archer to win three golds at a single Games.

James continues, "I love her beautifully short hair, she exudes confidence and there’s something so striking about a woman’s face when it’s cropped so perfectly. When I cropped Jamie lee Curtis hair for the first time, she was in shock but she loved how easy it was to do and how it looks good anywhere she goes. Maybe An just wanted to stop worrying about her hair and focus on her task at hand at the Olympics."

Top-seeded An held her nerve as her final and semi-final went to shootoffs, downing Elena Osipova of the Russian Olympic Committee to take gold. Lucilla Boari claimed bronze to become the first Italian female archer to win an Olympic medal.

"How about we stop judging people and start trying to have some self-awareness of our effects on others when we start tapping away on keyboards," concludes James.
