It's traditionally associated with being a criminal. More recently, with being a soldier. Korean men actually wear their hair quite long, I think. No ponytails, but usually two-three inches long. I think it's because they don't sweat as much as we do in the humid weather. That said, I have had friends, both bald and non-bald, that shaved their heads. It never got more than a grunt from Koreans on the street, and it was a good conversation starter with girls. Sooo....don't worry about it.
