아이들's Mi-yeon 'over-edited' selfie causes stir among fans

A selfie posted by Mi-yeon, a member of the group (G)I-DLE, has become a hot topic among fans due to unnatural editing.

The photo, uploaded to (G)I-DLE's official X (formerly Twitter) account on the 9th, features several awkward elements. Notably, Mi-yeon's fingers, which are covering her chin, appear bent and distorted, showing clear signs of Photoshop when zoomed in. The editing also alters her original facial structure, creating an unnatural appearance.

Fans expressed their reactions, commenting, "She's beautiful as is, why the need for editing?" and "Look at her bent fingers," and "She looks so different from her real self."

This incident follows a similar situation with another member, Soojin, who had requested her original photos be posted but instead saw a heavily edited version. She voiced her frustration, stating, "I'm angry that the company photoshopped it weirdly," and "I asked them not to photoshop, but they made a strange picture."

Korean netizens reacted with a mix of amusement and concern, with many agreeing that the members are beautiful without any retouching. Comments like "Why do they edit when the members are already perfect?" and "This is so obvious Photoshop, it's almost funny" were common.
