ARMY Reimagines BTS 2022 FESTA Portraits By Unwhitewashing Them

ARMYs were disappointed by how whitewashed the members appeared.

FESTA season is upon us! Every year, BTS honor their June 13 debut with a release of new content, and this year, they are celebrating their 9th anniversary.

BTS kicked off the celebration with brand new “family portraits,” a tradition since 2014.

They recreated some iconic photos from the past too.

Still, ARMYs were disappointed in the choices made by the photo editors. They recognized that the members looked unusually pale due to over-editing to give them clearer and whitened skin.

One ARMY, in particular, took it into their own hands and re-edited the 2022 FESTA family portraits, attempting to restore BTS’s natural complexions. Dani (@B0KITAE on Twitter) went through all of the photos released, editing every individual one until the members looked more like themselves again!

So, here are all 20+ of dani’s edits, unwhitewashing BTS alongside the original photos released by BIGHIT MUSIC to show the stark difference…
