“Unrealistic” Before And After Photoshop Pictures Of 4th Generation Female Idol Accidentally Uploaded, Agency Flamed

As ARTMS gears up for a comeback, member Jinsoul‘s photos were uploaded to social media on May 30, 2025. Fans thought she looked absolutely stunning in the photos.

However, the company quickly deleted a photo and re-uploaded it. Fans realized that it was due to the fact that the company had uploaded an unedited version of Jinsoul’s photo initially.

Side by side, the comparison is more stark. Her hairline was pulled down to give the illusion of a smaller face, while her cheekbones and smile lines near the nose were smoothed out. Her jaw was also shortened and her arm made to look thinner.

While she looked gorgeous in both photos, fans wondered why the company had to edit her in the first place.

and shes literally stunning in the first one why do they do this https://t.co/GUzi88oN64

Many felt that the “before” looked truer to her real self.

and quite frankly the unedited photo is much more beautiful bc it actually looks like her https://t.co/O3S9Xx7p9j

Fans voiced out how “unrealistic” it was and how it made her look like a different person.

but literally why do they do that… it's so unrealistic and she looks better before… like they're not subtle edits they literally made her look like a completely diff person https://t.co/4FnJEdEu6C

While editing is prominent in every single entertainment scene, not just K-Pop, it seems as if fans are absolutely sick of it and want to see real beauty back in the media.
