The highly anticipated series, starring Byeon Woo Seok, went viral when some Korean netizens claimed IU’s legs looked unnaturally long in the image, sparking accusations of heavy editing.

However, behind-the-scenes footage from the photoshoot tells a different story. IU is seen leaning forward at an angle while wearing high heels, factors that can naturally make her legs appear longer without any digital changes.

As the video spread, many netizens pushed back against the claims and debunked the controversy.

• “They don’t even look that long, just normal. What’s the issue?”
• “It doesn’t look any different from the original. And honestly, what’s wrong with a bit of editing anyway? People run their AI profile pics like crazy and then complain… Ridiculous lol.”
• “She’s basically perched at the edge and leaning, plus she’s wearing killer heels, so the angle of her feet makes her legs look longer. Why are people forcing this criticism?”
• “It’s just her pose that makes her legs look longer. It looks good, what’s the problem?”
• “There are still idiots losing their minds because IU is doing well. They probably came into this post just to get mad and leave. I seriously don’t get people who resent others’ success, it’s hopeless. Go to a hospital and get some meds.”
• “Isn’t it just because she’s wearing heels? What editing are they even talking about lol. People are seriously disgusting.”
