"Customer Service Face" — The Stark Contrast Between K-Pop Idols On- And Off-Camera Captured In One Gif

As much as we hope that most K-Pop idols enjoy what they do, it’s still a job that undoubtedly includes aspects that aren’t as fun as others. Despite this, though, they’re pretty much expected to always appear composed and even happy when they’re in public, even if they’re having a hard time.

When they’re not on camera, though, it’s hard to say how much differently some of them might act or appear. Though we like to think we know our favorite idols pretty well, there’s a lot about them that isn’t known by anyone apart from those who are genuinely closest to them.

Recently, a gif that shows how quickly some idols can go from their “customer service face” to their regular expression has caught attention online on a public forum, and it’s pretty amusing to see!

The gif features THE BOYZ members Juyeon and Younghoon, who are taking part in some kind of photoshoot. While their pictures are being taken, they have bright smiles on their face and look genuinely happy to be there.

However, as soon as the camera flashes and they aren’t being photographed, their expressions pretty much instantly change to something much more neutral.

Netizens have left comments on the post relating to how the two idols must feel, with many having similar experiences working in customer service or appealing to family members.
