South Korea has high beauty standards, especially for its music artists. Hence, why K-Pop idols are “idols.” So, their companies will often edit their photos before posting. Their skin is often airbrushed and lightened, and body parts are smaller.

yes a majority of idols pics are edited (SOME BY THEIR OWN CHOICE) but is that rlly a surprise? we’re stuck in a cycle where we expect perfect -> they feel pressured and edit to be perfect -> we think it’s real and look to them for goals -> theyre pressured to maintain it #kpop #aespa #bts #ive #wonyoung #newjeans #lesserafim #straykids
