…NCT’s official account posted a photo with “no sincerity” by comparison. With a sloppy angle and no color correction, the photo looks as if no effort was put into it.

“Taking pictures with their foot.”
“NCT’s official photos are seriously bad… Even though they’re photos, they can’t even film TikTok. They cut off the sides so much that not all the members are visible.”
“It’s NCT’s official photo, but seriously, they can’t take good pictures. The kids’ faces and proportions are wasted lol”
“One side is too app-like and the other side is too tiring lol. I’m going crazy.”
“It looks like a picture taken from an album in the 90s, yellowish.”
“Hwasa’s [photo] is the best lol”
“Even the official photos and TikToks are really bad. Is there not a single person who can take good pictures… Please replace them..”
“When I-roaches see this, they stop whitewashing and say the right side is the actual skin tone, like this is plausible. Lol”
“The wide-angle is too much..”
“Can’t take pictures, can’t take reels, and always tagging weirdly.”
“Oh no, they’re going up on the official photos, is this really happening…”
“Can’t take NCT’s official photos, can’t take reels either, damn lol. When you compare, it’s even more irritating.”

Meanwhile, some are convinced that the photo uploaded to Hwasa’s official account is the perfect medium. However, it all comes down to personal preference!
