Here's Why Red Velvet's Joy Avoids Selfies And Filter Apps When Taking Photos For Social Media

Singles recently shared an interview of Red Velvet‘s Joy where she revealed all of her secrets behind her picture-taking ways that lead to her gorgeous social media photos.

During the interview, Joy was asked whether she preferred taking selfies or having someone else take photos of her.

And she shared her honest thoughts.

Strangely, photos that other people take of me turn out a lot better. I thought was good at taking selfies, but fans told me that I’m horrible. So these days, I just ask the people around me to take photos for me.

Furthermore, Joy explained that between using a normal camera and using a filter app to take selfies, she much prefers taking photos with a normal camera despite the imperfections.

I like using normal cameras a lot more.

— Joy

And her reason? Because she wants to preserve the realism and life in her photos.

When you use filter apps, there’s no sense of realism or life. Because it looks artificial, I prefer using normal cameras even if it shows all of my imperfections.

Joy has been gaining attention for her gorgeous social media photos for quite some time.

It has also been revealed that Park Myung Soo, who is a fellow cast of Joy on tvN‘s More Salty Tour, is one of the photographers around Joy who does an amazing job at capturing her beauty.

Fans are responding to Joy’s reveal with comments such as “She hasn’t been using an app for her photos???“, “That’s only possible because she’s Joy“, and “If I was Joy, I wouldn’t need an app either“.
