TWICE’s Nayeon A Victim Of Serious Whitewashing In Recent Content
TWICE‘s Nayeon has faced major whitewashing in recent content.
Nayeon’s recent video for KODE featured the idol trying to guess BTOB‘s Eunkwang.
After the video was posted, Eunkwang joined Nayeon on TWICE’s TikTok page to do the “Strategy” challenge.
After watching the two, a netizen noticed that Nayeon was whitewashed in the OG video as she seemed much lighter compared to the TikTok, even saying how obvious it was because of the difference in her clothing between the two videos.
