AOA's Seolhyun has been targeted by netizens for her skin color.

Seolhyun is one of the most popular female idols in Korea because of her sheer beauty. However, some netizens are claiming that Seolhyun's dark skin hinders her beauty... what?

The issue arose as a couple photos of Seolhyun emphasized her dark skin. In the photos, Seolhyun is seen with an uneven foundation line. Her face is pale while her neck is way darker. In addition, Seolhyun's skin color greatly contrasted from a poster that was hanging behind her at an event.

In Korea, people tend to favor a light complexion, and some netizens think Seolhyun would be much prettier if her skin wasn't so dark. They commented, "I'm not picking on her darkness but she looks prettier with lighter skin," "To be honest, a girl needs to be pale. The only celebrity who is pretty with dark skin is Lee Hyori", "Pale celebrities such as IU, Sulli, and Goo Hye Sun probably would not be as pretty if they were dark", and more.

Meanwhile, some netizens didn't mind her dark complexion as they wrote, "Light or dark she is still pretty", "I feel bad. This girl is criticized for being dark, but her beauty isn't even affected by it.", "If she was pale then people would probably start crap about her being pale." 

Korea's ideal standard of beauty has created another controversy. What are your thoughts on the issue?
