Han Hye Jin is the cover girl of the July 2019 of Harper Bazaar. Her whole body is covered with black paint(or maybeedited) . Do you think this is another “blackface” controversy or it is just artsy? let me know your thoughts.

1. [+3,299, -68] There are black people on Han Hye Jin's Instagram calling this blackface and a caricature of their features but how? Just because you paint yourself black doesn't mean you're black. Their inferiority complex is a sickness. You have to see art as art, and she looks amazing.
2. [+1,299, -32] You can really see her effort~~ looking cool ^^ I support you~~
3. [+874, -32] Mannequin body..
4. [+709, -79] In a generation of plastic surgery ^^ as a fellow woman, I'm so jealous of her body. She looks amazing, so artistic~
5. [+628, -44] I'm so jealous of her as a woman, I wish I was born with her body in my next life
6. [+215, -7] I think true art is when you're naked but there's no feeling of cheapness or eroticism to it. She just puts me in awe.
7. [+133, -6] I'm a man and this is art for sure... she's all nude but this just looks so artistic to me...
8. [+113, -5] How are people seeing this as black? She painted herself in a stone-like texture. Where is this racism controversy coming from? Pfft. Anyway, her body is amazing. So artistic and beautiful.

2. [+1,106, -33] This seriously looks like a graphic design picture ㅋㅋ
3. [+89, -3] This looks really cool, not sexy at all. It looks almost computer generated.
4. [+82, -5] Wow... despite being all nude, she just looks beautiful.
5. [+67, -0] She looks like a mannequin you'd see at the mall ㅋㅋㅋ

I don't understand how there is even a debate about this?
Why would people think something like this is racist or has anything to do with "black face"?
It's so blatantly obvious that the intention of this photo shoot was NOT to make her look like a black person. I didn't even remotely think of something like that when I first looked at the picture and was surprised that people actually brought this up.
They made not only her skin but everything on her, including her hair, nails and accessories, a chrome, metallic black tone. It is not even supposed to look like skin. They rather went for a somewhat futuristic, non-human look and I don't see how people can interpret it as racism or an appropriation of black skin or anything like that.
It's just art.
