Happy for our leader, but who the hell is that supposed to be in that photo?

You get one of the most breathtakingly beautiful men in all existence in front of your camera, and this is the level of post-production editing you throw at him? His visuals are globally appreciated. Fellow male idols have fawned over his beauty since his debut. He was hot enough to make out with the Great Lee Hyori on stage when he was still a teen & before his very successful nosejob and career as an idol.

This is the guy that needs to be turned into a wax sculpture via airbrushing? K-photographers... get your sht together.

I don't know why they bother photographing anyone when they airbrush the photos to that extent. What's the point of going to all the trouble to get a good looking man into a studio to advertise your product when you're going to do that to the resulting image?

He doesn't need it, he's good without all the plasticising and smoothing, even his hair and shirt look like they've been drawn in. When it's that extreme he looks like something that's been taken out of a cut-scene from a game. Or was that the intention?
