NCT’s Sakuya faces backlash over fansite photo edits
Fansite masters are under fire for heavy editing of idols’ skin in photos. Sakuya from NCT is a prime example. Edited fansite images show him with porcelain-smooth skin.
Unedited versions reveal the truth: idols often wear thick makeup and get limited sleep, causing less-than-perfect skin.
Younger idols like Sakuya can deal with acne during their teen years, normalizing pimples and skin texture issues.
Other idols, including aespa’s Winter, former EXO member Luhan, and MONSTA X’s I.M, have also been shown with natural skin imperfections.
Fans are reminded idols face typical skin problems just like everyone else.
The controversy around photo edits is gaining traction as fans compare unfiltered and polished images. No official statements from fansites or agencies yet.
