Netizens 'face palm' at Starship Entertainment's notable editing mistake with IVE's backstage photo

AKP STAFF

Netizens are 'laughing and crying' at Starship Entertainment's presumable photo-editing mistake.

On an online forum, netizens are talking about a recent photo uploaded on IVE's official Twitter account. The photo in question was taken following the group's world tour concert, and netizens immediately caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans for one peculiar detail.

Upon closer inspection of the photo above, fans noticed something amiss. The lower half of group member Gaeul's arm was unnaturally cut off, faded into a blurred effect. This oversight left fans perplexed and "embarrassed" on behalf of Starship Entertainment, whose staff members presumably missed this error.

In the comments section, fans and netizens expressed their amusement, with some wondering how this kind of blunder could happen in the first place.

Reactions include:

"What were they even trying to do??"
"LOL what's happened to her arm"
"I can't even believe this is from their official account lol"
"Starship has done it again"
"So embarrassing..."
"I guess they heavily edit their photos"

"I think they were trying to edit their skin and made this mistake"
"Who was in charge of this..."
"I don't know what they were doing with the photo"
"LOL were they trying to edit their entire bodies to fit together? lol"
"Why was that editing part even necessary lmao"
"Were they trying to edit out some kind of object??"
"T___T Why were they trying to edit a backstage photo"
"Even Wonyoung's arms look strange"
"They should have cross-checked..."
"Sometimes the members stand next to each other in an awkward way, so they try to close the gap through Photoshop"
"I think they were trying to make the members' bodies and faces more proportionate to each other, so that one person doesn't look too smaller than the other, and the same thing with their height"
"Maybe they were using Night Mode and that part just came out blurry automatically by mistake?"

"They still should have checked"

She's in her rebellious phase, they had to blur her flipping off the camera.

Almost every kpop photo is edited. That's why when these idols go abroad where photos are not edited, they look different or with imperfections.

and I never trust fan photos that super edit to the point that they make a totally different person.
