A Korean netizen recently shared a photo of Lee Chaeyeon promoting her latest comeback, "Don't," from her 3rd Mini Album "SHOWDOWN." The original poster was shocked by the image, suggesting that it appeared excessively edited.

This sentiment resonated with many, as numerous Koreans chimed in to agree with the original poster's observation about the over-editing.
- If you look at Twitter, it doesn't look like that
- It looks exactly the same if you watch the video
- No, why edit it like that...
- Are you a fan? Really
- Who would do that to their favorite idol? I don't understand
- I can't even recognize her... Are you a fan?
- Huh? Seriously, her face without any editing is much prettier
- The editing seems to have been done incorrectly with the high-definition app...
- Are you a Chinese fan? Some Chinese users do strange things like editing...
- That photo is so different from the original photo, it's worse than not having it edited
- It looks like an image created by AI, not an edit
The discussion gained traction when an X (formerly Twitter) user also shared photos of Chaeyeon taken on the same day. These images presented a noticeable difference from the initial post, showcasing the idol in a more natural light without the apparent heavy editing.
