'BOYS24' criticized for excessive photoshopping on contestants' profiles

[GirlGroupTrash]

Mnet's new male idol competition program 'BOYS24' is under fire for excessively photoshopping their contestants' profiles. 

 

Following the past first episode, viewers ranted complaints about the actual visuals of the contestants. Netizens claimed that they were shocked and disappointed at the great difference between the contestants' profile pictures revealed prior to the show, and their real visuals.

The majority of the contestants looked different from their profile pictures, which seemed photoshopped to make them look slimmer, sharper, and ultimately handsomer.

 

Netizens complained, "Wow..They are not as handsome as I thought..Actually they are quite ugly..", "They are god looking, but not as much as their profile pictures", "That's too much photoshop. Some look totally different", etc. 

 

Take a look at the comparisons below. Did 'BOYS24' go overboard with all the photoshopping? 

 

EDIT: I'm not a hater but DAMN these are kinda funny to look at the photoshop is too real

jesus christ this is even worse from the examples I've seen....

so, do people suddenly not know how angles, lighting, and make up work? yeah, some of the profile photos were really badly photoshopped, but the guys aren't that bad. awkward screenshots from the episode hardly represent their looks. i'm so tired of people attacking them...

YIKES. On the positive side, I actually think this kid is much cuter in real life than in his profile pic, his dimples are adorable~

 

[okey dokey]

He slightly look like crush...

 

Edit:

For those of you who don't know crush, here's what he looks like
