Actor Kim Seon-ho faces fan criticism over photo editing

Actor Kim Seon-ho has become the subject of discussion among fans following the release of behind-the-scenes photos from the ‘2026 K-WORLD DREAM AWARDS’. The images, released by his agency Fantagio, show the actor attending the ceremony as a presenter in a black suit and white shirt.

While many fans welcomed his appearance, some expressed dissatisfaction regarding the level of digital photo editing applied to his face. Commenters on social media requested that the agency reduce the amount of retouching, suggesting that the facial shapes appeared unnatural compared to his usual appearance.

Some observers noted that it is difficult to determine the exact extent of editing, as lighting, camera angles, and color grading can significantly alter how a person looks in professional photography. Despite the debate, the consensus among many supporters is a preference for his natural appearance and characteristic smile.
