BLACKPINK member Kim Jisoo (김지수) recently attended the Dior Spring/Summer 2027 Womenswear show in Paris, France. Dressed in a white top and a pink sheer skirt, she was a focal point for photographers. However, photos she later shared on Instagram from the event have been compared by netizens to on-site media photos and videos, sparking a debate over alleged photo editing.
Jisoo's recent appearance at Paris Fashion Week for the Dior Spring/Summer 2027 Womenswear collection show saw her in a white top and a long pink sheer skirt. Her presence attracted numerous media outlets, and many images and videos from the event quickly circulated online.
After the event, Jisoo shared several photos on her Instagram, commemorating her Paris Fashion Week experience. However, some netizens noticed discrepancies between her social media photos and the videos and images released by the media, prompting questions about potential post-production editing.
Specifically, some users pointed out that Jisoo's skin tone appeared significantly lighter in her Instagram posts compared to on-site footage. There were even suspicions that she not only adjusted her skin tone but also modified her facial features and overall appearance. One netizen sarcastically commented, "Jisoo caught editing her latest photos too much, Vogue just exposed her real look."
Others contrasted media photos with Jisoo's self-uploaded images using an "expectation vs. reality" format, with comments like, "No way, Jisoo actually whitened her photos this much." Another netizen mocked, "She really edited her photos too much."
The discussion quickly gained traction across social media platforms, with many users comparing Jisoo's Instagram photos side-by-side with on-site footage, focusing on differences in skin tone, facial contours, and overall appearance.
Notably, this isn't the first time a BLACKPINK member has faced criticism for social media photo editing. A few months prior, Jennie (제니) was also involved in a similar photo controversy that sparked online debate.
However, the current online discussions are primarily based on comparisons and speculations made by netizens using different photos and videos. It is not possible to definitively confirm the extent of Jisoo's photo editing solely from the visuals. This controversy once again highlights the ongoing discussion surrounding the perceived discrepancies between celebrity social media photos and media-captured on-site images.
