The photos taken by a fansite show a natural, unedited appearance that fans may find charming.

However, the “unpolished” look is concerned below the standard for a K-Pop idol’s appearance.

Many idols’ photos taken by fansites may go through an editing process that involves correcting their skin and facial features, as well as giving them an overall “better” appearance.

Netizens note that the fansite master has no ill intentions with the photos.

• “What did the fansite master do wrong?”
• “This is an idol…? *Photo*”
• “They’re saying he looks like Jang Sung Kyu and Jeon Han Gil.”
• “I don’t know much about RIIZE, but is there a reason they’re keeping him in the group? Is he an amazing singer or dancer or something?”
• “Let’s not bash the fansite master. That’s just what his face looks like naturally.”
