Fansite masters have sparked various reactions with their heavy editing of idols’ skin.

In photos taken from fansites, idols such as NCT‘s Sakuya appear to have smooth, porcelain skin.

However, unedited photos show the reality: Many idols wear often wear thick makeup and receive limited sleep, two key factors that will lead to poor skin.

Additionally, depending on the idol’s age, many younger idols will suffer from acne at some point in their teenage years.

Depending on the lighting, photographer, and more, many K-Pop idols have imperfect skin texture…

…and may suffer from the occasional pimple — just like everyone else!

So next time you’re feeling upset over your skin, remember you are not so different from idols!
