In today’s world, it’s often hard to tell if a photo has been edited or not. Some people are experts at photo manipulation, leaving no obvious signs, while other times the edits are more subtle.

The K-Pop industry and its idols are no exception. Sometimes it’s the idol’s company behind the editing, and other times the idols themselves are the culprits.

Recently, an older picture of KISS OF LIFE’s Julie caught attention because of her incredibly tiny waist. Many people commented on the photo, expressing awe and envy over her figure. One forum post even exclaimed, “I’m not joking, Julie’s waist is as big as her thigh!”

But if you know a bit about photo editing or human anatomy, it’s clear that the image has been photoshopped. Julie seems to be missing several ribs, and her right elbow appears unnaturally enlarged.

There’s even a strange, half-disappeared strand of hair across her chest.

What’s frustrating is that Julie already has an amazing body, as seen in plenty of other unedited images.

It’s disheartening that someone with such a great figure feels the need to alter herself so much.

Body image issues are a major problem in the K-Pop industry and fandom, and young fans may compare themselves to the unrealistic version of Julie in the edited photo.

Let’s hope Julie realizes how incredible her natural figure truly is!

Actor Chun Jung Myung has opened up about a devastating betrayal by his former manager, who swindled tens of billions of won from his family. The former manager, who had been trusted like family, is now serving prison time for his actions.

In the December 8 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, Chun Jung Myung shared the shocking details of his financial fraud ordeal with fellow cast members Lee Sang Min and Kim Heechul.

He explained, "I was financially defrauded by the manager I had worked with for 16 years since my debut. He forged documents to steal money and even caused huge financial losses for my parents."

A close source confirmed on December 9, "The manager mentioned on the show ultimately couldn’t repay the damages and is now serving his prison sentence for fraud."

The source also revealed that Chun Jung Myung suffered losses in the tens of billions of won. The emotional toll was severe, leading to social anxiety, and he even considered retiring from the entertainment industry due to the devastating betrayal.

Chun Jung Myung debuted in 1999 with the drama School 2 and became a household name with roles in Beijing, My Love, Fashion 70s, and What's Up Fox? However, after his role in the 2019 drama Urban Cops: KCSI, he suddenly disappeared from the spotlight, sparking concerns from fans.

An entertainment agency CEO weighed in, saying, "Celebrities, especially those with limited real-world experience, are vulnerable to scams because of their public status. Some get trapped and lose vast amounts of money after being used as figureheads."

An entertainment law expert added, "Fraud cases are tricky because proving the intent to steal is difficult. If someone makes an enticing offer, always ask, ‘Why me and not them?’ Skepticism is key."
