Super Junior’s Shindong is getting attention for a playful post in which he made it clear that his latest photos were actually real and not created with AI.
On October 10, Shindong shared several new photos on social media after recently posting a number of AI-generated images.
He joked, *“I’ve been posting so many AI photos lately that I thought you might have forgotten my real face, so I brought some actual photos.”*
Shindong then added in English, *“Not AI this time, just the real me,”* emphasizing that the noticeably different appearance in the photos was really him.
The singer also shared updates from a recent trip to Tokyo and continued joking with fans about the pictures.
He wrote, *“There wasn’t a spot for me on the D&E poster, so I stood in front of it,”* before asking fans to choose their favorite image.
Shindong added, *“Tell me which photo you like the most. Mine is No. 7.”*
His slimmer face and overall appearance quickly drew attention.
Shindong previously revealed that he had lost around 37 kilograms, going from a reported peak weight of 116 kilograms to approximately 79 kilograms over several months.
He has also spoken publicly about trying different approaches to weight management before continuing through changes to his daily habits.
Rather than focusing only on another weight-loss update, Shindong turned the attention into a lighthearted exchange with fans, joking that his current appearance had become different enough for him to clarify that the photos were *“the real me.”*
