The OP verified that the person in the image is indeed Red Velvet’s Joy, stating, “This is Red Velvet’s Joy.“
In the comments section, numerous people shared their confusion regarding the teaser photo. Netizens pointed out how heavily edited Joy appeared and were surprised by her unrecognizable appearance. Some even compared her to other idols such as Soojin, (G)I-DLE Soyeon, Nam Gyuri, and NMIXX Sullyoon.
View the feedback provided by them below:
- “I thought it was (G)I-DLE Soyeon.”
- “More than the editing, I find the styling just so countrified. Joy is so pretty but they hide all of that.”
- “That’s not Sullyoon?”
- “Who? Who are you? That’s not Joy?”
- “What, that’s Joy? I thought it was Jeon Soyeon.
- “Wow, I don’t see Joy at all.”
- “I thought it was Nam Gyuri.”
- “So, I wasn’t the only one who thought it was Jun Soyeon.”
- “I thought it was Soojin?”
International fans were also confused by the teaser photo, as they noted that Joy’s natural beauty did not require any editing.
- “I didn’t recognize her at all, they edited her face so much.”
- “I thought it was AI made with how cursed the edit looks.”
- “Center 3 you’re going to hell.”
- “I’m guessing they edited the teasers like that to give a ‘cosmic or ethereal’ vibe but these set of teasers were so badly edited on the girls.”
- “For a beautiful girl like joy, it wasn’t needed at all.”
- “Never seen an edit this unrecognizable.”
- “Joy looks like a goddess without any help of heavy editing they shouldn’t have done injustice to Joy’s ethereal face like that.”
- “That’s supposed to be Joy? Looks like a Soojin and Soyeon hybrid.”
- “That’s her evil sister Misery.”
- “It really did not register to me at all that the girl in the picture is Joy. Somebody fire whoever edited that.”
- “This is too edited it doesn’t even look like a real person.”
