• "Wonyoung's arm too" — Confusion arises as IVE's Gaeul appears to be missing an arm in recent concert backstage photo

    Netizens are scratching their heads as IVE's Gaeul appears to be missing an arm in a recent backstage photo from the group's concert.

    On October 8, IVE held the second day of their 'Show What I Have' 1st world tour concert in Seoul. After the concert, 'IVE OFFICIAL' shared backstage and concert stage photos on their Twitter page.

    While the atmosphere was electric and everyone had a blast, one photo left many netizens puzzled.

    It was a group picture of the IVE members backstage, all dressed in white stage outfits and striking poses for the camera.

    But upon closer inspection, Gaeul seemed to be missing her entire right arm, which appeared to be cut off at her elbow.

    Netizens wasted no time in criticizing the person handling IVE's Twitter account, suspecting that this strange photo might be the result of unnecessary Photoshop editing on the IVE members.

    Here's what some netizens had to say:

    "How do you even edit a photo to make an entire arm disappear?"

    "Even if it was taken at night, shouldn't they have double-checked before posting?"

    "Wonyoung's arm looks strange too."

    "Such 'impressive' work; sarcasm intended."

    "Maybe they used night mode on the camera?"

    "Rei and Gaeul are already known for their slim figures among 4th generation idols. No need to Photoshop them."

    What are your thoughts?

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
