Recent photos from the infamous Getty website have fans gushing over BTS Jungkook‘s visuals after showcasing his unedited beauty.
While Jungkook looks flawless, he and the rest of BTS suffer the same fate as many K-Pop idols when it comes to photos. A lot of the time, beautiful photos of idols will be edited, and this could include “whitewashing” their skin color and editing out anything deemed “imperfect.”
Well, it seems like a recent schedule has shown that not all media outlets excessively photoshop idols, as Jungkook’s natural and unedited visuals, were allowed to shine.
Jungkook is currently in America to promote his new track “Seven” and has been treating fans to all sorts of content from his GMA performance to even live broadcasts.
One of the most recent schedules was a visit to the Elvis Duran show. Although the prerecorded interview isn’t due to air until July 19, photos were released of the idol during the schedule.
Yet, while Jungkook always looks flawless in photos during schedules, netizens sometimes notice that Korean media outlets often tend to over-edit. It was shown during Jungkook’s appearance on the Elvis Duran show. Although it was pretaped, Getty Images came through for ARMYs with some stunning pictures of the idol.

In particular, in the close-up pictures of Jungkook during the recording, it seems like the photographer had barely touched or edited.
The photos showed Jungkook’s flawless visuals. The authenticity could be seen through the color of his cheeks, and the fact that the photos showed his scar.

As always, Jungkook proves just how dazzling his visuals are all the time. In particular, the contrast in photos from Korean media outlets and Western outlets shows the difference in beauty standards. In the recent photos, although Getty is known for being brutal, these shots allowed Jungkook’s natural visuals to shine all their glory.
