On social media, the brand posted some photos of Jungkook looking absolutely handsome AF. Whether it was wearing a cropped vest, statement white t-shirt, or baring his abs, Jungkook undoubtedly left ARMYs hot under the collar with some of the looks.

Yet, after the photos were posted, netizens noticed something strange about one of the images. In one of the photos, Jungkook was showcasing his unreal side profile and his visuals.

Netizens realized that the idol’s nose looked very different from the other photos. Because it was later in the thread, it was only a few days after the photos had been posted that ARMYs noticed the difference and, in the comments, fans called out the brand’s editing team.

If you want to be a respected fashion brand, especially in this era, modifying people's face/ body is a big no bc it conveys a toxic message against body acceptance.
Stop editing people's appearance and give us back Jungkook's nose. You can't use him and then don't appreciate him https://t.co/NNGgZwSjnN

Please hire other retouchers, because the nose on the left is not JK's.. it's insulting that you even think he NEEDS editing like that.

Fix your beauty ideals. https://t.co/bVxYo2xJ3T

While it’s not common for brands to edit photos, the fact that Jungkook’s nose was completely different unsurprisingly raised anger among fans.
