wow, that's actually pretty cool to watch.

I'll have to wait until I get home. My work computer can't handle all the animated gifs.

[TECO]

yeah, that's great.

confirms that the models and landscape we see in posters or photos are not always entirely what they look like in reality.

That's why I've always hated Playboy Magazine - although I only ever read it for the interviews.

That's funny. If you catch the picture before the change you think "hey, that's and attractive girl". Then you watch the photoshop change and you see the shiny new girl at the end. Then it changes back into the "before" pic that looked great at first, and it's a huge shock. All these models are probably bone thin anyway, and they are photoshoping away even more of their bodies. I wonder if a real world representation of their photoshopped bodies could even stand.

I think the most pronounced 'shopping is done to their jawlines.

The third picture hardly changes the shapes, mostly the brightness... a big difference though.

[Goon-Yang]

This shows you that all Koreans want to be white...lol.

Thanks for the link mayorgc.

Just in case anyone gets the wrong impression from them though, the Photoshopped images WEREN'T used in the advertisements. Nobody knows exactly why they were created then, but the consensus of commenters on the K-pop blogs is that someone just wanted to make a name for themselves.

[Gibberish]

Everyone should read the second link, the unphotoshopped ones are the ones used in the ads, the retouched ones are by someone else.

And I would so, so bang every one of them, before, after and during it all.
