Actor Kim Seon-ho's award ceremony update was revealed, and an unexpected "photo retouching" became a hot topic among fans.
On the 28th, Fantagio released behind-the-scenes photos of Kim Seon-ho attending the 2026 K-WORLD DREAM AWARDS on its official social media. That day Kim Seon-ho graced the stage as an award presenter.
In the released photos, Kim Seon-ho, neatly dressed in a black suit, was seen looking at the camera while holding an award cue card. From the neat hairstyle to his distinct facial features, he presented a composed presence fitting for the ceremony.
However, after the photos were released, some fans' attention turned not to Kim Seon-ho's styling but to the "retouching." Compared with Kim Seon-ho's usual natural appearance, some commented that the photos seemed to have been fairly heavily retouched.
Some fans left comments such as "Please tone down the Photoshop," "Please reduce the Photoshop a little," and "Stop retouching the face," expressing disappointment. Fans' desire to see Kim Seon-ho's natural face led unexpectedly to a "Photoshop debate."
Of course, based on the released photos alone it is impossible to know exactly how much retouching was done. Since lighting, shooting conditions and color grading can all change impressions, it is difficult to conclude definitively that the retouching was "excessive."
In the end, a single pleasant photo of Kim Seon-ho serving as an award presenter sparked an unexpected controversy. While some fans lamented that "the retouching looks excessive," others said the photo itself does not look particularly awkward and "I'm not sure what's been retouched," producing divided reactions and drawing unforeseen attention.
The photo released to announce his appearance as an award presenter unexpectedly became a topic of interest precisely because it appeared to be "Photoshopped."
