On the other hand, fans came to his defense, commenting that Jungkook’s visuals were the product of natural aging and that he was handsome regardless.
Idols having Botox, plastic surgery, fillers, and constant cosmetic touch ups have ruined people’s perception so much that they can’t even recognize what a normal human looks like anymore. https://t.co/1jLRQIIURO
