Netizens hit back at the hate that Taemin got, sharing that Getty is known for brutal images, but the idol’s visuals don’t match the hurtful and mean narrative being spread. Many also shared that it wouldn’t jave been edited and that it shows off the idol’s natural visuals and just how stunning he is.
These Taemin photos in front of a live audience won’t go viral like a single screenshot of him from the same week. These pics don’t fit the narrative kpoptwt desperately wants to be true so they can bully him and live their mean girl dream. Getty Images doesn’t lie for engagement https://t.co/KxU0cBCI9Y pic.twitter.com/tBWNDLnHSB
