I think there is literally nothing worse than seeing a pic of your bias and your heart doing a little jump and you want to reblog but then you notice it’s whitewashed to hell and you can’t support that crap so you have to pass it by…

This is a clear exlanation tho about #fansite #kpop and #whitewash

cr : @ksymh on twitter

very informative! I didn’t know light worked like that

Let’s see how the recoloring blogs think of this since they’re basically ignoring our attempts on telling the truth. Stealing and editing idols photographer’s pictures can be taken as a crime. stop reblogging posts that says things about ‘their real skin tone’ and spread these facts instead. I didn’t put up a long post for nothing and people should really hear what korean fans think about this. I’m happy that @ksymh explained this issue, this isn’t my profession so this would add up to my posts possibly.

why is this girl using white balance on a portrait?? (I’m a photographer like I get paid for my photos) You don’t use white balance it screws with skin tone. Maintaining a person’s skin tone to where they still aren’t white in Photoshop is simple. I have photographed my friends (who are Asain btw) in all different types of lighting and they have never looked white? There is 0 reason to white-wash an idol so...

You're doing the lord's work bb keep doing what ya do

thank you so much, recently I have been doubting what I’ve been doing because of that one girl, then I remembered on the internet people pretend to be people they aren’t so I asked my Asian friends (one who lived in China for basically her entire life) what they thought and every single one of them had a positive response so I’m gonna keep doing what I’m doing. Also on the “photography” things the one girl sent me I am a photographer I get paid to do photography and not white-washing people in photography isn’t all that hard, and if you do screw up photoshop exist so there is like 0 reasons to have an idol look white when they arent...

if you care about knowing the truth on what you're doing right now, read my posts on my blog about the recoloring issue. As a korean person these photos are making their skin tones way darker. Stop spreading wrong information please.

Hi there! I’m not quite sure if you actually went through my blog or just looked up recoloring blogs, but the photos I edit are ones that have been specifically edited to make them look whiter. I’m finding photos that have already been white washed and fixing them I am not taking non-white washed photos and making them darker. I am sorry you feel that I am spreading wrong info, but making kpop idols look white is wrong info and I am simply fixing that. I do have I think maybe 2 photos on my blog where the lighting is totally wrong and makes them look very white, but five seconds in photoshop and you can fix the lighting. Like I said I’m sorry you feel this way, but you should be messaging the people who make idols look overly pale and white, not one of the people fixing it (and a few poorly lit photos as well)

I already know you and a lot of recoloring blogs take whitewashed photos and recolor them on what you think is their ‘natural skin color’ , and i wanted to say that they are paler than what you recolor them as. Care to look at my posts and discussions i had with another recoloring blog like yours? Stop recoloring please. International fans need to stop spreading false information and create streotypes.

[recoloringkpop]

I'm not quite sure which one of my photos you are referring could you please provide an example of which one of my photos you think I have edited to make too dark?

[recoloringkpop]

hey, can you recolor any recent picture of choi kisu pls?

Just posted it!! (I was pleasantly surprised to find that almost all pictures of him aren’t whitewashed!)

[recoloringkpop]

Recolored Kisu

DO NOT LIGHTEN

(also small authors note, Kisu has naturally paler skin so that’s why there isn’t a significant difference in the photos since I basically just had to turn down the brightness a smidge)
