IVE’s Gaeul Appears To Be Missing An Arm In A Concert Backstage Photo, Confusing Netizens.

After IVE’s Gaeul appeared to be missing an arm in the group’s most recent concert backstage photo, internet users voiced confusion.

Day 2 of IVE’s first international tour, “Show What I Have,” took place in Seoul on October 8 KST. After the show, ‘IVE OFFICIAL’ posted some backstage and concert stage pictures of the band on their Twitter page. Even while everyone was having a great time, including the artists and fans, one particular snapshot had many internet users furrow their brows. The image in question was a group shot of the IVE members backstage, with the girls arranged in a line, posing for the camera in their white stage attire. Member Gaeul appeared to be missing her entire right arm, severed at the elbow, upon closer inspection.

Internet users swiftly chastised IVE’s Twitter account manager, speculating that the peculiar image was probably the product of needless retouching applied to the IVE members.

Internet users said:

“What kind of photo editing do you need to do, in order to make an entire arm disappear?”

“I get that it was at night, but how can you just upload a photo without a member’s arm, without even double-checking?”
“Even Wonyoung’s arm looks weird in the photo.”
“Wow, such genuine work (sarcasm).”
“Camera was on night mode I guess…”
“Among 4th generation idols, Rei and Gaeul are already well-known for being extremely slender? I wouldn’t have thought that they needed to be photo-shopped.
