There is little doubt that Dino is a good-looking and talented young man. The maknae of SEVENTEEN is known for showing off his charm during live performances and dazzling appeal on stage. However, it looks like the creative team behind Billboard Korea felt that Lee Chan needed some changes in one particular photo from the magazine's upcoming issue. Not surprisingly, SVT fans are freaking out over the obviously photoshopped image of Dino and are demanding for the publication to apologize for the unnecessary changes they made on the idol.
It has already been confirmed that SEVENTEEN will be featured in Billboard Korea Vol. 3. In addition to several photos of the boy group, the issue is expected to feature individual interviews with each member as well as cover their rise to fame from debut to present. However, it is important to note that the magazine will only feature Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino. This is because S.Coups was still in hiatus when the interviews and photoshoots were conducted.
Not surprisingly, Carats were excited about SEVENTEEN being featured on the cover of Billboard Korea Vol. 3. Fans eagerly waited for an announcement of the publication's release since it would also unveil the cover of the new issue as well as other photos that can be found in the magazine. It didn't take long before the publication shared the official images from the upcoming issue and Carats immediately jumped to pre-order the new magazine. However, people were surprised when Billboard Korea shared a picture of the SVT Performance Unit.
At first glance, the Performance Unit, which includes Hoshi, Jun, The8 and Dino, looks great in the photo since they are dressed in bright colors and are standing in front of a lilac background. However, closer inspection reveals that Dino's strong jawline has been altered so much that he is barely recognizable. Needless to say, Carats were enraged that Lee Chan's face was Photoshopped in a way that he barely even looked like himself anymore. This led to several fans demanding that Billboard Korea should apologize to the SEVENTEEN maknae for the unnecessary changes.
This isn't the first time that Carats have gone up against Billboard Korea. Several fans have previously admitted that they received private messages from the publication asking them to take down leaked photos they have shared on social media. The incident even led to Carats joking about going to jail for posting leaked photos of SEVENTEEN across the internet.
Billboard Korea Vol. 3 will be released on April 20.
