BTS Jimin’s arrival at Dior’s Men’s Spring/Summer 2027 show on June 24 turned into one of the biggest Paris Fashion Week 2026 moments. With his blond hair, bold look, and elegant long velvet coat, fans called him the “Dior Prince” and the “Global IT Boy.” Reports said his appearance drew more than 1 million mentions within 12 hours.
But the conversation shifted just once; unedited Getty Images photos from the event started spreading online. Netizens compared those press shots with the photos Jimin later posted himself on June 25, pointing to a lighter tone, softer finish, and smoother overall look in his personal uploads. That kicked off a fresh round of criticism on X, Reddit, and Korean online communities. Some accused him of editing the images to change how his skin looked. Others said the unedited Getty photos made him look much harsher than the photos he chose to share.

Some fans argued that photo editing is normal for celebrities, and they blamed haters for editing and sharing the worst angles on purpose to cause drama. Posts defending BTS Jimin called the backlash malicious, especially since the attacks focused so much on his unedited look.
