While it’s common for K-Pop idols’ photos to be edited, some professionals go too far.
4th Gen leading ladies (G)I-DLE‘s Soyeon, aespa‘s Winter, and IVE‘s Liz teamed up for the collaboration song, “Nobody.”
While fans were excited about these three power vocalists on a track together, some were disappointed that it appeared the idols never actually worked together in person.

Based on the music videos’ editing, they weren’t together. For instance, we see each woman on the same set but never together until the very last shot, which is non-moving.
why did they have to edit them together like you couldnt get all three of them in the same room for one second?? the mv is so awkward cus theyre all separate…. like the song is flames but you couldnt get liz winter and soyeon in the same room together for a minute….

I’m kinda mad Soyeon/Liz/Winter don’t have any scenes together like… I know it’s probably because of their mismatching schedules but what’s the point of collabing at this point

This still from the MV is also being used as a promotional image. Yet, eagle-eyed netizens noticed poor editing of the shot, further proving the idols were never together.

They thought each idol’s face looked unusual, particularly Soyeon’s eyes. It also looked as if Liz and Soyeon were just automatically selected from their respective original photos and placed onto the image of Winter.

Is it a Photoshop fail…or PicsArt?
