Fans of the SEVENTEEN who are called the Carats are accusing a South Korean magazine of photoshopping the photo of Lee Chan, 21, who is professionally known as Dino. For the fans, this is unprofessional and disrespectful to one of the members of the K-pop boy band.
On April 6, 2020, Carats were not happy to see the photo released by Billboard Korea for its Volume 3 featuring SEVENTEEN members including Dino. They were disappointed to see that he was barely recognizable because of too much editing.
Apparently, Dino’s face looks slimmer in the photo and his eyes and nose were reshaped. The editor of the magazine has yet to respond to the Carats’ clamor.
Pledis Entertainment formed SEVENTEEN in 2015. The group has 13 members who are divided into three sub-units.
Dino belongs to the performance unit. He is will Jun, 23, The8, 22, and their unit leader Hoshi, 23, whose respective real names are Wen Junhui, Xu Ming Hao and Kwon Soon Young.
