His clothes were also “whitewashed”.
Koreaboo
TWICE‘S Nayeon has faced major cover-ups in recent content.
Nayeon’s recent video for CODE presented the idol he tried to guess BTOB‘S Eunkwang.
After the video was posted, Eunkwang joined Nayeon on TWICE’s TikTok page to take on the “Strategy” challenge.
After watching the two, one netizen noticed that Nayeon was whitewashed in the OG video as she looked much lighter than in TikTok, even saying how obvious it was due to the difference in her outfit between the two videos.
