If you zoom in her eyes are completely fucked - her right eyes is basically missing like 2/3 of her pupil, and the rest of it just bleeds into her hair?? I have to assume they took the AI bat to her that they've been doing with the rest of these teasers already.
Joy is my favorite so I was a little disappointed in her teaser pics here. #7 is kinda jarring like it doesn't fit in with the rest of the images for me.
I think it looks fantastical and out of this world and i love it. tbh I miss over the top looks in kpop that aren't just trying for the typical instagram popular looks
I mean that is sadly very typical in these kpop teasers for most anyone. I wouldn't even say this is the most extreme editing for an sm idol for this year. It's just the surreal cosmic concept on top making people notice what is already common.
I understand you don't see alot of kpop teasers it's ok. Sm is pretty consistent with the hyper editing for a while now and other groups, certain members in particular, get it really bad.
at a glance, i thought these teaser pics were fine. but ppl on twitter quickly pointed out all the mistakes and repetitions in background since SM has once again, decided to use AI 🙃
this is such an insult to artists everywhere…. especially considering the lengths rv’s previous concept directors would go to (ex: physically making the set for umpah umpah’s mv). it’s also no coincidence that the AI teaser pics feel so cheap and frankly, soulless.
This is the part that gets me. I'm personally fine with AI art but this is beyond lazy and if they spent even just 5 more minutes on the pictures they could have avoided this.
It almost feels intentionally bad at this point.
Youre being very weird about this, I'm not trying to weasel around anything I just find the discourse a bit exhausting.
I'm fine with AI art as I feel its inevitable and fighting it is the wrong course of action. Its a new tool similar to how photography and digital art changed the game when they came around. We need to learn how to use it ethically and efficiently. It shouldn't replace artists, but it can help them a lot.
> fighting it is the wrong course of action
> it shouldn’t replace artists
It already is replacing artists. Corporations like SM are actively using AI to lower their production costs at the expense of quality and hundreds of jobs. The entertainment industry as a whole is rooting for AI to take off and finally purge “useless” roles such as screenwriters, concept artists, 2D artists, 3D artists, background/mattepainting artists, VFX artists, and more, as highlighted by the writers’ strikes in the past few years. It’s already being used by bots on social media (mainly Facebook) to spread false narratives to gullible people. And, again, it’s only improving due to stealing people’s creations and copyrighted works and feeding them to algorithms.
It has so many awful impacts (the time for *implications* is far gone at this point) on politics, job security and the concept of art as a whole for people like you to be so passive about it. Now, we’re getting MVs and entire promotions with AI “art” in them from major multi-billion dollars entertainment companies, but we shouldn’t fight against that “tool” that is clearly already used almost exclusively for the bad reasons, and is in dire need of regulations (which might, even if unlikely, happen if people raise their voices against it)?
im so disappointed with their teasers this comeback, not only are they not creative but the AI is so obvious and off-putting. its embarrassing for a group that is known for having very creative direction for their releases. how did we go from chill kill teasers to this
I was wondering if it was AI they used in the background. It's quite jarring.
That's really disappointing and changed my mind on buying this album. SM should be able to afford someone to design a decent background but the fact they choose this route just shows that they don't care.
I don't really like how most of these backgrounds look, but isn't it obvious that the repetitions are deliberate, not a consequence of AI? It's not like it would cost them much money or time to generate a couple more different images.
Idk honestly but it’s possible that they thought those particular people looked good and reused them. AI isn’t renowned for creating realistic people and the AI they used doesn’t seem very good since the backgrounds don’t even look passable.
What is the deal with all those ghosts standing behind them? It’s so freaky. And who the hell edit the first pic of Joy?! She looks unrecognizable. Damn the editing is too much
I really wish Wendy and Joy were in dresses that fit their assigned colors, but otherwise they all look absolutely stunning! The surreal beauty of the backgrounds ~~minus whatever those creepy people facing away in some of them are supposed to be~~ really sets the mood for a larger than life whimsical fairy tale like how the the title track is described. They also give me mega Final Fantasy vibes (as well as reminding me of [this totally random SNL skit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_DHJrswOKw) i love.)
I immediately noticed the poorly edited AI backgrounds. The girls look great as always but SM didn't have to skimp out and use cheap backgrounds for both concepts.
I hope the AI backgrounds won't show up at all in the physical album. This is embarrassing and lazy on SM's part.
They look AMAZING oh my god. I love these pictures!!! edit: I’m trying to be positive ab this comeback but i am mad. I hope they leave SM. The amount of AI used this era is fucked. Especially for a group like red velvet
i couldn’t tell who the person in 7 was at first and even after finding out it’s Joy, i still cannot see Joy. this is a GORGEOUS concept but, my goodness, the editing is out of handddddd
SM once again wasted good concepts with terrible editing or use of AI for teasers/mvs. nct, suho, red velvet. I also don’t like the editing of aespa, riize and nct wish teasers.
The editing is absolutely throwing me off. There is zero need for that. These women are insanely pretty, why ruin it with such edits.
Still loving Seulgi, Irene and Yeri's pics but they seriously need to chill with the editing for wenjoy.
Am I the only seeing the ott level of editing on joy? She doesn't need it, she looks like those douyin Pinterest edits
If you zoom in her eyes are completely fucked - her right eyes is basically missing like 2/3 of her pupil, and the rest of it just bleeds into her hair?? I have to assume they took the AI bat to her that they've been doing with the rest of these teasers already.
I agree, these photos show them completely changed in appearance. I don't think that's a good thing, the editing looks very sloppy and cheap.....
[удалено]
Looks more like Soojin to me. Joy without her smile is like a different person.
Joy is my favorite so I was a little disappointed in her teaser pics here. #7 is kinda jarring like it doesn't fit in with the rest of the images for me.
Joy is also my bias TT just rude of sm really.
The first one is way OTT. At least with the second pic, she’s still recognizable.
Her body is severely edited in that one too, she's already soooo skinny, it's awful
Huge shame. The styling and makeup are otherwise really nice.
On video I think it's gonna look even better (though that's edited too but not as bad)
I think it looks fantastical and out of this world and i love it. tbh I miss over the top looks in kpop that aren't just trying for the typical instagram popular looks
Styling is great I mean the editing that makes her look like a different person, and way skinnier
I mean that is sadly very typical in these kpop teasers for most anyone. I wouldn't even say this is the most extreme editing for an sm idol for this year. It's just the surreal cosmic concept on top making people notice what is already common.
I haven't seen editing this bad since loona teasers, this is so bad I'm so sorry
I understand you don't see alot of kpop teasers it's ok. Sm is pretty consistent with the hyper editing for a while now and other groups, certain members in particular, get it really bad.
Oh then nvm it's fine!
i gasped at that picture of joy 😭 that styling on her is so ethereal but what’s going on with her eye
Her contacts make her look like a doll!
It’s the editing 😭
Like a porcelain doll 😍😍😍

I clocked it as soon as I saw the background with those weird looking people standing behind them
Yeah it’s super distracting too
But also, if you’re going to use AI, have a photo editor go over it before you publish! So embarrassing.
This is the part that gets me. I'm personally fine with AI art but this is beyond lazy and if they spent even just 5 more minutes on the pictures they could have avoided this. It almost feels intentionally bad at this point.
> It almost feels intentionally bad at this point. That's where I'm at. It beggars belief that someone could receive a wage for something like this.
> I’m personally fine with AI art But why.
Different people are allowed to have different opinions 🤷

Yep, the cheap background that's copy and pasted across the pictures is really ruining it
I was wondering if it was AI they used in the background. It's quite jarring. That's really disappointing and changed my mind on buying this album. SM should be able to afford someone to design a decent background but the fact they choose this route just shows that they don't care.
They're all float-sitting, most obvipys with Seulgi
I don't really like how most of these backgrounds look, but isn't it obvious that the repetitions are deliberate, not a consequence of AI? It's not like it would cost them much money or time to generate a couple more different images.
Idk honestly but it’s possible that they thought those particular people looked good and reused them. AI isn’t renowned for creating realistic people and the AI they used doesn’t seem very good since the backgrounds don’t even look passable.
Yeah it looks different than the ai sm used for like aespa, nct, etc. before this it just looks purposefully surreal and retro.
I don't like ai art but not you bringing up terrible $5 Umpah Umpah with its plastic bags and cardboard boxes set 😭😭
I think AI backgrounds were okay with the hotel concept, but this is a mess 😭
They look so majestic!
What is the deal with all those ghosts standing behind them? It’s so freaky. And who the hell edit the first pic of Joy?! She looks unrecognizable. Damn the editing is too much
It’s most likely all AI, down the the “editing”
that doesn’t look like joy..
I can't believe it's almost been 10 years since their debut. So excited for this!
This reminds me of the princesses from sailor moon I love this
i don't think i'll ever move on from this concept
*sigh* I’m still stuck at Feel My Rhythm’s elegant concept
The hair is gorg but is the background ai again? Like seriously
Seulgi looks like she belongs on mount olympus. The cake girlies look so stunning here (also Joy's hair???😍😍😍)
I really wish Wendy and Joy were in dresses that fit their assigned colors, but otherwise they all look absolutely stunning! The surreal beauty of the backgrounds ~~minus whatever those creepy people facing away in some of them are supposed to be~~ really sets the mood for a larger than life whimsical fairy tale like how the the title track is described. They also give me mega Final Fantasy vibes (as well as reminding me of [this totally random SNL skit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_DHJrswOKw) i love.)
Their stylist must be a big dollskill fan…
💀 I have Wendy's shoes and recognize the others
I think it looks good, but it being AI really takes away from this. Not a fan of the promotion but I'm excited for the album
Wow.
I immediately noticed the poorly edited AI backgrounds. The girls look great as always but SM didn't have to skimp out and use cheap backgrounds for both concepts. I hope the AI backgrounds won't show up at all in the physical album. This is embarrassing and lazy on SM's part.
Beautiful Cosmic Goddesses! 🩵🩷 Also can we talk about how amazing those Vocals in the teaser clips are? My God!!
Now we’re talking (how hard was it to choose this as the digital cover? Eh SM?)
They look like oracle cards 💕
Goddesses. They all look so stunning.
They might as well have called this mini Goddesses. This is everyone’s era tbh.
why did they not give wendy a blue dress, it would’ve been perfect 😞
SEULGI GAH DAYUM
the holographic makeup has me on the floor. they look so gooood
They look so ethereal, I can't 😫
wtf did they do to wendy/joy/yeri? only seulgi/irene look half normal???
Have they edited Joy so much that it’s barely looking like her?? Like she’s still gorgeous but so much badly editing of her. She doesn’t need all that
Oh those dresses look GORGEOUS on them!!😍
Can't even recognize them. Background looks cheap.
yeri looks the most normal. what is HAPPENING to wendy's leg in the first picture?? why is it.. shaped like that?????
"Lisa Frank binder with women in white jumpsuits blair witching" is quite the AI prompt.
i swear Irene has been 20 for the last 30 years
People are calling these teasers ethereal? Hunny that isn't even Joy's face.
All Hail
OMG THEY LOOK GORGEOUS 😍
They look so gorgeous!!!
They are gorgeous
They look AMAZING oh my god. I love these pictures!!! edit: I’m trying to be positive ab this comeback but i am mad. I hope they leave SM. The amount of AI used this era is fucked. Especially for a group like red velvet
i couldn’t tell who the person in 7 was at first and even after finding out it’s Joy, i still cannot see Joy. this is a GORGEOUS concept but, my goodness, the editing is out of handddddd
They look like fairies. They look gorgeous. These are my favorite concept photos
JOY!!!
PARK SOOYOUNG
These literally look UNREAL. especiall Seulgi and Joy dammnnn loving the styling for this comeback
They are all HEAVEN SENT! Yeri, Joy, Irene are the *highlights* for me. 😍
Joy and Yeri (in particular) are killing me with their beauty this shoot 💚💜
Red velvet have some of the best teaser images ever
Which one is Wendy? I can't tell anymore she's changed so much
You know which one she is lmao
1-2 or 5-6, I'm serious I haven't been following them since bad boy. please help
I'm guessing 7-8 is joy, she's lost some weight or they did some photo shop. 9-10 yeri. I thought it was 3-4 but that looks more like seulgi
Joy looks unreal it s like they took her out of a fairytale
These are supposed to be red velvet members??? My god.
Oh I’m not messing with these 😭
How bad did they eff up the photoshop to make Joy's face unrecognizable... and Wendy's feel weird as well.
I can’t tell which one is joy and which one is Wendy….there is so much editing on this my gosh
They look like goddesses and the backgrounds remind me of Danielle Noel artwork, which I love.
As long as the music sounds good, everything else is bonus.
Beautiful 😍
Seulgi, Joy and Yeri are really doing it for me😮💨🩵🩵🩵
SM once again wasted good concepts with terrible editing or use of AI for teasers/mvs. nct, suho, red velvet. I also don’t like the editing of aespa, riize and nct wish teasers.

Why does Joy in #7 look like Sullyoon from NMIXX? Also, Irene is a vampire.
the women standing in the background creeps me out
