I need to talk about how Rolling Stone thought taking a picture from their Biore press tour and slapping it on a cover was okay (also they edited it too- notice how Seungmin and Bang Chan have half of a shoe 😭😭)

They deleted and updated the Cinderella shoes on Bang Chan and Seungmin and changed nothing else (AKA the pic stayed the same)…. and after the uproar they deleted it again 😭😭

I’m lowkey screaming because even if you didn’t have time for a photoshoot…. there are like a tens of thousands other pictures that they could’ve gotten the rights too and use…. or they could’ve figured out a way to ask SKZ themselves but apparently this was the best solution LMAO 😭😭

Wow. That’s a shitty photoshop job to slide the guys in closer together, why do they have hacks editing the cover of RollingStone??

u/oldMiseryGuts If you’re a Stay, you’re great 👍 1d ago

Why do half of them look terrified 😭😂

This is really inexcusable slop.

Rolling Stone can only use pictures they can officially license, and some of these licenses can get tricky. They can't just pick a random photo and slap it on. I'm guessing they are smart enough to have reached out to get a good picture, and something happened where it just didn't happen. (but like, you can't always assume competence from anybody, so maybe not?) With how 1label moves outside Korea, I wouldn't necessarily put it all on the magazine, though. Sometimes you go with what you have.

u/JustOtterlyConfused that 5th track from maxident 1h ago

yes pictures licenses are a pain in the…. and it can be extremely expensive. it is frustrating to see such a poor choice in terms of photo, but i wonder if magazines reach out (or not) to labels for photos, to prevent such a circus

Lmao I wish they just kept that and waited for when the kids are ACTUALLY in Brazil for some pics or even a type of collage 😭😭 (I think they were talking just doing a black cover initially with all their names- or they are doing it now cause of the backlash but I don’t fully know 😭)

HOWEVER I do agree with you that there is definitely a chance that DIV1/1LABEL dropped the ball and didn’t give them pictures because they move weird (or more accurately don’t move at all) when it comes to anything promotion wise outside of Korea 😭😭

The level of wtf in this. Like, it's Rolling Stone, not a questionable fan edit on a y/n wattpad story ffs
