They definitely photoshopped h0pe's armpits cuz in the photoshoot he is clean shaven with no hair there but then I saw a video of behind the scenes and he very clearly did not shave his armpit hair so they actually edited out his hair as if its unusual for a full grown man to have hairy pitsThe issue I have with the car wash photos, at least from a commercial standpoint, is that they're guys. Not that men don't work at car washes cause they do, it's just that these sorts of photoshoots are 99% of the time exclusively of women. They're stupid and sexist photoshoots when they're of women. And having a bunch of men doing a squeaky-clean family friendly version of this concept doesn't do anything for women, it doesn't break boundaries or make me and other women feel "represented". It's just extremely dumb, unoriginal and boring.
Also, the photos of them with the hoses, and the fact that the water was so obviously photoshopped, was hilarious to me. Like, what's the point of a car wash photoshoot if they aren't going to at least get a little bit wet? Not to be inappropriate here, but let's be real, car wash photoshoots are never about washing cars.
I don't take issue with a man shaving his armpits or legs or anywhere else if he chooses to do that for no reason other than he wants to. But I highly doubt that JM, who was VERY masculine when they first debuted, suddenly in the last few years is okay with being this effeminate. I can't really explain why I think it's so obviously not his choice, it just is very obviously not his choice.
However since j!min is obvious the "girl" of the group I wouldnt be suprised if he is forced to keep his armpits shaved while the others get to keep theirs
If I was a man I wouldn't want fame and fortune if the price was my manhood
