my kpop conspiracy theory that will leave this forum in shambles

ladies and disappointments, I bring you today an intriguing conspiracy theory that will surely make you rethink everything you know about kpop. im still new to this site so i may make some errors here possibly. while we all know kpop has got secrets, such as whether jimin and jeongyeon are enemies, or whether naevis loves aespa back, this one is different. let me explain.

have you ever wondered why a lot of kpop idols look similar? and no they don't look ALL the same. im talking hyunjin and yeji (I have a separate theory on them), taeyong and jaejoong, sullyoon and tzuyu. you name it. notice how each pair are in the same company. this got me thinking hard.

here's the explanation I came up with:

so when young people or kids get recruited by companies, they purposefully seek out ones who look similar to the idols they already have. or if they dont already look similar to anyone, they force them to get plastic surgery to look like that idol. for example, if this is true that means after sullyoon left woolim and sm ent, she was scouted by jyp ent not only for her talent, but because of her resemblance to tzuyu.

why exactly would companies do that though? this is harder to answer, to be honest. I think it may be since they want that idol's particular visual and vibe to keep going. and since that idol may not wanna stay in the company forever, they will debut someone younger with a similar look and vibe as them to stay in for longer. that is just my thoughts.

be sure to take this with a grain of salt bc I am in no way assuming this is the truth lol.

but hey! that's just a theory, a KPOP THEORY! have a nice day

easier theory : even if they dont look alike, they eventually end up looking the same because of surgery and makeup

im by no means claiming most kpop idols are ugly but purely facial feature-wise most of them are very average looking without the makeup, even after surgeries

I haven't heard anybody say anything like that before. it could be possible that makeup artists choose makeup specifcally for new idols to make them look more similar to their seniors. surgery as well.

i know

im truly a genius

but yeah jokes aside, of course styling on idols is very specific and they probably use very similar makeup on different groups when doing a particular "concept"

besides, you might have noticed how different tzuyu looks now because of change in makeup style compared to 2016-17 twice

my mom is always confused when i show her my fave idols sometimes cause the constant hair and makeup change makes them look like different people to those who are not familiar with their featuress

same with my mom. she's a 1st and 2nd gen stan and she doesnt understand how idols today can manipulate their looks so easily. i mean makeup did exist back when she rlly liked kpop but not in the way it's used today

yep

humans arent getting more attractive, we're just getting better at "fake it till you make it"

same thing with singing. you can just lipsync, which isnt always bad btw. but i think that's why kpop is so dance focused because there is no way you're able to fake dancing, at least not yet.
