A new photo of former Girls' Revolution singers Tiffany Taeyeon and Suzy Sooyoung has rocked the K-Pop industry at its core, but it's not for the reason that you may think.
While fans were shocked to see the two frenemies spending time together again after their in-fighting originally caused Girls' Revolution to split, the photo is gaining the most attention for Suzy's curious 'eyes closed' pose, which has confused netizens throughout Korea.
"Why would she close her eyes in such a pretty photo?" netizens commented. "I don't understand this at all. She can't have had the sun in her eyes because Tiffany is posing properly, so it makes no sense for her to close her eyes in this manner." "Was Suzy sleepy? Her agency works her too hard."
News of the controversial photo has reportedly spread into the North, after insurgents were spotted smuggling several printed copies of the picture over the heavily-armed border.
Jamie Metzl, Executive Vice President of the Asia Society, tells AKF that the image will most likely be used as an anti-propaganda tool to battle North Korea's violent dictatorship.
"An image like this will serve as a vital tool in the fight for freedom in North Korea," says Metzl. "It shows North Korean citizens that it's OK to go against the norm and be individual, despite what your society or government may tell you. Even though Suzy's closed eyes may have been a simple mistake, the act in itself will look defiant when seen by North Korean citizens, and it may inspire them to start questioning the leadership in their country."
