Kpop

COVID-19 has caused SEOULSPACE to work from home and in order to combat the boredom of being locked down, we decided to download the once-popular app called FaceApp. It is a photo editing app that allows you to change the look of a person in terms of age, hair color, facial hair, and even gender. We decided to see how the members of BTS would look if they were born a woman. The results are pretty amazing. Turning BTS into women was easier than ever thanks to FaceApp. In addition, we took the time to poll the staff to see which female BTS member was the best looking. Therefore, the results are ranked from the hottest to the least hot. Do you agree? If you have recommendations for other Kpop boy groups, make your suggestions in the comments section.
