A tweet posted on July 8, 2026, labeled BTS as the ugliest boyband ever using unedited clips and drew immediate criticism from some netizens along with strong defenses from others.
The post shared Getty Images footage of the group members barefaced and captioned it “Literally the ugliest boyband ever.” Multiple replies called the members “chopped,” “ugly,” and accused fans of overhyping them.
Defenders countered that the images simply showed natural human faces without makeup or plastic surgery. They argued critics had grown accustomed to heavily altered idol visuals.
The exchange remained confined to social media reactions with no statements from BTS or their agency reported.
No further developments emerged by the article’s July 10 publication date.
