Han Yeong transforms with AI profile, humorously notes 'it's all retouched'

Broadcaster Han Yeong drew attention by revealing new profile photos that present an atmosphere quite different from her actual appearance. In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) image generation and photo retouching have become commonplace, she displayed a playful attitude toward her digital transformation.

On the 25th, Han Yeong posted several photos on her SNS with a short caption reading, "New profile."

In the photos, Han Yeong wears a white sleeveless dress and gazes at the camera while holding a bouquet of pink roses. The images emphasize a much softer, more feminine atmosphere than her previous looks, with facial lines and features that offer a different impression from her usual appearance.

Interest surged as the photos appeared to be generated using AI technology or underwent significant digital retouching. As if aware of this, Han Yeong lightheartedly accepted the results, adding the hashtag, "Since we take photos and do a lot of retouching anyway."

Recently, profiles and pictorial images utilizing AI have been appearing frequently in the entertainment industry. Moving beyond the traditional method of retouching photos from actual shoots, there is a growing trend of using digital technology to reconstruct a person's facial expressions, hairstyles, outfits, and backgrounds. Han Yeong's recent photos are viewed as an image variation utilizing these technical characteristics rather than a change in her actual appearance.

Born in 1978, Han Yeong debuted in the entertainment industry as a member of the group L.P.G. and has since expanded her career as both a singer and a broadcaster. In 2022, she drew significant attention when she married trot singer Park Goon, who is eight years younger than her.

Having steadily shared her life through broadcasts and SNS since her marriage, Han Yeong has now expressed herself through a new image utilizing AI and retouching rather than reproducing her real-life appearance exactly.
