Still "up"

... hence that contentless spluttering re transphobia. My brain keeps churning out wordplay ("Pyongyang's limited intercontinental ballistic missile arsenal faces"* shouldn't be a hilarious phrase, but it is) and weird connections between my current obsessions. An Egyptian priest accidentally tripped by pharaoh was given permission to record the incident, and more importantly the king's apology slash blessing, in his tomb; SHINee's Onew helped a fangirl shoved by the crowd back to her feet. I'll bet she'll be telling that story for the rest of her life, too.

* One of the symptoms of Kpop disease is a sudden concern with North Korea's behaviour (hell, I can even find the place on a map now) because South Korea has mandatory military service for all male citizens - even boy band members.**

The hues of K-pop hair are not limited by mere human genetics.

TOP's epicanthic fold is intact - it's just not very visible in that screencap. I don't think I've seen a Kpop idol yet who's had it snipped; as far as I can gather, Koreans (and Asians in general) don't attach much significance to the fold. Koreans seem to be more interested in whether you have double eyelids - that is, an extra crease above the eyes; folks will resort to everything from tape to surgery to achieve those. (Rather than bleaching, TOP is probably just wearing a ton of makeup!)

Well, I'm no expert - damn if I can tell a double eyelid from a single one! It's possible some of the idols have had little epicanthic reductions done, or what-have-you. (Ugh, I hope not.)
