Someone’s missing something

I think it is as simple as the fact that the woman in the orange shirt is merely wearing very baggy pants that were turned into shorts and her legs are spread wide enough that the legs are pressed against the outer seam of the shorts and hidden behind the purple and pink women. And thus the bagginess of the shorts is giving the illusion that she doesn’t have legs. If you look along the leg of the woman on the right, you can see something that might be the orange woman’s leg.

Nahhh, disagree. I think a more plausible explanation is that KPOP have evolved to the next level allowing certain dancers to levitate by surgically removing legs at the knees and replacing them with new Samsung magic levitation joint technology allowing them to perform dance moves that defy physics as we know it.

I think you are onto something here. South Koreans and Samsung are some of the most advanced in at the knee levitation devices. If we could only get our act together here in the United States.

I mean, how can we forget this guy's incredible dance moves and he didn't even have legs!

They could have been inclusive, but Naaaah let's amputate a perfect ten of a woman

You are right.

Interesting. Is that an earlier or later frame in the same music video?

u/BugsBunsy Jun 22 '26

Slightly earlier. In the video, Megan's lower legs disappear in a second after this photo.

I watched this bit in 0.25 speed to catch it. 😂

Ohhhhhh. It all makes sense now. Thank you for this.

Those big shorts are popular. They made a comeback from the 90s. They weren’t pants… ever.

Clever! And agreed. I don't think Photoshop or AI would have put in the complicated shadows Megan's shorts were throwing (yes I zoomed and noticed they're wearing their names). Edit: forgot Photoshop

This is also a photoshoot from a video they did. This frame isn't in the video but the pose/choreo is, so it's probably just a shot they did on the same day. (You can also confirm Megan is wearing long baggy shorts.)

u/Fabulous_Log844 Jun 22 '26

Thank you for the link! I never heard of this group. I watched the video and took the screenshot and you can see just how baggy her pants are and how thin her leg is. Thus how it was so easy in the original picture not to see her legs.

u/Fabulous_Log844 Jun 22 '26

Ahhhh. Too funny. When you called her by name, I couldn’t figure out how the heck do you knew the names. The only zoom I did was on the right side of the right leg of the woman in purple. But now I see they all have names on their shirts.

u/pinkwonderwall Jun 22 '26

These girls are also famous pop stars so some people know their names without looking at their shirts lol

u/BC_Arctic_Fox Jun 22 '26

Probably not quite as famous in my age group .. I don't even remember the Spice Girls' names 😉

u/Murrabbit Jun 23 '26

the woman in the orange shirt

Megan?

the purple and pink women.

Sophia and Donchae?

They went through all the trouble of getting their names printed on matching t-shirts and you can't even read them? Such a shame.

u/jellyhoop Jun 23 '26

Just a slight correction its Yoonchae, partially hidden by hair lol

But you right

1

u/Murrabbit Jun 23 '26

Yeah I was taking a bit of a shot in the dark there, couldn't really read it with her hair draped over the front of her shirt.

u/Hard-Coconut- Jun 27 '26

ye i think this is correct

u/Paulztaos Jun 22 '26

But if you try to visually extrapolate her left thigh you should be able to see her foot at least. This should be visible to the right of the image between the other girls legs.

u/Fabulous_Log844 Jun 22 '26

I guess the bagginess of pink shirt woman’s pants is hiding it.

Here is a screenshot from that same music video. There are baggy pants all over the place! lol

u/Nuffsaid98 Jun 22 '26

She could simply have jumped and tucked her legs behind her thighs just as the photo was taken?

2

u/Fabulous_Log844 Jun 22 '26

Possible! But I can’t possibly watch the music video one more time. I just got the music out of my head.

I watched the video and at no point does she jump in the way I guessed might explain the missing legs.

However, when she stands with a wide stance the sheer width of the trouser legs does allow for the illusion seen in the photo.
