Netizens couldn’t seem to get over how heavily retouched the pics were. Her face was overly airbrushed, making her skin look too white, and her smile too stiff and unnatural.

Some fans even commented that her features were "flattened" by the editing and her eyes were "brightened' so much, the whites could not be seen.

Even Taiwan director Chiu Li-Kwan, who was photographed with Ella, was not spared the Photoshop treatment.

“Is this for real?" asked one netizen, while another said that "[Ella] is already so beautiful, there’s no need to edit the photos."

A fan commented that she thought Ella was a new influencer. 

After all that internet noise, the pics were pulled and replaced with a less heavily edited set.
