The photo of Kim and Lee in the printed advertisement for a Chinese clothing brand ignited the online war, a Hong Kong news outlet reported. In the poster, the two appeared to be of similar height and “facial size.”

The fans of Lee posted disturbed comments over the fact that Kim, officially known to be 180 centimeters tall, appears as tall as Lee, known to be 186 centimeters. They argued that the company must have enlarged Kim‘s height.

Furious Kim fans struck back, claiming that the Lee’s facial size looks smaller than the actual size. They argued that the company must have reduced Lee’s facial size to match Kim‘s extremely small facial size. 

Kim and Lee jumped to stardom throughout Asia with their hit dramas, “My Love from the Star” and “The Heirs,“ respectively.
