Inside the warped world of Shashaeile: South Korean influencer addicted to Photoshop runs a successful fashion brand and claims to be a private investigator – but is she even human?
They say she can bend time and space.
And South Korean influencer Shashaeile made headlines this week when her bizarre Instagram page came to light.
Shashaeile has nearly 800,000 followers on Instagram, where she promotes her self-titled fashion brand and shares Photoshopped selfies from her glamorous life.
But rather than anything desirable, her beauty is truly otherworldly, like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Her limbs are disproportionately long and spidery, seeming to stretch for ages against warped backgrounds until they end at her giant hands, which resemble prehistoric claws.

Her disproportionate physique is much larger than her impossibly small head, which appears to be the work of Photoshop or some sort of AI filter

Her eerily childish face rarely shows any expression and often stares blankly into the camera lens, sometimes with her mouth slightly open.
Her chin has a sharp V-line, a popular plastic surgery trend in South Korea, while her lips are plump and her eyes are big like white china teacups filled with black coffee.
She has gigantic breasts, like those found in Japanese hentai videos, held up only by her broad, linebacker shoulders.
The centerpiece of Shashaeile’s deformed physique is her tiny waist, which could put a corseted Dita Von Teese to shame.

Because of her distorted images, Shashaeile’s photos have been ridiculed online, with hundreds of people flooding her page to leave sarcastic comments about her appearance on almost every post.
“She’s so natural and real, I love her!!!” mocked a follower.
“I really want to see what she looks like without the filters and edits,” said another.
Many fans pointed out that many of the model’s photos and videos have a distorted background – a sign that they have been heavily edited.
“She herself is the mother universe, the way she distorts time and space around her,” one joked.
“Look at her bending reality, such a queen,” gushed another.
While some fans claim that Shashaeile can bend time and space, the distorted backgrounds in her photos are likely due to Photoshop apps and edits.

Her looks are so ridiculous that many of her followers wonder if she is human at all, or just the creation of AI technology.
Adding to the confusion is the fact that she claims to be a private investigator on one of her two Instagram accounts, despite her main job being a fashion influencer at a thriving online boutique.
While she certainly looks virtual, there are many signs that Shashaeile is indeed a real person.
Most AI models on the internet have perfect physical proportions and often pose in front of generic, static backdrops.
Her looks are so ridiculous that many of her followers wonder if she is human at all, or just the creation of AI technology.
While she certainly looks virtual, there are many signs that Shashaeile is a real person, such as the variety of realistic locations on her Instagram page.
It’s likely that Shashaeile is a real human being, but she used some kind of AI face-changing app to change her face before further editing her body with an app like FaceTune
Shashaeile’s photos, on the other hand, show all the characteristics of a human being edited, filtered, stretched and distorted beyond recognition using various apps.
She also regularly shares short videos on her Instagram Stories, showing all very normal activities.
Though she carefully hides her face in almost every video, you can see her walking to venues from behind, dining out at fancy restaurants, and clinking champagne glasses with mysterious companions.
Some of the videos shared on her page show her in her entirety, but the backgrounds are still distorted and wobbly, indicating that they have been heavily manipulated to change her outer form.
It’s likely that Shashaeile, whoever she is, is a real person who used an AI filter to completely alter her appearance and shrink her head, and then edited her images even further from there.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Shashaeile for comment.

South Korea is known for having some of the strictest beauty standards in the world and is revered for its advanced plastic surgery procedures and skin care.
Some of the most common physical features considered beautiful in the country include a V-line jaw, pale skin, double eyelids, a thin high nose, and a small face.
A number of Korean celebrities are known for their small faces, including actress Kim Tae-hee, Shin Yuna of girl group Itzy, and actor Cha Eun-woo.
According to statistics, nearly 25% of women between the ages of 19 and 29 in South Korea have undergone plastic surgery.
The country’s unrealistic beauty standards have since drawn backlash, especially from feminist groups.

Last year, a popular reality series about cosmetic surgery was shut down after growing criticism from the public.
The show, titled Let Me In, saw people come in and advocate for a plastic surgery makeover so they could improve their lives.
In 2022, a Korean woman named Cherri Lee spent $60,000 on plastic surgery to look like Kim Kardashian.
“Actually, I look like a completely different person now than before,” she told the South West News Service.
“I look Western, and some members of my Korean family don’t even recognize me anymore!”
