A photo that has been forwarded through group chats and re-saved dozens of times: a family gathered around a table of Korean holiday food, now degraded by repeated JPEG compression — blocky square artefacts in every smooth area, colour banding across the wall, ringing halos along edges, an oversaturated yellow-orange cast, crunched contrast, and a resolution so low that faces are only soft shapes. A thin black strip along one side from a sloppy crop. Normal natural anatomy. Genuinely degraded, not a stylised filter. No text, no letters, no interface elements.
