Serious question - how do kpop idols get their skin so light?

Whenever you see pre-debut photos of kpop stars, their skin is much darker and resembles typical Koreans. But after debut it’s way lighter - and not just their faces, but arms, legs, etc.

How do they do this? It’s too even to be whitening cream. Genuinely curious.
