So there is a specific Korean actor that stars in a number of movies and TV shows in my library that has a corrupted image used in the Cast & Crew section of these pages. I’ve tried refreshing metadata multiple times thinking it was maybe corrupted during the initial metadata fetch, but the corrupt image never gets fixed. I’ve subsequently confirmed it’s not a local issue because the image is corrupted at the source here:

As you can see from that link the bottom 1/5 or so of the image is corrupted and pixelated. Interestingly enough if I click on their image to bring up their individual page to see any other media they are in and their filmography it uses a different image which doesn’t show any corruption:

Not sure what happened but it’s the only image I’ve seen so far that is corrupted like that.
