The #KPop pic of the day is random, but I am v happy to take requests!

First pic is my big hitters, where i keep sub-folders per member. Anything from the second pic would be more of a gamble 🤷🏻 (mixed groups folder is mostly crossovers).

@frecklebomb a random SVT pic please? (is this how this activity works?)
@yesterdaychild
This is exactly how it works! Have a blurry concert jeonghao 💛
@frecklebomb cuties *whispers* never change
@yesterdaychild
I have uh, over a thousand svt pics, so pls feel free to ask again in future 😅
@frecklebomb  whaddaya know, we are in the future  may i have another, please? 
@yesterdaychild
I have no memory of downloading this, but please enjoy it

@frecklebomb I chuckled xD oh, 96z, never change~~

my carat friend told me today that 96z are all cats
wonwoo is a grey cat
hoshi is a tiger/hamster (?? not a cat but ok)
woozi a white cat
and jun an orange cat xD

@yesterdaychild
This is fanart i have seen and appreciated 😂
@frecklebomb ahha!!! 🐱🐈‍⬛️🐈🐾
@yesterdaychild @frecklebomb as a brand new carat (last month I finally successfully ID'd all of them, including the elusive Mingyu whose face simply doesn't register in my brain) this convo is a joy!
@hobiis @yesterdaychild Congrats and welcome! The last to click for me was Dino, who is now one of my faves :D
@frecklebomb @hobiis lee chan will take over the world!!!!
@yesterdaychild
@hobiis
The future of kpop!
@frecklebomb @hobiis GAH! how scawwy!
@yesterdaychild @frecklebomb ok I have a confession... It took me weeks to realise Dino and Chan were the same person 
@hobiis @yesterdaychild I feel like this is a built-in hazard for a fandom where half the idols have stage names, real names AND a host of nicknames too (AND svt go above and beyond with all the characters they do too)
@frecklebomb @hobiis i didn't even know svt had other characters! 
@yesterdaychild
@hobiis
If you watch more than a couple of episodes of GoSe (or a yt compilation) they just love their recurring improv characters. DK and Hoshi's bickering married couple, Dino's ahjussi who swears constantly...
@hobiis @yesterdaychild @frecklebomb the satisfying feeling of finally getting all their names!!! (or the doom that your head is full of another 13 whole kpop boys 🫠 lmao)
@pastelsinmysky @yesterdaychild @frecklebomb YES!!! omg I gotta share with you how bad the Mingyu brain really was when I first started trying to learn them in May... (no alt text, sorry)
@hobiis @pastelsinmysky @yesterdaychild Oh no 😂 This was Extremely me w Tae when I first entered bts fandom though, so I realy feel that
@frecklebomb @hobiis @yesterdaychild lmao also me with tae (and jk honestly)😅 for seventeen josh was one of the last ones to click and i constantly forgot dino existed 🙈

@pastelsinmysky @frecklebomb @hobiis it was weird for me, i had a much harder time with bts and learning their faces. the only thing that kept me going was remembering that ages ago i learnt 13 faces in super junior!

but yeah... jk, tae, jin - it was hard to keep them straight. from certain angles yoongi looks like jk too.

but when it got to svt - i learnt all their names in like 3 days. they're really all handsome but in different ways!

my mingyu trick is just to look for the tollest one 😄

@hobiis @yesterdaychild @frecklebomb The secret to mingyu for me was "Tall one with ~that face~" (by which I meant, so stereotypically good looking my brain couldn't absorb any unique features to identify)
@frecklebomb I think we need a hashtag or something for this...cause I want to play along too...I have...an excessive amount of old kpop pics stashed that need an excuse to see the light of day...
@Erzbet Oh a hashtag is a GREAT idea! I'd happily monitor a kpop request tag, but idk if it would need to be group specific? Hmmm
@frecklebomb maybe a general tag for kpop pics... and then we can add the relevant group info as separate tags to each post
@Erzbet Oh perfect - something like #KpopPicRequest ? We could use to advertise services (heh) or people could use to request them

@frecklebomb I like it...and I think the requests don't just need to be for a specific group or member...it could be requests for a theme like pics of idols with puppies ...and then we just throw whatever we've got at them..lol

(I may or may not have a whole folder of idols with puppies...lol)

@Erzbet A whole folder for puppy pics! THIS is the kind of out of the box thinking we need in a fandom :D

How about the two of us make some requests using the tag every couple of days, and help each other respond to them, to get the ball rolling? Girl groups, puppies, OT3s, etc

@frecklebomb sounds like a plan. I'll put together a quick post too since the instance I'm on is all kpop fans...that should help get the word out too
