Memes have been tickling our funny bones on the internet for ages, spreading like wildfire and offering us a good chuckle. Often, they feature faces that, while familiar in context, might not be recognized by everyone who shares the laughter. K-pop is no exception, with several idols unwittingly finding fame in the world of memes, tickling the ribs of both fans and those unfamiliar with their musical backgrounds. So let's shine a spotlight on these viral sensations - Here are some idols who are forever immortalized as memes.

SHINee Key

This completely transcended K-Pop as a meme. This is such a common meme, but not only non-fans, but even fans didn't even know that this was THE Key from SHINee. I guess we were all... clowned. 

MONSTA X Hyungwon

The fact that his meme has been used in so many non-K-Pop-related contexts is so funny. 

Red Velvet Yeri

Yes, another relatable one that has been used in a non-K-Pop context. 

Eric Nam 

Eric being genuinely confused that a dog speaks Chines will forever be iconic. I mean, technically, a dog speaking English is also surprising because what do you mean we don't just bark at our dogs?

P1Harmony Keeho & Theo

While watching their performance on the computer, this reaction has now become a popular “me and the Ghost in my room” meme. 

Stray Kids Changbin

When your dad joke becomes a hit, it becomes somewhat of a meme. Changbin also unintentionally helped promote the already famous song. 

GOT7 Jackson Wang

 The best and most accurate way of greeting someone in Korean is certainly this one.

BTOB Eunkwang

Well, sometimes, someone telling me to give up is all I needed to hear. Him mixing up is the funniest thing ever!

TXT Soobin

Soobin was just vibing to the song, but his "bye guys hi ladies" was just too cute and funny.

BLACKPINK Lisa

Have you seen the 'legs' meme trend going around? It's when you put a different photo next to Lisa's legs photo and have them perfectly match. If you ever wonder whose legs they were, today is the day you find out that they're Lisa's. 

2PM Taecyeon

Unfortunately, someone decided to use Taecyeon's yearbook photo when he lived in Boston and put the fake name "Da Phuc." It has become a popular meme when people want to say something is confusing.
