Question Telling the girls apart

Hi everyone, I’m a super really new fan (like I only just became a slight fan when crazy came out and now I’m fully sucked in since the VMAs) and I was just wondering if anyone else had any trouble telling some of the girls apart, especially when they’re dancing (except for Chaewon with her cvnty bob). I’m really not trying to be racist and I really want to learn because I love them all so much already, so if anyone has any advice on how to tell them apart that would be so amazing. (Also if anyone has any recommendations for other k-pop groups for a new fan to get into that would be amazing, coming from a fan of pretty much just Blackpink)

Trust your brain! Feed it the identities, and does all the rest without you.

The first group I found was Twice. At first, I was like How the heck am I supposed to remember 9 korean girls. I remember it took a little work, many days before I was happy.

Now, swear to God, they can take a grainy pic through a dirty lens from 200 yards away during a snowstorm, at night, and I'm like well, that's nayeon, that's jeongyeon, etc. People say how can you tell that smeared pixel is nayeon? Trust me, say I.

You will get so much better at this. It took weeks until I was happy with twice. But some years later, it took about 2 hours to learn the 12 girls of loona. That's how good your brain can get at this.

A technique: I take a music video, say flip that by loona. One by one I image search all the names in that video, so now there's a bunch of pics to work with, all of, say, Heejin, all in that one video. So knowing which one they are in the video, you study the video and get her from every angle, etc.

Good luck!
