The Red Velvet Identification Test

Many k-pop fans are excited about the potential shown by Red Velvet, SM's newest girl group.  Many of them are also very confused, and have been asking Kpopalypse the following question:



Never one to let down the k-pop fan community, Kpopalypse is here to help you in your important quest for k-pop knowledge!

I'm not just making this shit up, by the way.  People really are confused by this shit.  A simple Google search while researching this topic revealed that the general k-pop fan population is confused as a motherfuck about which Red Velvet member is which at any given moment.

As you can see by the last result, there's speculation that the Red Velvet members may have gotten prettier, and that this may be the cause of the confusion.  If you're someone struggling to become a k-pop idol and you're looking at your options for becoming prettier, you basically have two choices:

1. Get famous, then become prettier while you are under the public eye, with all the gossip and scrutiny this entails
2. Get prettier during your training period when you are safely locked in the dungeon and cameras aren't looking at you

It makes sense to choose the second option, however it could also be the case that SM Entertainment just scouted for a bunch of girls with the same look in the first place.  Either way, there's no doubting that the girls in Red Velvet do look strikingly similar, for whatever reason.

Let's introduce the Red Velvet members one by one so we can help better differentiate them.
