72	!!Tropes that apply to Lovelyz
73
74
75	[[folder:General Tropes]]
76	* DistaffCounterpart: To their labelmates and seniors, Music/{{INFINITE}}, especially as they are Woollim’s first (and at this point only) GirlGroup.
77	* FanCommunityNicknames: Lovelyz calls their fans ‘Lovelinus’.
78	* GenkiGirl: Mijoo, who is known for her extraness. She’s energetic, loud, and enthusiastic about most things.
79	* GenreSavvy: When Lovelyz can choose a category of people who can vote as a designated group on ''Series/{{Queendom}}'', they suspect that older ladies will like their cheerful music and pick the housewives category. They indeed get their vote.
80	* GirlGroup: A KoreanPopMusic example.
81	* TheLeader: [=BabySoul=].
82	* OneSteveLimit: [=BabySoul=] and Sujeong’s names are written the same in Hangul. Thankfully, [=BabySoul=] uses a stage name and their names are written differently when romanized.
83	* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Notably averted. K-Pop stylists have often been criticized for having girls wear short, skimpy dresses that they are visibly uncomfortable in. The situation became so bad that the stylist for Lovelyz was actually praised simply for dressing the group in skirts that were long enough for the girls to feel comfortable wearing, and in outfits that were safe from [[WardrobeMalfunction accidentally revealing too much]] during performances.
84	* RunningGag: Kei liking Mamamoo's Hwasa on ''Series/{{Queendom}}''. She quickly links arms with her even though they barely know each other, makes great effort to be picked as Hwasa's duet partner (she succeeds!), brought food for her and tells her how much she likes her every minute or so. Though Hwasa is a little more introverted, she shows her appreciation as well. She even talks about her in the final episode, though the duet part is long over then.
85	* SmokingIsNotCool: In August 2016, Lovelyz became anti-smoking ambassadors for the South Korean military, appointed by the Ministry of National Defense.
86	* StageNames: [=BabySoul=], Kei, and Jin for Soojung, Jiyeon, and Myungeun respectively.
87	* TeamMom: Jiae has been called the mother of the group, especially for baking desserts for the other members.
88	* XtremeKoolLetterz:
89	** Lovely'''z'''
90	** Alway'''z''' - their second concert.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder: Music Tropes]]
94	* CapsLock: 'FALLIN''
95	* CoverVersion: The girls have performed multiple covers, the most notable being their acapella version of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” which gained attention online, and was broadcast on the American Fox News Channel.
96	* DistaffCounterpart: Their debut album “Girls’ Invasion” serves as this to Music/{{INFINITE}}’s debut album “First Invasion”.
97	* Main/{{Instrumental}}: Muse on Music is an instrumental album with 33 songs on its tracklist.
98	* OneWordTitle: Frequent in their song titles, for example: "Hi~", "[=WoW!=], "Twinkle", etc.
99	[[/folder]]
100
101	[[folder: Lovelyz in Wonderland]]
102	* AdultChild:
103	** In the first episode, Jisoo says: “Myungeun is 21 years old but she's still a baby.”
104	** About Sujeong drinking alcohol, Jiae said: “Sujeong is 20 years old[[note]]20 in Korean age, she would have been 18 internationally at the time of shooting[[/note]] but she’s still like 9 years old.”
105	* AliceAllusion: Basically, Lovelyz in Wonderland = Alice in Wonderland
106	** The PlayingCardMotifs, especially the little drawings of the heart soldiers
107	** [=BabySoul=] and Yein drank ‘potions’ which had ‘drink me’ on them to switch their roles in Lovelyz, much like the food and drinks in Alice in Wonderland which said ‘eat me’ or ‘drink me’.
108	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The Wonderland promised Lovelyz everything they wished for. This led to some problems.
109	** Yein said she wanted to try being the leader. She discovers how hard it is soon after, especially when she struggles with talking to their boss.
110	** Jiae and Mijoo said they wanted to become closer. Naturally, the show’s staff makes them roommates and later handcuffs them together in episode 3 and 4.
111	* BigSisterWorship: The show’s captions regularly call Jin an “unnie lover” - which literally translates into “big sister lover”.
112	* BlatantLies:
113	** Episode 7 begins with Woollim telling them that Lovelyz is disbanding. No one believes it.
114	** After Mijoo sees the handcuffs and reads that she’ll be cuffed to Jiae: “Bye! I never saw this!” after being filmed that she read it in its entirety.
115	* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang:
116	** Jiae and Mijoo, to the point that the staff made them room together (both in the dorms and in Lovelyz House) and even handcuffed the two together to become closer.
117	** Sujeong and Jisoo as well. Mijoo and Jiae returned the handcuffing favour so that they can also get closer.
118	* TheParanoiac: From the very start, Jin is paranoid and thinks that something bad is bound to happen to them.
119	** When she received the invitation, she threw it at the computer because she was scared. ([[CatScare the computer made a noise that scared her]])
120	** When they first arrived at the house, she told Jisoo that she felt paranoid because the house was too good.
121	** When a surprise pyjama party turned up in their living room (complete with a set-out table of food), the captions said that she was very uneasy and suspicious of it.
122	* PlayingCardMotifs:
123	** The rooms are divided into Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs. Roommates are decided by which symbol was at the bottom of their invitation - Spades go to Spades room etc.
124	** Some captions are designed with spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs.
125	* PowerUpFood: Bottles of milk - ‘potions’ - were given to Yein and [=BabySoul=], which gave them the power to switch their roles in Lovelyz.
126	* SwappedRoles: Episodes 5 to 6 shows [=BabySoul=] and Yein switching their roles in the group for a day - [=BabySoul=] becoming the [[TheBabyOfTheBunch maknae]] and [[YoungAndInCharge Yein becoming the leader]]. Through this, Yein learned how difficult it was to be The Leader and [=BabySoul=] learned how hard it was to be the youngest member.
