8Orange Caramel is a three-member sub unit of the K-Pop GirlGroup After School. While their main group's image is more based towards sexiness, Orange Caramel's songs have featured a retro Trot sound and are almost always accompanied by a bright, colorful and quirky music video.

40
41* BreakoutCharacter:
42** They're more popular than their original group (After School).
43** The subunit catapulted Nana as the most popular After School member. Previously that spot belonged to Uee. Even former leader Kahi admits Nana's popularity keeps increasing, while Uee's keeps decreasing.
44* TheCameo: Both Minhyun and JR from Music/{{Nuest}} make appearances in the Shanghai Romance and Bangkok City music videos respectively. However, those videos released before Nu'est debuted, making it a case of RetroactiveRecognition.
45* CostumePorn: They have worn many elaborate outfits on stage, but their food-themed costumes during "Catallena" promotions were perhaps the most detailed and complex of them all.
46* {{Crossdresser}}: The "girl" in a wedding dress in "Lipstick" and the octopus from "Catallena" are both played by men.
47* TheCutie:
48** Raina is almost the archetype of the cute Asian girl.
49** Lizzy is known for her aegyo, especially saying "aing!"[[note]]A popular exclamation in aegyo[[/note]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1UWnpNARUM a lot]].
50* DarkerAndEdgier: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAuqaHHkO-g Bubble Bath]]" is a song all about a nasty breakup from the girl's point of view.
51* GratuitousEnglish: Their songs feature this occasionally, but "Catallena" takes it one step further by having Gratuitous ''Punjabi'': "Jutti Meri Oye Hoi Hoi/Paula Mera Oye Hoi Hoi".
52* HeatWave: The beginning of "Abing Abing."
53* {{Homage}}:
54** The video for "My Copycat" features scenes made to look like "Spot the Difference" puzzles and "Literature/WheresWally" books.

58* {{Jingle}}: Their song "Abing Abing" is more than a jingle, it's a 3 1/2-minute advertisement for Baskin Robbins patbingsoo with the PaperThinDisguise of a music video.

60* LyricalDissonance: "The Gangnam Avenue" is a song about a breakup, set to a lively techno instrumental.
