I've seen one that said JYPAPPI before the other day while I was diriving to work on the freeway.

u/sun-tzuyus-artofwar Feb 17 '26

Not a name I was expecting to see in this thread but I applaud whoever it was who paid extra money to do this

u/TokkiJK Feb 17 '26

That’s the kinda plate I wanna come across.

u/Spiderx1016 Feb 17 '26

"ITZYYY" on my motorcycle

u/sun-tzuyus-artofwar Feb 17 '26

You should put a sticker on top of it that says:

NOT SHY

NOT ME

u/Des_Ssy got us somthin dope, heard you mad? Feb 17 '26

cooll! I can't wait to get a bike too

u/sun-tzuyus-artofwar Feb 17 '26

I am in Vancouver and aside from this, recently there was a Tesla with "BTS" and a Miata with some variation of "Chaewon"!

u/theidolcyborg Feb 17 '26

When I was in Japan during December someone had their car all decorated with decals of Chaewon

u/pongtalongswgoh Feb 17 '26

We need pics of this 😭

u/SC20147195102 Feb 17 '26

I saw that Tesla too I think 😭

u/shomauno Feb 18 '26

Also from Vancouver! I saw someone with an iconic AGUSTD license plate, as well as SNSD. There’s also someone in my building with a Taehyung-related license plate, and another with a New Jeans related plate!

u/ShallotDue151 Feb 18 '26

I’ve seen one in vancouver w/ “BTS OT7” a while back !!

u/handsoffgabriela Feb 17 '26

This was last year on my way to work.

u/seulgee Feb 18 '26

Damn this Swith is loaded

u/reen1966 Feb 18 '26

That could be 2 groups !

u/rokuinu Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

The one Virginia(?) plate that said "JOPPIN".

I want you to know that see you and I respect the hell out of you!

u/ahnpyeonghwa Feb 17 '26

im sooo jealous of that person rn

u/taemarshmallow Feb 17 '26

I wish I knew who this was so I could be best friends with them

u/TokkiJK Feb 17 '26

The fact that it’s from Nebraska makes it all the more hilarious

u/taemarshmallow Feb 17 '26

There's dozens of us!

u/elephhantine2 Feb 17 '26

They can pay for the plate using all the money they save on rent

u/ishi1807 kpop dancer Feb 17 '26

Goated

u/princesselizabeth91 Feb 17 '26

Same. I'm in NE too

u/bethe1_ Feb 17 '26

u/saranghaja Feb 17 '26

Same here. Saw a truck with that same license plate lol

u/Analyst_Lost Feb 17 '26

u/Vendrak TWICE | Jihyo's Future Husband Feb 17 '26

My mates saw a TVVICE plate. Wish it was on mine 😭

u/sun-tzuyus-artofwar Feb 17 '26

TWICE was probably taken so this was a smart move!

u/Vendrak TWICE | Jihyo's Future Husband Feb 17 '26

u/Toadcola Feb 18 '26

Maybe they just really liked Miami Vice

u/TaesGuardian Feb 17 '26

u/FlowerInformal6493 stay | evol | eyekon | blink Feb 19 '26

u/TaesGuardian Feb 19 '26

u/kenporusty i like pigeons and underrated kpop Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

I saw a YOONGI a few years ago and a few days ago I saw LEEKNOW hanging around in San Diego 🤣

Also our license plate frame says POWERED BY KPOP 🤣🤣 if you see that on an old Toyota in SD, give a friendly wave lol

u/Kateyourfaceoff Feb 17 '26

I've seen LEEKNOW in SD before too! If you ever see LEEBIT around town hi that's me 🫣

u/kenporusty i like pigeons and underrated kpop Feb 17 '26

I haven't seen that one yet, but I'll keep my eyes open!

u/generally_unsuitable Feb 17 '26

There's somebody I've seen in the SFV with a plate that says "JOPPING."

I am Indiana, USA Misamo! 👯‍♀️💃

u/chadsimpkins Feb 18 '26

Mazda and Misamo?! Fan of culture

u/designervape Feb 18 '26

It was a very long thought decision! I think the Miata is the most beautiful car in the world lololol.

Well, when I was naming my car, Sana from Twice/Misamo was just named the ambassador for Graff, a high end luxury jewelry brand, and their most expensive jewelry they’ve ever made at that. So I was thinking, if my car is the most beautiful car, and Japan/the world think Sana is (one of) the most beautiful woman… there’s only one thing to do!

u/Msken94 Feb 23 '26

Hey I’m in Indiana too fellow ONCE

Here’s my plates 😁

u/ahnpyeonghwa Feb 17 '26

u/Kel_Varnsen42069 Feb 17 '26

u/WeirdParsnip4775 Feb 17 '26

The way even her name just written looks so good, idk how to explain this thought well 😂 idk if it’s just me

u/cubsgirl101 Feb 17 '26

There’s someone who I see in the same parking garage as me with a license plate that says REVELUV. I’ve always sort of wanted to leave a note asking who their bias is.

u/vixiecat Feb 17 '26

Do it! But if they don’t say Wendy, yall can’t be friends.

u/valexitylol ⁌ Deukae ⁍ Aespa ⁌ Lessera ⁍ Girl's Day ⁌ Feb 17 '26

This is unironically how I met someone I've gone to a few concerts with. Saw them with a Deukae license plate, pulled up beside them and asked if it was about Dreamcatcher, exchanged numbers, and next thing you know we're at a Dreamcatcher concert together a month later 😭

I'm also trying to figure out a good one for my car rn :P

u/sebsebsebs Feb 17 '26

I saw a “OT9 ONCE” license plate and there were like some Mina stickers or something as well. I was excited cause I was playing Last Waltz so I sped up and rolled down my window to talk to him. He did NOT match my energy at all LOOL and just seemed kinda confused. Maybe he didn’t realize I was playing a twice song loool but yeah

u/masumi_blue Feb 17 '26

u/Bambiwoos Feb 17 '26

Sobbing cause I'm in the land of custom plates and not ONE has ever been kpop 😔💔 but I'm counting this one as kpop related

u/Better-Use-5875 Feb 17 '26

I still have my custom NCTZEN❤️ plates that were on the pretty grass and flowers background and the payment went to organizations for children. Those plates are beautiful. I’m not really that into kpop anymore but I might have to bring those back lol

u/Radiant-Sleep-3576 Feb 17 '26

Not sure if it was intentional, but a neo green car with a 127 in the license plate

u/Ella7517 Feb 17 '26

In finland we have a 3 letters + 1 - 3 nubers format. but I don't think you can accidentally get a licence plate with less than 3 numbers, but luckily everything is a kpop reference to me so I have seen "BTS-???", "SKZ-???", "BEG-???", "CLC-???", "AOA-???" and "GOT-7??" Still looking for my holy grails "IOI-101" "NCT-127" and " BAE-173" But I have seen an NCT with random numbers and a 127 with random letters.

u/An1m3 Feb 18 '26

Seen this person's car years ago. Used to constantly run into them near "that same place" making me think they worked there, but since "that same place" closed down, I haven't seen their car ever since.

u/Nivracer drippin', drippin', purple juice Feb 17 '26

Saw a pink "I ❤️ KPOP" one time.

u/earth_sunflwr Feb 17 '26

u/NarwhalsSayDerp Feb 17 '26

Mine is 'BTS', but I haven't seen any others where I live

u/Beautiful_Yellow_682 Feb 17 '26

I'm ina country where this is illegal so you won't see anything like that ever ... I'm in Europe

u/POTATOHEAD62 Feb 17 '26

Do y'all see the "happy endings"? Hmmmmmmm.

u/Dry-Masterpiece-3925 Feb 17 '26

I saw BTS, NCT, NJZ and JYP, but it wasn't by choice, it is because of the Spanish license plate system

u/Catsy_Brave Feb 18 '26

My friends has BTS on it.

u/Significant-Arrival3 Feb 18 '26

u/PuzzyFussy Feb 17 '26

In the US it's legal and they are called vanity plates. You have to pay extra monthly for them.

u/SunnySeaMonster Feb 17 '26

Monthly? Never heard of that! 

I only paid a one-time fee of about $50, and that's still my plate five years later. Maybe it varies by state, though. 

u/Tinyyellowterribilis Feb 17 '26

It's fairly common

u/Aluzar_ Feb 17 '26

You guys are in places where you can change you licence plate?! I'm jealous lol

u/chadsimpkins Feb 18 '26

AESPA HAPPY ENDINGS is crazy 💀

u/Overall_Speed_4322 Feb 18 '26

I’ve only ever seen an NCT 127 fan

u/Cutestdream girl group enjoyer tm Feb 18 '26

Unfortunately don't have a photo but I've seen one of EXO-L!

u/Dassinha_BLUBs Feb 18 '26

None lol Car license plates here in Brazil are random, it's just numbers and letters, it's really weird both on the front and back.

u/beaniewie Feb 18 '26

Not necessarily the plate

u/reen1966 Feb 18 '26

I get waves b/c of my K-pop decals. The border guy actually asked about them?

u/LandanLG Feb 18 '26

Im on the lookout for TKD 218. Meaning behind it: TKD is short for The KingDom. Their debut date is 2/18/21

u/Saturnooo_6 Bi-llonarie Feb 18 '26

u/YvetteKnowsBest Feb 18 '26

u/Wickeni Feb 19 '26

I'm looking at some comments, man, this is really cool, I didn't even know you could do this!

u/DaGayEnby Stans every gay Boygroup ever (skz xlov bnd junhan ult) Feb 19 '26

wha- why do americans get to choose so much about their plates?? In Germany, the first letter is always the City, and I’m Not going to drop mine here but you can choose the Numbers after that and I’ve Seen 143 and 127 :3

u/SarahJFroxy Feb 20 '26

you pay extra (yearly with registration renewal) and it has to be approved (no hate, blatantly inappropriate, etc) 😊 plus there's some programs where you get a custom icon on your plate and part of the extra fee goes to the corresponding cause

u/KimLip4Life Feb 19 '26

my own 2 personal plates - LipSeul and OURII

u/bloompao Feb 19 '26

The very classic nct 127

u/dynamic_rum Feb 20 '26

I saw DAHYUN on a C300

u/FamilyDibidisgrace2 Feb 20 '26

Once drove past a "SWDBS" and when I briefly visited Cali I saw a "WWWSK" another encounter was with someone with an aqua car with the plate "JJONG" when I was with my brother. I was like 9 when most of these occurrences happened.

u/cutieguyjosh Feb 20 '26

Saw this in NY right after TWICE concert!!

u/TeamG-A-E Feb 20 '26

I saw this one and thought it was a coincidence at first. It's svt's DK and his birthday with a reversed 17.

u/honeybebegom Feb 21 '26

Not license plate, but my old frame. It faded sooo bad after like 4 years. This is a picture from needing proof from being rear ended. Guess they weren't a fan. XD

u/Jimins_hands Feb 21 '26

I was so excited when I saw this in my city 🥹
