About
Aye Domino is a copypasta meme referencing the lyrics of the song "Domino" by K-pop group Stray Kids. In 2021, a fake DM exchange in which group member Han Jisung messages a fan account to ask them to take down a tweet, attempting to prove himself as the real Jisung by commenting "aye domino," started spreading online, becoming a reaction image and inspiring the use of "aye domino" as a catchphrase and spam comment over the following years. In August 2024, the copypasta went viral on TikTok.
Origin
On August 23rd, 2021, Stray Kids released the song "Domino," which features the lyric, "Aye, domino" (shown below).
On December 27th, 2021, X[1] user @qiqilix posted a fake DM screenshot of someone pretending to be Bang Chan from Stray Kids and begging someone to delete a tweet, the user writing, "this is worse than the han aye domino one." This is the earliest known reference to the "aye domino" meme, suggesting it first started going around social media that year, although it is unclear where.
The earliest known upload of the actual meme was posted by X[2] user @loveofmark on March 1st, 2023, garnering around six likes in a year (shown below). In the meme, the fake Han Jisung asks "stay" to delete a tweet, which seemingly suggests that he is DMing a fan page, as the fandom for Stray Kids is called "STAY."[3]
