    TinEye turns up these results, with the first results from 2014.

    It looks like some of the early images had some text on them:

    EDIT: That domain (“890801.net”) has lapsed in registration, but using archive.org’s Wayback Machine to look at that website in 2014, it has an image with similar text visible:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20141216185019/http://890801.net/

    EDIT2: Searching for “890801 halo” turns up this YouTube channel, which looks to also have the same content.

    That has Korean-alphabet subtitles, so I’m assuming that it was some sort of Korean girl band from a decade and a half ago.

    EDIT3: I won’t dig further, but I’d guess that that’s probably enough information for you to research further if you’re interested.

    EDIT4: I lied. One last data point. The YouTube description mentions that this is a “Girls’ Generation” song, and some of the comments have users raving about some “Tiffany”. Assuming that that is actually “Girls’ Generation”, a Korean girls band, and not some later Korean girls band doing a cover of one of their songs, one of their members is in fact also named “Tiffany”, so the girl in question might be a member of that band:

      It doesn’t fit the community. Description is literally about “thought provoking questions”, not functioning as OP’s search engine

      Probably because it was marked nsfw. My first thought was that someone’s looking for porn.

        “Probably because it was marked nsfw. My first thought was that someone’s looking for porn.”

        That someone is me. And no, if I wanted porn I’d go straight to Pornhub, not post a reverse-image-search question on Lemmy. Your first thought was porn because that’s where your brain lives. The post is a fully clothed red-haired woman in a blue dress with a clear title asking who she is. The only person who immediately jumped to “this must be porn” is you. Congrats on outing your own reflex. The rest of us managed to read the title and see an actual question.

        Have a nice day pal.

      Because the poster could search it up online instead of asking here?

      (I was curious anyway, it’s a Korean singer)

        Brother, the entire point of Ask communities is people asking questions they could technically search. That’s the whole genre. You just described 90% of every AskLemmy, AskReddit, and StackExchange post ever made and somehow still thought you dropped wisdom.

        You even admitted you were curious and looked it up yourself… after complaining that someone asked. Peak self-own. Next time just stay quiet and enjoy the free reverse image search someone else already did for you.

        Have a nice day pal.

          As Ember pointed out, no, that’s not the point of the community. It’s for open ended, thought provoking questions.

          Self-own? I just answered the question with why I think it’s downvoted, without giving judgement. And I vaguely gave the answer to the main question, because I’m still unsure whether you want us to look it up for you or if you want to know whether we know her

      The downvotes are mostly from misogynist who hates beautiful, rich, and powerful women and people who get offended that someone used an Ask community the way it’s designed, then felt the need to announce it. Classic Lemmy: ask a question → get reverse image search results → also get a free lecture about how you should’ve already known the answer. Peak productivity.
