The camouflaged carrot print by Marcus Orlandi refers to the name for someone (ARMYCARAT) who belongs to the fandoms of both BTS (ARMY) and SEVENTEEN (CARAT). The banner features a phrase that\u2019s used by K-pop fans when they\u2019re so overwhelmed by the charm of their idols that they want to \u201cwreck the earth\u201d. I made it with lots of help from Marcus for his Hidden Voices project for Thamesmead Festival in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/chloecooper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_1739-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chloecooper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_1739-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chloecooper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_1739-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/chloecooper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_1739-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/chloecooper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_1739-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chloecooper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_1739-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/chloecooper.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_1739-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The first two pics are from the excellent <strong>Fandom <\/strong>show by <strong>BAD ART<\/strong>, in which the shrine was shown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fangirling From Home (FFH) is a home-made devotional shrine dedicated to the K-pop idol groups BTS and SEVENTEEN.
