The 'Ola K Ase' meme features a wide-eyed llama or alpaca looking directly into the camera lens with a seemingly judgmental or curious expression. The caption is a phonetic misspelling of the Spanish phrase 'Hola, ¿qué haces?', which translates to 'Hello, what are you doing?'. It first gained massive popularity in the early 2010s within Spanish-speaking internet communities on sites like Twitter and Reddit before crossing over into global meme culture. It is typically used as a reaction image to start a conversation or to point out someone doing something strange or silly. The meme eventually spawned countless variations involving other animals and celebrities, but the original curious alpaca remains the definitive face of the 'Ola K Ase' phenomenon.
