Morphology
soyjak + image
Opaque: the element 'soyjak' is a culture-specific meme name/slang with no transparent lexical meaning for learners, so knowing 'image' only indicates a picture but not the cartoonish meme figure or its pragmatic use. Understanding this MWE requires sociocultural/internet-meme knowledge rather than composition of constituent meanings, so a B1 learner who only knows the component words would not reliably infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Soyjak image may come from an older meme called 'Wojak' mixed with the insult 'soyboy', creating a simple cartoon man with a big open mouth and a silly, exaggerated face. That loud, funny picture is used online to show strong feelings or to mock someone's reaction, so soyjak image now means a meme used to express or make fun of emotions.
