If you are unaware, apparently YG decided in a move that is either really stupid or really brilliant to make 2NE1's official color <b>hot pink</b>. As we all know, SNSD's official color is also pink, pastel rose specifically. And as we ALSO know, SNSD is not actually the first (or even the only) group of female artists to have a pink color to represent their them. Remember The Grace?
But, of course, some SONEs are completely bypassing these facts and demanding YG change their color. They are not going to share the same color with 2NE1!
Except, they kinda don't:
As you can see, 2NE1 and SNSD do not actually have the same color of pink. SNSD fans seem to resent even the closeness in shade and some have said because, get this, SNSD has seniority, 2NE1 should have to change their official color.
I have already seen some rather stupid justifications for this complaint when brought up against the inevitable "But didn't CSJH have pink first? What about their being sunbaes?" One delusional fan declared SNSD the official holder of the color pink since The Grace was absent from Korea (did Shapley leave Korea too?) and because they are from the same company.
What's really interesting is that these disgruntled fans have no bones about claiming an entire spectrum of a particular color, and despite not being the first group to have the color (totally excluding the billions of other people in our Earth's history to wear or own anything pink) can ignore this fact in their head to make demands that really they don't have the power to make.
Charming.
Still, I doubt very much that YG or Black-jack cares. The former is too busy catering to the later and the later is just glad to have a name.
Kpop is known for its ridiculous controversies, but this has got to be one of the more stupid ones in recent memory.
InSones, in case you've forgotten, SM has more to worry about than a freaking shade of pink. A <i>shade</i> of pink, as SNSD does not own, did not create, and sure as heck did not copyrigh any and every color of pink in existence. As such, this lame wank should stop.
It has been a largely quiet year for the plastics; barring that slip up earlier in the year. But, leave it to the Sones to start stirring up controversy over something so ridiculous.
We can only hope the more vocal nutjobs examine a color wheel sometime in the near future.
