Pledis Changes After School's Balloon Color

Pledis decided to change After School's balloon color from "Metal Periwinkle" to "Yellow."

It is said that some ELF's are saying that Metal Periwinkle looks like Sapphire Blue and requested Pledis to change it. Some f(x) fans also requested to change After School's Color as it's the same as f(x)'s color.

With this Pledis tweeted After School's new balloon color before the start of Dream Concert 2011. Followed by U-ie and Jung Ah's Tweets Stating that Yellow is the new Ballon Color for Playgirlz(Boyz).

tbh this is just an excuse for me to talk about kpop balloon colors aka my favorite thing ever.
and yes, other groups have yellow as their color. loads of them do, actually.

DAMN THTS ALOT~ if anything include BIGBANG's YELLOW CROWN LIGHTSTICK :P
although thts not their official color

[yunsias.livejournal.com]

what color is f(x)'s balloon color.

argh this reminds me of beast's midnight blue, it was so pretty. why did they change it :(

anyway, this yellow is pretty.

[ssehun.livejournal.com]

They changed it??? What color is it now???

[raisinrum.livejournal.com]

the previous color doesn't look that same to f(x)'s IMO, but yes it was quite similar to super junior's.

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

it's not really butthurt.

balloon colors are like gang colors; they represent entire fandoms. this kind of stuff happens within companies, too (like with the sone vs shapley thing), so it's not like this is some sme vs the world thing

[pixiebugg89.livejournal.com]

aish kpop ballon/light stick colour politics.

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

i love it

[synykiss.livejournal.com]

Some f(x) fans also requested to change After School's Color as it's the same as f(x)'s color.

LOL WTF, After School debuted before F(x), surely they don't have the right to demand a senior group change their ballon colour.?

Yellow suites them though.
But I always imagine AS withe orange too.

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

AS debuted first, but f(x) had a color first. it's first dibs.

[crazyxcami.livejournal.com]

too many damn Yellows -_-
BoA,BB,FT.Island...After School...
but not enough colors!

well i'll just sit back and LOL~ :D

[notochrasy.livejournal.com]

I can't wait until more groups try to use orange.

I'm actually looking forward until the day that Shinhwa/SHCJ give their blessing to some upcoming groups that will have orange as their balloon color.

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

lol apparently Cho PD gave Block B Orange and Blue for BBC to use

[oystersauce87.livejournal.com]

How about not using balloons. People won't get confused.

[twinkystar16.livejournal.com]

yup..like how FTI with their pentastick

[miszmba.livejournal.com]

there's only so many colours lol but I guess it is serious business.

[zhoma.livejournal.com]

it is indeeed.

[aya-sama3000.livejournal.com]

i hope jumping boas, primadonnas, Sechskies, and seo taiji fans bitch about AS having yellow as their BC now...though it looks a bit goldish yellow...so there shouldnt be any qualms

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

JB's cant really say anything since they have Pearl Yellow.

The only fans I could see having a legit excuse to bitch would be DSF since both Seo Taiji fans and Primadonna's use flags to support their artists, so there wouldn't be any confusion with them.

[vonnadarling.livejournal.com]

I wonder if BoA, FTI or Big Bang fans will get pissed. lol

/sits back to wait and watch

[oystersauce87.livejournal.com]

I don't think primadonnas would care because they're not using balloons. And they're not the first one to use yellow, so.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

fluorescent beige would have been a safe choice

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

give it a month, someone will take it

[morgenderper.livejournal.com]

OMG I love balloon colours politics too !

Can't wait for Block B to come up with Orange and Blue gears.
And all those nugu groups who debuted recently to find a suitable colours that no one uses....

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

omg i see block b using towels or something just bc cho pd is so set on them ~not being like other idols~

[chraka.livejournal.com]

I wonder what will happen when they run out of colours

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

they'll just start doing what kim jong kook and psy used to do and have their fans wave objects lol

[regnsky.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have a chart to all the fan-club colors? ^^

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

why yes I do n__n

theres one on tumblr (http://kpoplists.tumblr.com/post/3637287228) and theres one here on livejournal (http://kpoplists.livejournal.com/5497.html)

although tbqh the one on tumblr is more updated at the moment because I've been ignoring the lj site orz

[zhoma.livejournal.com]

now i am wondering what RAINBOW will use for the balloon's color. i hope it will be 7-colors balloon. lol.

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

lol rainbow kind of screwed themselves when they chose their name bc now everyone is anticipating them picking multiple colors

[moronicus-kyla.livejournal.com]

there are only so many colors to choose from lol. btw, does anybody know the colors of Infinite and Teen Top?

still waiting for a rainbow gradient balloon 8D

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

teen top is pearl light lavender (but no fanclub yet) and infinite doesn't have a color

[maximumtimo.livejournal.com]

What happened to 4minute btw, since pressed s.e.s fans made a fuss over them using purple??

But yeah, this whole balloon colour business is so damn awkward & stupid.

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

idk afaik they're still un-officially using purple. i think i saw somewhere that said that they were giving out purple support items to fans, but technically they're still looking for a new color

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

Lol this balloon stuff is srs bsns.
How it all began will be a mystery to me
There are only so many colours in the world!

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

you can thank h.o.t for all this lol

[rubyls.livejournal.com]

hahahahah oh my god i cannot, balloon colour politics are the best. also what are all these names for the colours, why are they all pearl ______?

i think yellow suits AS!

[light-lee.livejournal.com]

pearl balloons have a sheen to them that regular balloons dont. they're a little shinier.

but really it's just for politic's sake because you can't really tell the difference unless you're holding the balloons next to each other to compare.

[minyquai.livejournal.com]

THIS PLEASES MY SYNESTHESIA

[say-o-kay.livejournal.com]

I hope someone uses rainbow balloons someday. :D But then everyone will get mad.
