Hongki talks about fandom color & mention IKON

*For those who are complaining about Ikon's konbat. That's a lightstick, not a balloon color. Every group have their own balloon color and their own lightstick and FTISLAND is the only group until now who use flags instead of balloons*

HG: In Korea, it started when Our big senior & their fans got their own fandom color..
This is important to each them..
For example your holding Red..
It's was Tohoshinki's color!!
Blue was for Super Junior..
Our (FTISLAND) was Yellow..
If junior artist use their existing fandom color, of course they will got angry!!
Jamil: Even in different shades??
HG: Yes.. I don't know if you know it, but there's was an issue regarding the senior fandom color being use by a rookie group..
Do you know IKON?? They was in the big news in Korea lately for having a sama color with the big senior!! Before some fans use ballon for cheering their idol & we use a flag (pentastick)!! This was a trademark for each of the fandom..

I think Hongki is trying to say that every artists needs their own trademark. Though Yellow is also used by BIGBANG, but instead of yellow balloons FTISLAND use yellow flags to trademark themself. I totally agree with what he says and yes there aren't so many colors you can choose from, but there are more ways to identify yourself. Just like how FTISLAND have their own pentastick. I would be angry as well if a rookie group starts to use yellow flags.
