wait can you explain how is the pink heart related to top (in his recent story) cause i’ve seen several people have the same reaction about the pink heart and i’m like.. i wanna know too ?? 😭😭
Absolutely I can! Here's the post anon is talking about.
So pink is a colour that's been associated with Seunghyun for a hot minute. I've seen various fan accounts that state it's his favourite colour, but I can't find anything verifiable that he's ever said, however his most iconic and beloved look is when he had pink hair during the MADE era:
It's also one half of the iconic pink and green GD&TOP combination. Jiyong is very aware of how amazing this colour scheme looked together, because that second photo is a manip done by a shipper and he posted it anyway for Seunghyun's birthday in 2020:
We've all heard about the infamous pink and teal/turquoise matching watches - the theory goes that Jiyong has the pink one because it's Seunghyun's favourite colour, and Seunghyun has the turquoise one because it's Jiyong's favourite colour:
Finally, you've got all the insanity that was Jiyong last spring. It included the peaceminusone Highball collab, which was chock full of Seunghyun imagery, such as a pink spaceman (and if you need to know why a spaceman is relevant, you can read all about that here):
And it also included the Home Sweet Home AI music video (I know, I knowwwwww, we hate AI in this household but I have to talk about it I'm afraid). We all know how that song is tied to Seunghyun, but the video is sooooo painfully Seunghyun-coded it hurts. See how many references you can spot at home!
The pink spaceman again, flying up in his pink rocket (note that the daisy he holds has three reflected in his helmet and one on the outside, and he's touching someone made up entirely of daisies, yes Jiyong we get the symbolism you're very smart)
The child in the pink robe and teal bobble hat, with a smiley face on the back
The robot in the pink suit that's very similar to the pink suit Seunghyun wore in the 2017 photo in the top left corner of this post (again, worth noting that he's in an art museum and looking at a painting of daisies, maybe getting Stendhal Syndrome while he's at it, YES OK THANK YOU JIYONG)
Amazing nod to the pink suit hanging up next to a coat side by side in a fucking open closet like they're about to step out together?? SURE!!!!
Anyway yes, that's the summary of why pink = TOP colour, and why Jiyong choosing a pink love heart to go alongside his GTOP story rather than a traditional red one sends me insaaaaaaane 🩷💚
