Vmin - Pink, Blue and purple
So I just wanted to talk a little bit about the colors Pink, Blue and Purple and how Vmin in particular seem to want us to pay attention to their hair and these colors. I’m a bit curious to see if the purple, pink and blue theme will mean something for BTS, not just Vmin. It could possibly even be linked to the comeback. Also, these three colors in particular represent bisexuality, but I have no idea if that is a reason for their use of these colors in particular.
I know people have been talking about it since Hobi’s MV for Daydream where the BI colors appeared and now again after PERSONA I must say it would be interesting if that is really what they want to represent, even if only in the most subtle way. There being another man (Tae, lol) on the bed in front of a possible bi pride flag just seems like it could be done on purpose.
But as a Vmin biased blog I can’t help but to look a bit closer at Tae and Jimin. We already know purple can in some ways be seen as a Taehyung, but also a Vmin, color (check my post Red + Blue = Vmin for a little more on the subject). BTS has made a thing of the “I purple you” and they all love using it. But there was a point where I started to think “Does Jimin want us to associate him with the color purple?”
That was when he colored it purple the first time for Seoul Music Awards on the 15th of January, but not only that, he also made sure to point at his hair and say "Army... Borahae!"
At that time Tae also had blue hair, and lets just say that it made Vmin stand out.
Now Jimin is back to purple again, and has been switching between pink and purple a few times. The pink is perhaps even more interesting, not because of the color itself but because it seems to be done with a purpose together with Taehyung.
On Jan. 12 they performed at Nagoya and here both Jimin and Tae showed off some new hair colors. Tae had blue and Jimin was back to pink. Even then some Vminies noted a possible connection to Tae and Jimin’s birthstones, which is probably a coincidence, but the colors were noted all the same.
But it’s not impossible that they could have been looking up their birthstones. Vmin’s famous couple necklace is a garnet, which is a stone with certain meaning that could have been chosen on purpose as well. Just imagine if they know the meaning behind all these stones.
Anyways, back to their hair. People talked about how Vmin had switched hair colors with each other, since Jimin recently had blue hair while Tae had pink, though not at the same time.
But after seeing them in these colors at the same time a lot of people talked about it and made comparisons to various famous duos with pink and blue hair, like the Ouran Host Club twins, little twin stars or even just compared them to cotton candy or bubblegum. The point is that it got a lot of attention, even to the point of getting some articles written about it.
For me what I started to think about was how BTS has used blue and pink several times before, for example on their different album versions.
They also have the blue and pink for the Smeraldo flower. “Smeraldo” in flower language means “sincerity that could not be delivered”.
We can guess that the colors might have some meaning. If it’s connected to why Vmin chose the hair colors who knows, maybe time will tell. I just find it interesting.
And then they let their hair fade for a while, but came back with pink and blue in Hong Kong. They repeated the same hair that they had already gotten a lot of joint attention for. So at this point it is really starting to feel like they want us to notice the hair, and again once more Vmin became a hot topic because of it.
But what it interesting here is that Vmin must already know that a lot of people will pay attention to their hair. Though I suppose it doesn’t have to mean anything in particular with the colors, considering Vmin also gained a lot of attention at the Grammy’s and their hair there, where Tae was greenish and Jimin had purple which also made them stand out a lot.
But, what I find the most interesting from Hong Kong is their rings. Because Taehyung usually likes to match his jewelry with his hair and has done so plenty of times before. Meaning he pays attention to what he wears and how he matches with colors.
So it was not difficult to notice that Tae had a huge pink ring on in Hong Kong, clashing with his own hair but matching with Jimin’s. And as if that wasn’t enough Jimin wore both pink and blue rings (he usually prefers plain silver).
They both wore each other’s colors together so it’s difficult to ignore, and I personally can’t help but to think they want us to look at them and notice. (It also happens to be on their ring fingers.)
Then they also wore their matching Chanel necklaces.
So personally I am just really curious to see if this is something that well keep happening and perhaps even have relevance in the BTS comeback. Especially since we know PERSONA has a pink theme color.
In PERSONA (as mentioned before) Namjoon possibly also has the bi pride flag just like Hobi in Daydream.
Then there is of course the red and blue (korean flag and yin/yang) as well… Colors and symbolism that BTS has used a lot over the years. Basically I am just very curious to see if this is all connected and what this comeback will give us.
Now I have no idea if all this red, blue, pink and purple will have anything to do with Vmin specifically. All I am saying is that it looks like Vmin in particular has gone out of the way to get noticed for these colors, and very often at the same time.
BTS has used these colors a lot and even looking back in their MVs or performances we see a lot of these contrasting colors used. Again, all I am saying is that I notice these colors on Vmin and that it seems like they want me to notice.
So in the small things, once again Jimin and Taehyung seems to want to send us some messages.
I hope you all enjoyed this post. I am sure I missed a lot of things as this was a bit rushed. I just wanted people to pay some closer attention to Vmin, and share this before the comeback to see if maybe it will prove to have some relevance. Either way I am super excited for the comeback!
Also, this tweet and the image url had some great timing.... BcVGay.
Thanks for reading. Purple Vmin!
