Signification

Contexte culturel
The 'Personal Color' trend is huge. People often answer this question by referring to their seasonal tone (e.g., 'I'm a Winter Cool'). Obangsaek (Five Cardinal Colors) are blue, red, yellow, white, and black. They represent the five elements and directions. Every K-pop group has an official color. Fans often say they like that specific color to show loyalty. In corporate Korea, blue is often associated with trust and is the most common color for suits and logos (like Samsung).
