[ASKKPOP] Eric and Junjin have something to say on the iKON vs Shinhwa lightstick color

EricandJunjinput in their two cents to the currentiKONvsShinhwalightstick controversy.



Currently, there is controversy over the new iKON lightsticks. While the color is different from Shinhwa's lightstick (as can be seen above), it's been pointed out that 'orange' in general is a color associated to Shinhwa, not to mention that the dark orange of iKON's lightstick is used by Shinhwa's balloons and the raincoats that are characteristic of the Shinhwa Changjo fanbase (as can be seen below).



However, it does seem like Shinhwa Changjo might have taken things a bit too far by trending what it seems like 'd*ckless iKON', with one alleged Shinhwa fan even making comments such as that fans use the lightstick for other things because iKON are missing a certain part.


On the controvery, Shinhwa's leader Eric himself haspostedon Twitter, "Hoobaenims, orange has been Shinhwa Changjo's color since '98 when we debuted. Please avoid orange if possible. Let's meet next year when we promote. From Shinhwa' Eric."

Junjin also posted on hisInstagram, "Shinhwa, Shinhwa Changjo. There's no other words needed heh. See you Sunday. #Shinhwa #Shinhwachangjo #Orange #StayOrangeTomorrowTooHeh#"



In the video Junjin posted, it's easier to see that the orange of Shinhwa Changjo matches the iKON lighstick more. However, both Eric and Junjin have been criticized for not addressing the matter of Shinhwa Changjos trending a sexual comment toward iKON.

What do you think about the situation?
