To get back to the intended theme of this week's #KPopMonday, "Maniac" actually has members with red and blue hair: #BangChan has blue hair, #Hyunjin has red hair.
to the best of my knowledge, they've never explained what they intend to convey with the use of red and blue, and I haven't seen any fan theories either (although I'm sure there are some out there).
This is my theory (still evolving):
Blue represents stability, loyalty, safety, comfort, calm, trust. But when everything is blue without any red, it's also boring, suffocating, restrictive.
Red represents excitement, energy, power, sex, passion. But, alone, it's danger, threat, overwhelm, lack of control, anger, pain.
In more recent MVs, there seems to be more of an equal balance between the red and the blue, like they're getting the balance closer to what they want in their life and work as well.
#KpopMonday #RedVsBlue theme ??!!!
I know it's supposed to be about red or blue hair in the MV, but ...
The symbolic use of red and blue in skz's collection of MVs is one of my minor obsessions, especially with the use of red and blue moons, as well as red and blue lighting.
#BangChan and #Hyunjin's "Escape" MV is one of the ones where they go hardest on the red & blue symbolism

I've watched the Karma trailer a few times and scrolled through endless gifs on Tumblr already and I am pleased.
Delightfully Aussie bit at the end with #BangChan's "hip hip"
(I've heard that when one person says "hip hip" and everyone responds with "hooray" it's an Aussie thing that can mystify non-Aussies. I genuinely have no idea if this is true.)
The #skzRed and #skzBlue is subtle this time but jumps out at me because I'm looking for it, I guess. The main thing is how integrated the two colours are now. No longer mostly-red or mostly-blue. Instead there's an even mix of both. Like they've found a balance.

After acquiring some of the Japanese #skz releases, I looked at my shelf of skz albums and realised that I had at least one version of all the main Korean releases except for #InLife and #Oddinary.
Um.
I now have at least one version of all skz's main Korean releases.
Oddinary is available in blue and red versions. Kinda want to get the red version because it feels incomplete to have only the blue.
(argh I am such a sucker for this stuff)
HEY
They're doing the red/blue thing in this #Levanter dance practice video.
They all have at least one blue thing and at least one red thing on them, except maybe for #BangChan and #Hyunjin ?? I can only see blue on them.
