[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Independent lawmaker Sohn Hye-won criticized the future United Party, a centrist-conservative unified party scheduled to launch on the 16th, for choosing 'Millennial Pink' as its symbolic color, saying, "Who is the person that insisted on such an ambiguous color as the party color even though party members expressed a desire to use red?"

On the 13th, Sohn shared an article explaining the future United Party's symbolic color, 'Millennial Pink,' on her Facebook, stating, "If you set such an ambiguous color as the party color and then blame the printing shops for not matching the color, you will be dismissed as an ignorant and pathetic expert," she said.

Earlier, the Unified Party Preparatory Committee announced on the 13th that the new party's symbolic color would be a bright pink called 'Millennial Pink.'

Sohn suggested, "Instead of disguising it with difficult English, I propose the pretty and simple Korean word Yeonbunhong (light pink)."

She added, "This color is a coined term named by someone after 2000, so it is difficult for anyone to specify its exact shade. Also, even after examining various cases where this color has been applied, it can be seen that it is reproduced in slightly different pinks. If you send the Pantone color chip they suggest to 100 printing shops, the results will be almost 100 different colors," she explained.

She continued, "If you name it Yeonbunhong, as can be seen in the cases mentioned in the article, you can insist that slightly different shades of Yeonbunhong appearing depending on the situation are all our color, so there is no need to worry," she wrote.

Earlier on the same day, Sohn wrote another post on Facebook, saying, "Don't speak at length or try to embellish; speak simply. It's clearly Yeonbunhong at a glance," and added, "When a Yeonbunhong jumper flutters, the Yeonbunhong skirt feels sorrowful?what will the spring breeze do?"
