Why do boys prefer blue and girls prefer pink?

I don’t know why, girls like pink and boys like blue. Pink and blue have almost become synonymous with men and women. Korean photographer JeongMee Yoon noticed that my 5-year-old daughter loves the color pink so much that she only wears pink clothes and plays with pink toys. Later she discovered that this situation is very common whether in South Korea, the United States or other countries. Gender identities represented by pink and blue are not affected by cultural demographics and show a global trend. Masami is very interested in this phenomenon. Since 2005, she has been traveling the world to find children and photograph their bedrooms. Titled "Powder and Blue", the photographer hopes to explore the impact of consumerism and globalization on children's gender perceptions from different cultural groups.

The girls' photos are filled with Are candy-like, gooey pink toys that are round and cute, but are they really what little girls like, or are they what society thinks girls should like? The toys in girls’ rooms are related to makeup, clothing, and cooking. It is related to robots, technology and dinosaurs. The merchants make anthropomorphic ponies based on the characteristics of girls. They have hairpins, combs, and jewelry. Girls can dress up the ponies. These highly stylized products have a profound impact on children's development. Gender identity. The purchase of girls in turn prompts businesses to continue production, which is a cycle.

JeongMee said that the preference for pink and blue may not be a real favorite, however. When he went to the mall, he could only choose from a pile of light blue and dark blue clothes. The clothes and toys for children had already been stipulated according to the standards of boys and girls. JeongMee divided the project into three chapters. First. A follow-up visit was made four years after the first shooting, and another six years after the second shooting. Three chapters of photos illustrate how gender identity in powder and blue can develop at an early age. It is established over time and can gradually adapt or disappear over time.

By the third or fourth grade, girls usually change their taste to purple or other colors. Some even fall in love with blue, but regardless. How, the first impression of women falling in love with pink has been formed. Each photo shoot takes 4 to 8 hours, and it takes time to arrange the various small objects neatly. The square composition makes the picture more crowded and spectacular. She pays special attention to the children. Expressions and postures, trying to keep it neutral. Interestingly, pink is considered a weak red, representing strength, which is reserved for men. The blue for men and pink for women is actually a new trend after World War II.
