Suyeon's phone rang. She rushed to fish it out of her pocket, elbowing Lua in the ribs in the process. She didn't know who it could possibly be - all her members were here watching "My Robot Girlfriend" and Manager-nim had just left half an hour ago and had no reason to call. Her parents never called this late, so she was afraid there was an emergency. It was with a sense of relief when she got the phone out of her pocket and saw that it was Manager-nim. She jumped up and ran in her room and shut the door before she swiped the screen to answer.
"Hello Suyeon! I've got some good news for you!" Manager-nim sounded extraordinarily happy, this must be very good news. Suyeon paced around the room as Manager-nim gave her the news - Weki Meki now had a fanclub name and official colors!
"That's amazing news!" Suyeon said. "It actually ties in to something the members and I were talking about the other night: We wanted to do a Vlive expressing support for all our fans. You know, something like 'Whether you're a boy or a girl, gay or straight, Korean or international. . . whatever you might be, Weki Meki supports you and you should support each other.' Maybe we could do that in conjunction with announcing the fandom name?"
"I see what you did there," Manager-nim said. "I can't make any promises - I have to see what the big bosses say - but if you record your message and send it to me, I'll see what I can do, and release it to the fans if I get clearance. But you've got to be ready to record a different version without that particular message." - Suyeon wondered how many more ways Manager-nim could come up with to keep from saying "gay" or "LGBT" - "Do we have an understanding?"
"Yes Manager-nim! Thank you Manager-nim! I've got to go tell the members about this great news! Bye!"
Suyeon ran out of her room, slapped off the TV, and stood in front of her members. Before they had a chance to protest her turning off the show, she started squealing excitedly. "Aieeee! Everyone! We've got a fandom name and official colors!"

The video opened with Suyeon in the middle of the screen, surrounded by her members.
"Annyeong, everyone!" Suyeon began, her smile lighting up her face. "Recently we got a letter from a fan named Ji-Min. She had a lot of really nice things to say, but she also asked 'When are we going to get a fandom name and official colors?'. I told her that as soon as we knew, we'd let you know. And now we know! Our fandom name is: Ki-Ling!" All the members joined in to say the fandom name with her.
"That's 'Ki' as in Weki Meki and 'ling' as in darling. The Ki-Lings are the people who love Weki Meki, and who Weki Meki love. It's also a play on 'keyring' - we're the keys and you're the rings that hold us together."
"And our official colors are..."
Sei rushed in from one side, wearing a bright red shirt, calling out "Cherry tomato!"
"and..."
Lucy rushed in from the other side in a bright yellow shirt. "Vibrant yellow!"
Suyeon put her arms around Lucy and Sei's shoulders. "So we just wanted to say,
