If you have ever been to a kpop concert or seen kpop concert footage online, you may have noticed beams of light shining through the performances, often moving in sync with the music. Those light sources are kpop lightsticks! Read on to find out what kpop lightsticks are, how they were created, and the most unique kpop lightsticks out there.
What are Kpop Lightsticks?
A kpop lightstick is a concert essential, a handheld light designed specifically around a group's concept for fans to hold during concerts. They represent unity and dedication within fandoms and make great collectibles. Kpop lightsticks have been a staple since BIGBANG started the trend with their Bangbong. Many now have Bluetooth features you can connect to your phone or the stadium so everyone can coordinate colors during the show.
1. BLACKPINK, BI-ping-bong
First on our list is the iconic "BI-ping-bong" from BLACKPINK. The cute lightstick looks like a toy hammer and was confirmed by the members to be inspired by the show Weekly Idol. The members also helped design it and did an amazing job!
2. iKON, KONBAT
iKON's lightstick, the KONBAT, is a baseball bat-shaped lightstick, the only one of its kind. When lit up, the red and black design stands out in the crowd, uniting iKonics.
