In case you are new here, I love K-Pop, so I have a couple of lightsticks in my collections of the artists that I love. If you are new to the K-Pop world and have no idea what I am talking about, here is what you need to know.

What is a Lightstick?

A lightstick is a glowing electronic stick or bracelet. It is a way for fans to unite and support their favorite K-Pop group.

Where did it come from?:

The lightstick originated with the K-Pop group BigBang. They were the first group to have an official lightstick. G-Dragon (one of BigBang’s members) designed theirs in 2006 for V.I.P (their fandom). Since then, it has been hard to find a group that doesn’t have one.

I can’t remember the order I purchased them in so I am just going to list them all in no particular order. Other than BigBang will be first because they created the lightstick!

There are still so MANY I would love to own but they cost money and I try to only purchase one when I have extra cash on hand.
