From Everglow to ILLIT: K-Pop groups without official lightsticks

    While many groups have official lightsticks, some have yet to release their own, leaving fans to wonder if they will ever be introduced.

    Everglow and ILLIT

    Everglow and ILLIT

    K-pop has taken the world by storm with its vibrant performances, catchy melodies, and dedicated fandoms. One signature aspect of K-pop concerts is the lightstick—unique, branded LED devices that fans wave to show their support for their favourite groups.

    Each lightstick is designed to reflect the group's identity and colours, creating a stunning visual display during performances. While many groups have official lightsticks, some, like Everglow and ILLIT, have yet to release their own, leaving fans to wonder if they will ever be introduced.

    In 2023, many of their fans, known as "LUMINA," were excited by the news that Blackswan would release lightsticks soon. While there has been no official release, many are hoping for an actual lightstick rather than just a temporary concert pen light.

    One of the well-known groups for quite some time, it’s surprising that the girls still don’t have a lightstick.
