    “Aren’t you ashamed?!”

    Koreaboo

    4 minutes ago

    Lightsticks are a huge part of K-Pop, allowing fans to show love for their favorite groups and reflect the identity of the idols and fandom.

    Here Are The TOP 50 Best K-Pop Lightsticks Ever, According To Fans

    Despite being branded as a global group, KATSEYE sparked surprise after announcing that they were going to bring out a lightstick.

    to our amazing EYEKONS —thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! your constant love and support
    The members of KATSEYE | @katseyeworld/Instagram

    On July 11 (KST), KATSEYE announced the new design for their lightstick through social media.

    EYEKONS, get ready to make a scene with the KATSEYE Official Light Stick 🌐✨

    Some netizens hit back at the “basic” design.

    another basic ass white dome light stick please get more creative hybe https://t.co/OCabqSrwm5 pic.twitter.com/II3GyjXojJ

    Yet, the criticism was directed at the fact that fans of Stray Kids accused HYBE of plagiarism after pointing out the similarities to the JYP group’s lightstick with the design.

    [Video could not be displayed]

    Fans shared side-by-side comparisons of the two lightsticks and hit back at how much they looked alike, especially considering that while the Stray Kids’ design has developed, the core of the aesthetics has stayed true to the group.

    what in the stray kids https://t.co/42YvTDRlG1

    THIS IS LITERALLY BLATANT COPYING. aren’t u ashamed? come up with something of ur own, after all. there are so many ways to play a star in a lightstick, but u chose an option that is a complete carbon copy of something that already exists?! https://t.co/x99jEqbTs4 pic.twitter.com/5bPnIiF1hE

    — 🌊клизма? клизму жопа не хочет (@stayhoooi) July 11, 2025

    ok but be original https://t.co/WmebUWjjkf pic.twitter.com/sONIm8hJWb

    — loveforhyunjin 🇨🇱 (@catasstay) July 11, 2025

    KATSEYE fans tried to defend the design, saying it was just the group’s OG logo.

    why ppl in the quotes are mad?? lightstick design is literally same with katseye logo!!? and its their logo since day1 please 🫩 https://t.co/EuXLxP3nfz pic.twitter.com/tfUP3Jutmp

    Lightsticks are a core part of a group’s identity, so the similarities have sparked anger.
