[★FEATURE] A Beautiful Close Ups of K-Pop Light Sticks

Fan oceans are a crucial part of any K-Pop concert - by night, they’re made of glowing light sticks and by day, colored balloons. We’ve all seen them - from TVXQ's red to FT Island's gold, to 2NE1's pink and purple. But rarely do we zoom in and take a closer look at the cleverly designed light sticks that make them up. 

Take a look at this list and pick a favourite! 

1. You think of the pink ocean, you think Girls Generation, right? Well, A Pink and male groups U-KISS & NU’EST have pink as their official colours, too! Here are two designs of the U-KISS pearl fuchsia light stick: 

NU’EST use neon pink as their fan colour and this compass lightstick, featuring the members names is unique and detailed: 

And of course, we couldn’t talk about pink lightsticks without SNSD and A Pink, could we? 

In their long careers, Girls Generation have produced lots of different light stick designs - here are some particularly lovely ones: 

2. Many artists, particularly male groups, choose a simple white ocean. It’s clean, minimal and elegant. MBLAQ choose masculine, graphic designs for their A+s: 

2PM’s light sticks are something special - check out this smoky flame, this special edition light up hairband & this transparent logo design: 

B2ST’s classic and classy white rose light stick is so beautiful, a photo doesn’t do it justice. Here’s a YouTube clip of one B2UTY showing us theirs and member Dongwoon posing elegantly with it: 

3. BigBang’s V.I.Ps,  F.T Island’s Primadonnas and B1A4’s Banas share gold as their fan colour. Warm, luxurious and bright, their light sticks are interesting: 

B1A4’s quirky zombie light stick ensures that Banas stand out from the crowd: 

4. Blue is another hugely popular colour for a fan ocean, and who’s more famous for a blue ocean than sapphire blue Super Junior?

SHINee’s light stick is pearl aqua and has an otherworldly beauty to it: 

Member Key is spotted with one: 

And BTOB also choose a blue - in a fun trumpet shape: 

5. YG Artists are fond of mixed colour oceans: 

2NE1’s Blackjacks have super cool wing/heart glow sticks that light pink and purple at once! 

And WINNER have just created something rather special for their light stick: 

6. Purple is shared by many groups, including Teen Top, Lunafly and 4Minute. Teen Top & 4Minute both have chunky 3D designs, Teen Top choosing a crown, 4Minute a diamond: 

7. For animal designs, look to Bunny.A.P and Block Bee…
