A few days ago, G-Dragon announced his very first own Light Stick, which is just as unique as he is. The announcement caught a lot of attention and the extraordinary design is delighting fans all over the world. As of today, the collector's item is also available in our shop!
G-Dragon is known for having created BigBang's Lightstick, which is considered the very first official K-Pop Light Stick ever. The stick is officially called “Bang Bong” and depicts a yellow crown. Over the years, different versions have been released, but the design always stayed the same. With the Lightstick, G-Dragon wanted to create a connection between the fans, the so-called “VIPs”, and BigBang.
It gives fans an unusual way to stand out from the crowd at concerts and gives them a sense of belonging. Especially at festivals, where fans of different artists come together, G-Dragon and BigBang can always recognize their fans this way.
G-Dragon's innovation was introduced in 2006 and set a trend that is still one of the most striking features of the K-Pop industry today. Many other artists followed his example and presented their own Lightstick. Until then, fans mainly used colorful balloons to cheer on their favorite stars. Today, it is a given that K-Pop idols sooner or later introduce a stick that fans can wave at their concerts.
After a long quiet period for G-Dragon, his solo career is slowly picking up speed again. Just a few days ago, G-Dragon released his new studio album “Übermensch”, his first solo album in 8 years! There probably couldn't be a better time for G-Dragon to create a personal Light Stick.
G-DRAGON (BIGBANG) - OFFICIAL LIGHT STICK
The Light Stick depicts a chrysanthemum that is missing one petal. It is a well-known symbol of G-Dragon, which he has used many times for his musical productions, his fashion brand “Peaceminusone” and other fan merchandise. So it is a symbol that fans also connect with a lot.
The flower glows in white as well as in various other colors. There is even a mode in which every petal has a different color!
G-DRAGON (BIGBANG) - OFFICIAL LIGHT STICK CRADLE
The “flower” concept is continued with the docking station, which you can also pre-order from us. It looks like a flower pot and can be used both as a stand and as a charging station for the Light Stick. To do this, you simply have to detach the bottom end of the stick, which holds the batteries. The Light Stick can then be placed into the flower pot instead. The pot comes with a USB-C cable to charge both it and the Light Stick. The pot itself can also light up and gives off a soft, yellow glow.
This makes the Light Stick not just a cool accessory for concerts, but also a very beautiful decorative piece for your home.
G-DRAGON (BIGBANG) - OFFICIAL MINI LIGHT KEYRING
As if the Light Stick with a flower pot wasn't cool enough, G-Dragon has also prepared a Light Stick keychain. It is a miniature version of the Light Stick that, just like its bigger counterpart, can light up in different colors. Perfect for everyone who simply can't get enough or who wants a smaller and cheaper alternative.
With this unique Light Stick, G-Dragon once again makes a statement and proves his flair for innovation and extraordinary design. Whether for concerts, as a collector's item or as a stylish decorative piece – this special accessory is a must-have for all VIPs!
Welcome to the colorful, glowing world of Lightsticks!
Every band has its own individually designed Lightstick, which in some cases is so extravagant that unsuspecting onlookers don't realize it is actually a lamp.
These extraordinary treasures are not only ideal for creating a sea of lights, also called an "Ocean", together with other fans in the dark arenas at concerts of your favorite band, but also for showing at festivals with several performing artists which band you have sworn your loyalty to. Of course, they are also great for an evening in front of the TV or simply as a stylish night light.
