Recently, the topic of the above four K-Pop fourth generation girl group’s lightstick designs was brought up on an online public forum. Each of them have unique designs that have been met with more or less enthusiasm from their fans, often dependent on how well fans think the lightstick suits the group’s aesthetic.

The first lightstick shown on the post is IVE’s.

Like IVE, NMIXX went with a more traditional globe shape for their lightstick. Inside of theirs, however, features a whale with a water-like design spraying from its blowhole, along with other water-shaped details.

Finally, NewJeans’ lightstick design is the last one shared on the forum post.

Taking the name of their fandom, Tokki, which means “bunny”, the lightstick is shaped like the head of the animal itself! The “eyes” of the bunny head also appear to have customizable abilities to add on various charms and details.

Fans of the various groups have pretty strong reactions to seeing all of the designs together, with some praising one of the designs while criticizing some of the others.
