Despite its popularity and recognition in the world of K-Pop, NCT’s bright green lightstick remains a hot topic among netizens as alleged photos of the new group lightstick have been circulating online, causing a division of opinions.
Recent images of what appears to be the updated NCT lightstick have been making the rounds, and in contrast to the previous version, it appears to have the ability to be personalized based on the subunit.
The revised version has a noticeably lighter and more transparent head, as well as a more curved stick, making it appear significantly different from the original.

Photos were shared of how the NCT DREAM lightstick could be customized. While some previews looked amazing, an original photo of the actual design appeared to be quite different. However, it may have been taken during the initial stages of the design process.
Despite doubts among netizens about the authenticity of the designs, member YangYang appeared to confirm the existence of the new lightstick in a message to fans, stating, “Oh? Our new lightstick is out?”
Public Response to Strong Netizens
Despite the initial enthusiasm for the design when it was shared on the internet, it received strong and varied responses from netizens. While the concept of personalizing the lightstick for each subunit was well-received, there were also many mixed reactions to the new design.
