BTS light sticks' new version divides fans: More details

BTS, members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook are reuniting to tour in 2026, bringing back their electric energy to the stage.

For the special concerts, a new version of the light sticks have been introduced, VER.4 which is said to be “an upgraded version” coming out after "5 years and 10 months" after the previous edition.

The support period of VER.3, SE, and VER.4 extends “until the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ concert” in Las Vegas on May 28, 2026.

However, VER.4 will have a support period from “the Busan concert on June 12, 2026 onwards.”

Soon after the update went viral, the online community reacted to the news with one X user calling it more than an “experience,” while another one is hoping for an improved “battery life this time around.”

A fan was disappointed as it was announced that they are “ending support for MOTS SE despite not having a full world tour using it.”

Meanwhile, many admitted that they have used the other ones “once,” calling it out to be an “absurd” move.

Where to buy BTS light stick VER.4?

The details of the sale of the light stick will be made public “in a separate Weverse Shop notice at 11 am on Friday, February 6, 2026 (KST).”
