Seventeen Caratbong

 If you are new to K-pop, you’re probably wondering about what fans usually bring to concerts. A lightstick is a light with a stick that represents the group and has different sizes, colors, and designs. Some groups have different versions to improve the quality and add new features to the item. In this blog, we will talk about the K-pop boy group Seventeen's new lightstick version, Carat Bong version 3. Seventeen's Lightstick already has three versions, the third of which was released on March 3, 2023.

The latest version of the Carat Bong has new design and features. First, its handle is colored in a holographic way. Second, you may add a deco ring set; it's a ring that goes in the shaft with the names of the members, or you may also decorate the dome with island crowns, gems, etc. by removing the transparent sphere and handle. Lastly, the lightstick's LED lights come in six colors and four different modes—long blink, blink, flicker, and shaking mode. Additionally, it includes a Bluetooth feature that allows you to pair it with your phone and use it to sync with music when at a concert.

When we were able to hold one ourselves, it gave us this idea—much more of a symbol. Seventeen made us realize that we had a creative side by decorating the lightstick. We believe that this is more than just a device for the fans; it is also a piece of their heart that is engraved, showing their continuous and genuine support.

Seventeen provided their loyal fans with a new way to use their signature lightsticks as a “portable flashlight." Someone shared that the leader of the group, Seungcheol, requested the version 2 of the lightstick to make it brighter so that their fans could use it for safety purposes after the concert. Indeed, a carat used it as a flashlight to locate her location so that the rescuers would find her in the dark. This happened in July 2021 when the province of Henan, China, experienced a flood.

Considering that most lightsticks cost a very pricey deal, with this unexpected yet handy feature on the table, it could be very well worth it, can be used in emergencies, and might even save a life.
