ATEEZ’s lightstick is called LIGHTINY, which is a combination of the words “light” and “destiny,” connecting the group’s name with their fanbase, ATINY. This lightstick is special because it represents the bond between ATEEZ and their fans, symbolizing their shared destiny.
The original LIGHTINY was designed with a globe shape featuring a map of the world and an hourglass inside, which made it very unique and recognizable. Recently, ATEEZ released a new version of the LIGHTINY, known as LIGHTINY Ver.2, which was introduced on September 13, 2023. This new version includes features like a motion sensor that responds to movement, customizable parts, and an LED Aurora mode, making it interactive and fun for fans during concerts.
Some fans like the new design because it is sleek and modern, while others prefer the original version, which they find more distinctive and memorable. The new LIGHTINY Ver.2 has also raised some safety concerns due to its detachable parts, but overall, it remains a significant part of the ATEEZ fan experience.
The LIGHTINY has been popular among fans, with over 6,500 units sold, and its design has been a topic of discussion among K-Pop enthusiasts. Despite mixed reactions, the LIGHTINY remains an important symbol of unity and enthusiasm for ATINYs worldwide.
