The inner spender in me is ecstatic. My bank account is NOT.
Finally I’ve been waiting for this announcement. I hope they have ample supply!
The older ones aren’t going to work anymore by the time my concert happens. I’m annoyed.
Love being from a country that hasn’t seen BTS in 10 years and not having our dates until next year when you have to have the new one.
So the Ver. 3 will no longer work for concerts starting on June 12th?
Map of the Soul version no longer gonna be sold. I’m kinda sad I didn’t buy it lol but I’m looking forward to Ver. 4!
after those tickets i am not buying another lightstick lmao
1. The ad looks like it’s for a luxury car 🫦 2. Did we break weverse for a moment 😭
At this point I’m going to need to sell plasma to keep up with everything 😭😭
I knew they were going to announce a new lightstick, but I’m disappointed that concerts from Busan on won’t support the older versions! I only got to use the MOTS SE a few times 😩
I feel like I’ve told several people online they should wait to purchase a lightstick, and I’m glad I did!
Edit: For Seventeen, their current lightstick is $64 from the US Weverse and $35.05 from KR Weverse. Same for TXT. We’re probably looking at a similar price range?
Also, it looks like the cradle has a USB-C port – maybe I’ll use it as a lamp? Lololol
Poor Weverse 😆the app crashed on me immediately
Forcing everyone onto the new light stick only is pissing me off, BigHit.
Oh my god it’s so pretty!!! Aghhh the army bomb sea at the concerts are gonna look so awesome 😆!!
> – VER.3, SE, and VER.4 Support Period: Until the BTS WORLD TOUR “ARIRANG” concert in Las Vegas on May 28, 2026
> – VER.4-Only Support Period: From the Busan concert on June 12, 2026 onward
Fell down to my knees, I guess I’m going to need to get a new one.
I’m excited but also kinda annoyed that the MOTS light stick won’t work anymore… My bank account still hasn’t recovered from buying tour tickets but looks like I’ll be getting this too 😅
Does this mean we won’t be able to use the older light sticks? I’ve had v3 and the MOTS version since 2020 and was never able to use them 😭
Was expecting this, but it is too bad that older versions won’t be supported after the June concerts. Forces Army to buy another lightstick when they may not want to. I was waiting to purchase jic this happened. I hope they manufactured a huge number.
Girl I bought the last one like a year ago and it will no longer work after the Busan concerts? 😭

We knew this was coming, didn’t we? Lol it’s been a while since the last version.
I think having ARMY have a separate logo that corresponds to BTS’ is still one of their best ideas ever! The ARMY logos smattered throughout, adorable!!
I mostly like it overall but I don’t know if I like that physical logo within the dome. It makes it quite similar to other lightsticks, and I’ve always liked the ARMY bomb for its simple, minimalistic design.
Honestly pretty trash behavior to discontinue support of the older models. I hold more grace if they were dropping support for models 1 & 2. But this just feels gross, imo.
do they really expect everyone to buy the new light sticks by the time the concerts start? should have at least kept the SE compatible. it’s going to look awkward in the summer time
Granted I don’t know the support needed, but I cannot believe they’re cutting Ver 3 in their first tour back.
I love my little globe of light 🥺
The fact that light sticks basically always has an expiration date by design is the reason why I have never owned one in my 8 years of stanning. Not gonna start now, I’m perfectly happy enjoying my concerts without one 😌
i love the design but why won’t the mots version at least be supported 😭 like so many people never even got to use it🙃
Lowkey it’s a cheap shot to not support the V3, not gonna lie… I could understand not supporting earlier versions, but it somewhat feels like a cash grab to stop supporting V3.
That said, I know that one is branded with MOTS and they didn’t get to fulfill that world tour, but dang. I don’t wanna have to buy a new light stick after already buying albums, vinyls, tickets… ya know?
did you notice: It CHARGES the charger is called a CRADLE and the cradle will make the lightstick into a MOOD LIGHT we can just have on at home.
Omg
😭 I already bought the old version
please i have no more money
