Recently, the band LUCY announced their light stick, triggering massive backlash online.
The light stick was shaped like a dog bone, which seemed fitting since the fandom name was WalWal (Korean onomatopoeia for a dog barking).
However, fans were furious that they didn’t listen to the fans’ requests and went ahead with this concept.
만들라는 건 안 만들고 만들지말라고 한 건 만들고 네. https://t.co/qD0rXOK6TE

You’re not making what fans wanted, and only making what fans told you not to make…
In particular, fans were in disbelief at the two holes made at the top of the light stick.
아니 무엇보다 이 고리의 존재는 뭐임?
그러니까 여기다 줄을 매달아서
목에 걸어야 하는 건 아니지? 나 진짜
참을 수가 없다 제발 와 웬일이니 https://t.co/wAUjed8p3d pic.twitter.com/cPGxXXW9xF

Above anything else, what is the point of these two holes? Do you want us to put a string through it and put it around our necks? I cannot take this anymore…what is this?
4~5년전에 공포괴담마냥 퍼져나갔던 디자인인데 이게 진짜가 됐네 https://t.co/KvJTuYapO5

The horrendous design that spread 4-5 years ago has actually become a reality…
Fans began begging everyone to boycott the light stick and not purchase one.
제발 왈왈이 합심해서 다같이 이딴거 좀 안사면 안됨? 미감부터 ㄹㅈㄷ인데 밴드한테 응원봉 필요없다고, 영원히 폰 플래시만 흔들자고 백번 말했다 진짜. 아 너무짜증나는데 https://t.co/AWbAXSipoG

Please, guys, let’s all come together and not buy this light stick. The design is horrible, and a band doesn’t need a light stick. Let’s just wave our phone lights forever. This is so annoying.
