Aside from the usual pieces, netizens noticed something about the lightstick that was being sold. The group doesn’t have an official lightstick, but many tend to create special ones for concerts, and the Japan merchandise seemed to be one.
When the photo was posted, it quickly went viral as one netizen described it as looking like a tampon, adding, “I’m just going to take a tampon and wave it around. They look exactly the same anyway.”
