G-Dragon has once again proven his creativity with the release of his personal lightstick. Unlike traditional lightsticks that are typically stored away after concerts, this one is both visually striking and highly functional. The daisy-shaped light atop a flowerpot base allows it to function not just as a concert accessory but also as a mood light and charger stand, making it a piece of decor that fans can use daily. This unique concept has sparked widespread excitement, with fans praising its innovation and symbolism.
Korean netizens were quick to express their admiration, pointing out how well the design represents G-Dragon’s identity and brand philosophy. Many highlighted how most lightsticks end up as collectibles that never get used, but this one breaks that pattern by doubling as a functional home accessory.
