BTS ARMY Divided Over New Light Stick Ver 4 Ahead of World Tour

• HYBE unveiled the BTS Official Light Stick Ver. 4 on February 5, 2026, ahead of the group's full-group return and "ARIRANG" World Tour.
• The new ARMY Bomb features a sleek design, refined wireless control, expanded color gradations, and a dedicated app.
• Controversy arose as Ver. 3 and the Map of the Soul Special Edition (SE) light sticks will become obsolete after the Las Vegas concert on May 28, 2026.
• Starting June 12, 2026, only Version 4 will be supported for synchronized concert experiences, leading to accusations of a "money grab" from fans.
• The "ARIRANG" World Tour, spanning 34 regions and 82 shows, kicks off in April 2026, coinciding with the new album release on March 20.
