BLACKPINK's comeback would be a significant show-stopper if possible, and this unreleased merch is terrific. Typically, fandoms spend on merchandise associated with their K-pop idols. Lightsticks, for example, are one of the stuff that is sold among followers, primarily for concert use. A cool BLACKPINK fanlight surfaced on the internet recently.
The said item caught the attention of the netizen as it is something that looks unusual for the mentioned object. It's design is of a pink gun that gleams. What makes it more interesting is the logo of the girl group is embossed on the said object.
With this, BLINKs wondered about its release date in the market. As it is known that the fandom has been waiting for the girls' comeback, and if this originally designed lightstick is available soon, admittedly, it would be a hit. However, the maker of the HEART GUN had to burst the bubble of the fans.
On her Instagram, she has to clear a thing that is already circulating on the internet. "Guys, that's not official BP merch. It's just a work I made when I was a student. I am sorry," she said. She added, "I'm not a stylist. I'm just a merch designer."
The said merch designer, under her instagram account @ok_0k_, is So Young Kim who is now a YG Designer. She said in one of her posts that she used to dream about BLACKPINK wearing pretty dresses and holding guns.
"When I was a student, I used to design Merch and I'd imagine BLACKPINK wearing them and holding guns. Now that I've achieved my dreams of working at YG, I'm Thankful that all of you are loving my designs. Even though it was made 2 years ago," she explained.
She also mentioned that she is currently working with YG as a merchandise designer, and it is some sort of a wish coming true. With her magnificent creation, a lot of BLINKs sent their words of appreciation to the comment section. Here are some of their reactions.
"This lightstick is EVERYTHING, I'm so in love! I wish it was the official one."
"I wish it was BLACKPINK's official lightstick! So creative and cool, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!"
"I'm sure you have a very bright future ahead of you in merch design."
"Incredible! Better than the original, congratulations! I really loved it and it's so amazing. You're a really smart student."
On her Instagram account, she also shared some of her designs for other YG groups such as WINNER and iKON. For So Young Kim, she desired to work for the K-pop agency and it became a reality. Not everyone will be given such an opportunity to create a lightstick for the sensational BLACKPINK.
