BREAKING NEWS: Fans of K-Pop have a reason to celebrate today as Netflix announces the launch of physical lightsticks for the fictional groups HUNTR/X and The Saja Boys. This groundbreaking move marks the first time a fictional K-Pop group has released real merchandise, including highly sought-after lightsticks and accessories.

As of October 16, 2023, fans can purchase these exclusive lightsticks, each designed with unique cultural elements. HUNTR/X’s lightstick features Rumi’s iconic “Golden” swing, while The Saja Boys showcase a striking hexagonal lightstick adorned with a lion motif. This exciting release is set to create a buzz within the K-Pop community and beyond.

For just ₩49,000 KRW (approximately $35.00 USD), fans can secure a basic lightstick set that includes the lightstick itself, stylish outer packaging, a strap for easy carrying, and a cradle for display. Additionally, fans can personalize their lightsticks with norigae straps, adding a unique touch to their collectibles.

In a move to enhance the fan experience, Netflix also offers keyring charms for each group, along with a character named Derpy, available for purchase alongside the lightsticks. This pricing puts these collectibles on the more affordable side, especially when compared to other popular K-Pop lightsticks, which typically retail around ₩53,000 KRW (about $37.90 USD).

The launch of these lightsticks is a significant milestone, reflecting the growing trend of integrating fictional narratives within the K-Pop industry. Fans are already buzzing with excitement on social media, expressing their eagerness to showcase their support for both HUNTR/X and The Saja Boys at upcoming events.
