Discover how Carat Bong, SEVENTEEN’s official lightstick, was able to help a fan of the group during a natural disaster
Appearing in the mid-2000s after an idea from the group BIGBANG, from YG Entertainment, the light sticks that illuminate k-pop shows came to be called lightsticks and, in addition to bringing luminous colors to the audience and making the idols find their fandoms more easily at shows, awards shows and other events, one of which helped save the life of a SEVENTEEN fan.
The lightstick in question is the Carat Bong, officially launched by SEVENTEEN on February 10, 2017, and which soon became known for being one of its versions and the brightest on the market, since, according to the Koreaboo portal, S.Coups suggested that the lightstick be even more powerful and brighter than the original, in order to bring more safety to fans, as they could use the object as a flashlight after the show while on their way home.
It was through this functionality that a Carat [como são chamados os membros do fã-clube do grupo] It ended up being found during a tragedy in China, as reported by the fan herself, through the user @wonudear, on X (formerly Twitter), as explained by Koreaboo.
This is because, in 2021, the province of Henan was hit by a major flood due to extreme rains that devastated the country, mainly due to climate change. As one of the consequences of the floods, the affected neighborhoods were left without electricity, making rescue at night difficult, as with the naked eye it was difficult to find those who needed help.
Among those left stranded by the floods was the SEVENTEEN fan, who used Carat Bong to help the rescue team find her. As the light stick shined brightly, they were able to quickly locate her and take her to safety.
We are safe after the disaster, they found me as quickly as possible. Please tell S.Coups that Carat Bomb is literally shiny enough,” the tweet read.
Furthermore, another Carat also commented that, after running out of battery on her cell phone, she, who was also experiencing a blackout due to the flood, also used the Caratbong as a flashlight so that she could have a beam of light during the night.
