IVE Official Lightstick Ver. 2

IVE's second official lightstick came out in late 2025. Find genuine stock below.

Updated . Edited by: Ilyass Ben Hakim.

Where to buy

K-pop shops, Starship's official store and big marketplaces carry it. Resale listings appear once first stock sells out.

Professional insight

K-pop merch sellers check the box seal, sticker and app pairing first. Fakes often fail one of these.

  • Ask for a photo of the sealed outer box.
  • Look for the Starship Entertainment logo and official sticker.
  • Fakes often skip Bluetooth pairing with the IVE app.
  • Ver. 1 and Ver. 2 look different, so compare photos.
