Recently, boy group XODIAC revealed the design for their first lightstick.
XODIAC debuted on April 25, 2023, with the digital single “Throw a Dice” after being promoted as the OCJ NEWBIES trainee group. The group most recently returned with their third mini-album titled Phantom Fire.
Ahead of several live performances, the group shared a list of MDs, including a lightstick. The group previously released another version of the lightstick featuring an X, a design that continued through with this new lightstick, with a few differences.
After the reveal, some discussed how the lightstick resembled the Star of David, a symbol that has grown to be the most recognized emblem of Jewish people. It is also featured on the Israeli Flag.
Almost immediately after, the video featuring the new lightstick was made private, and JACSO Entertainment released a statement addressing concerns over the lightstick.
