It is known that the Lightstick originated from Kpop, and is an item associated with Korean artists. Items are bought by fans or given to artists during large-scale concerts.
In Vietnam, there are many artists who have released lightsticks such as Dong Nhi, Hoang Thuy Linh, Son Tung M-TP. Specially designed glow sticks help fans remember their idols, and are considered a connecting item between artists and fans.
As for Jack , he chose yellow as the main color for the glow stick. The lightstick has a simple design with a black body and a spherical light. Inside, the letter J - the first letter of the male singer's name is stylized, creating a highlight.
After Jack 's lightstick image was posted, he quickly received a lot of criticism because the stick had many similarities with the lightstick that Taeyang (BIGBANG) had just launched.
Many people commented that Jack's act of public plagiarism is unacceptable.
On the forum, the audience pointed out the similarities of the two glow stick models.
Taeyang's light stick chose yellow color, designed after the sun symbol. Jack not only copied the color, black body design, and yellow lights, but also the lightstick sales poster was almost copied from Taeyang.
In addition, the J symbol embedded in Jack's lightstick resembles former DBSK member Kim Jaejoong.
Jack sells glow sticks for 997 thousand VND/piece. This amount of money is also controversial because most of the male singer's fans are students. The amount of nearly 1 million VND for a glow stick is too high. That's why many comments left saying that the male singer is taking advantage of fans to get rich.
Furthermore, as a notorious artist, Jack's long-standing artistic activities are also controversial, releasing light sticks like A-list stars.
Before that, he was involved in a love scandal. The male singer's image lost even more points when he used Messi's image in the MV and got caught up in a plagiarism controversy.
