I don't want to take sides or be biased (I actually love both Highlight and SungWoon) but I don't find them similar to the point to be called plagiarized. Sure some artists have very distinctive lightsticks but there are a lot of round simple ones too, aren't there?
I personally think that they both have their unique concept that match each one of them.

Ugh, please don't phrase titles about such issues misunderstanding like that. Sungwoon probably had nothing to do with the design of the merchandise, IF it is a serious case of plagiarism (which this clearly isn't!!) then it's the company's fault, not the artists. And this title really sounds like it is and like he did everything by himself.

(i don't want to be nitpicking or anything, I just thought it should be pointed out! 😆)

I bet he isn't even aware of Highlight's merchandise.
