A South Korean politician has drawn widespread attention online after purchasing an idol lightstick to join a rally opposing President Yoon Seok Yeol


Hundreds of thousands gathered across Seoul for the rallies, which began on Wednesday, K-pop fans brought their lightsticks instead of the traditional candles. Lightsticks, associated with numerous K-pop fandoms, are known for their bright, colorful lights and unique designs that represent specific groups or artists. To join this trend, politician Lee Hoon Gi shared on social media X (formerly Twitter) that he had purchased a Stray Kids' lightstick.

He explained, "This is not from the Danggeun (resale) market but it's an official merchandise bought from JYP Shop. I'm a father of two daughters. So of course, it's Stray Kids. I didn't write in the content but I know the hashtag StrayKids."


He added, "@Stray_Kids Is this what Hashtags are?"


Korean netizens and fans are loving the politician's tweet and commented:

"I was so surprised + I laughed because it was so funny."
"He tagged the artist. lol."
"Dad!!!!"
"Man, Dad! Please!"
"Dad, it's '#' not '@'!"
"He's so awesome."
"He's so cute."
"He said he went with Stray Kids because he's a dad of two daughters."
"He shouted out to Stray Kids."
"He's joining in on the fun."
