In this episode of Kpop Lite, Lindsay and Rachel put on their design hats and take a look at 15 different K-pop lightsticks — from the sleek and iconic to the “what were they going for?” We break down what makes a lightstick work, which ones are secretly genius, and where the industry could use a serious refresh. We roast gently, we praise loudly, and we end with our beautifully unserious Lightstick Awards. Join in on the fun and let us know your favorite lightsitcks! :)

Seventeen in Austin!
We’re back with a full recap of our concert experience for Seventeen in Austin Day 1. From getting ready and handing out freebies to meeting our fellow Carats (and even a K-pop Lite listener!), we break down the entire concert experience — including our thoughts on every solo stage (Seungkwan’s moving ballad, The8’s artistic masterpiece, and Mingyu and SCoups bringing the energy). Plus, the chaotic moments you won’t believe happened (Mingyu taking a shot from a fan), our favorite performances, our dance move attempt to get noticed, and our thoughts on what’s next for Seventeen as more members head to the military.

Together Again & Ready for Seventeen
Kpop Lite! is back in person! This week, we’re heading to the Seventeen concert in Austin. But first, we’re diving into P1Harmony and BamBam’s comebacks, our thoughts on the new CxM album by Seventeen’s Scoups and Mingyu, and some wild Spotify listener stats that have us questioning reality (the fictional group Huntrix is the most listened to kpop artist in the world?!). We also get into our Seventeen concert prep — how we’re feeling, what we’re expecting, and what we’re wearing.
We’re back, besties — and we’ve got a lot to catch up on. From Cortis’ debut to BamBam’s flawless new single, JUNNY’s latest album, and Haechan’s solo release, we’re talking about everything we’ve been listening to lately.Plus, we’re gearing up for the upcoming Seventeen concert: dream setlists, members we’ll miss, and why we need to hear “HOT” live. We also chat about the upcoming S.Coups & Mingyu album, our dream of seeing Seventeen walk through the spirit tunnel on Jennifer Hudson, and the world of kpop military performances.
