HYBE has officially unveiled the BTS Official Light Stick Ver. 4, also known as the newest ARMY Bomb, ahead of BTS’s highly anticipated 2026 world tour, instantly sending waves of excitement across the global ARMY fandom. The announcement was made through Weverse and accompanied by a sleek promotional video that highlights both the upgraded design and the advanced technology packed into the new version.

The ARMY Bomb Ver. 4 features a refined and modern look, with a transparent globe housing the BTS logo, a matte black handle detailed with ARMY lettering, and a striking red activation button. Compared to previous versions, this edition focuses heavily on smoother visuals and enhanced concert immersion. The light effects are more fluid, the colors are expanded, and the overall syncing experience has been upgraded to create a more unified atmosphere during live performances. HYBE has also introduced new app-based features, including venue maps, improved pairing systems, and interactive functions such as shake-to-change colors, allowing fans to engage with the light stick even outside concert settings.

One of the biggest talking points surrounding the launch is its compatibility policy. While older light stick versions will continue to work at select concerts for a limited time, full wireless synchronization at BTS concerts will eventually be exclusive to Ver. 4. This decision has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Many are thrilled about the technological leap and see it as a symbol of BTS entering a new era, while others have expressed frustration, especially those who recently purchased earlier versions and now feel pressured to upgrade.

Sales for the BTS Official Light Stick Ver. 4 have already begun through Weverse Shop, with strong demand reported worldwide. As BTS prepares for their long-awaited return to the global stage, the new ARMY Bomb stands as more than just concert merchandise—it represents reunion, unity, and the start of a powerful new chapter between BTS and their fans. Whether met with excitement or debate, Ver. 4 has undeniably become one of the most talked-about K-pop merchandise releases of the year.
