ARMY, Listen up! If you plan to go to a BTS concert, here’s where to buy BTS’ lightstick AKA an ARMY Bomb to show off your love for the members.

Bangtan Sonyeondan, better known as BTS or The Bangtan Boys, was formed in 2013 with members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. The boyband captured the heart of millions with their fanbase affectionately called ARMY, which stands for Adorable Representative MC of Youth. The K-pop group’s accomplishments catapulted them to the top of the Billboard Charts, two Grammy nominations and multiple American Music Awards and MTV Video Music Awards wins. They were also named TIME’s Entertainer of the Year 2020. In 2022, BTS released an anthology album, Proof, of their nearly decade-long career. The single from the album, “Yet to Come” promises there will be more amazing things to come ahead for BTS. The septet finished their concert in Busan for a showcase for the bid for the 2030 World Expo in October 2022, and it might be the last time that they perform together in a while since the members are enlisting in the mandatory military service.

However before they all join the military, some members have announced different performances and tours. J-Hope performed a groundbreaking headlining set at Lollapalooza in July 2022, where he was the first K-Pop act to headline the Chicago Festival. In February 2023, Suga announced his first solo tour, the Agust D Tour, which will run from April 2023 to June 2023 and will span the United States, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea and Japan. ARMYs sold out Suga tickets to the Agust D Tour before they went on general sale, but tickets can still be bought on reputable ticket sites found here.

The staple to any BTS concert or performance is an ARMY Bomb. If you’ve watched any BTS concert videos (especially the emotional “Young Forever” London Wembley performance), you’ll see a wave of lightsticks proudly waving for the seven boys. Often during shows too, they’ll ask for ARMY to do a humungous ARMY Bomb wave, which is always a pretty sight to see.

So where can you buy the BTS lightstick and ARMY Bomb in time for Suga’s concert? Read more below.

You can also buy the BTS ARMY Bomb on reputable resale sites like Amazon. By using your Amazon Prime account, you can ensure that you get your ARMY Bomb in two days.
