The ARMY Bomb Version 4 is the newest official BTS lightstick, and it costs $35.05 in the US. If you tried buying one this morning (February 9, 2026, 11:00 AM KST), you know it was wild. The first batch sold out in minutes.
Here’s why everyone’s rushing: The BTS World Tour “ARIRANG” starts in April 2026, and from June 12, 2026, in Busan, only Ver.4 will work with the concert light show. Your Ver.3 or SE will stop connecting after the May 28, 2026, Las Vegas show.
Right now, the BTS lightstick version 4 on Weverse Shop is out of stock, but they may be restocking soon.
Now let’s uncover prices around the world, where to buy safely, and how to spot fakes!
What is the BTS ARMY Bomb Version 4?
The official name is BTS Official Light Stick Ver.4, made in November 2025, just for the BTS World Tour 2026.
What makes it different from Ver.3 and SE? Better Bluetooth so it connects wirelessly at concerts, more LED color options (not just the basic seven anymore), and it works better with your phone through the Weverse app.
The concert sync feature starts in June 2026. There’s also a “Self Mode” that turns it into a mood lamp when you’re just chilling at home. The size is 9.3 x 9.3 x 21.8 cm, made from tough ABS and PC plastic.
When you open the box, you get the lightstick, a dust bag, a wrist strap, instructions, and 7 instant photos of the members. BigHit finally added something extra that fans actually wanted!
Comparison: Ver.4 vs Ver.3/SE
A lot of ARMYs bought the Special Edition during the break and now have to buy another one. It stings, especially when Weverse shipping isn’t cheap. But here’s what actually changed and whether you really need to upgrade for the 2026 tour.
| Feature | Ver.3/SE | Ver.4 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 Tour Wireless Sync | No | Yes |
| Bluetooth Connectivity | Limited | Enhanced |
| LED Color Range | 7 basic colors | Expanded spectrum |
| App Integration | Basic | Advanced (Weverse) |
| Instant Photos Included | No | 7 photos |
| Self Mode/Mood Lamp | No | Yes |
| Concert Mode 2026+ | Not supported | Full support |
| Size (cm) | Similar | 9.3 x 9.3 x 21.8 |
| Battery Type | 3x AAA | 3x AAA |
| Dust Bag & Strap | Yes | Yes |
The photos are nice, but the wireless sync is the real issue. If you’re going to any show after May 28, Ver.4 isn’t a choice anymore. Now that you know what makes Ver.4 different, let’s talk about cost.

If you’re planning to go to a BTS concert in 2026, keep in mind that ticket prices for the “ARIRANG” tour range from $75 to $1,500+, depending on your seat. So when you’re budgeting for the full experience, factor in both the ticket and the lightstick.
How to Order BTS ARMY Bomb Ver.4
Buying from the official Weverse shop is always safer, even if you have to wait. Resellers know fans panic when things sell out, and you might end up with a fake that won’t connect at the venue.
Follow these Official Purchase Steps (When Available):
Step 1: Make a Weverse Shop account with your email or social media login.
Step 2: Go to the BTS artist page and find Lightstick Ver.4 in the merch section.
Step 3: Keep checking stock because restocks happen suddenly and disappear just as fast.
Step 4: Add it to your cart right away since Weverse only lets you buy 1 per order.
Step 5: Pick international shipping if you’re not in Korea because everything ships from South Korea.
Step 6: Pay with Weverse Cash to get up to $0.35 back or use a Kakaopay/NH Nonghyup Card for February 2026 discounts.
Important: You can’t cancel once it says “Shipping Soon” or “In Transit.” Check your address twice before you confirm.
Stock Alerts & Restocks: Turn on notifications in the Weverse Shop app so you catch the next drop. Based on past releases, expect another big restock in late March or early April 2026 before the tour starts. They usually add more stock right before concerts.
BTS Lightstick: Key Buying Tips
Buying K-pop stuff means you need patience and a good eye. Fakes are everywhere, and some look real until you’re at the concert and nothing connects.
Here is how to Spot Fake ARMY Bombs
The Purple Ocean at BTS concerts is amazing, but only if your lightstick actually works. Here’s how to tell real Ver.4 from the fakes flooding websites.
- Verify certification codes: Real ones show KC: RR-1EL-BTSV401 and FCC: 2A9BA-BTSV401 on the box and bottom.
- Check the Weverse official hologram sticker: It should look 3D and change colors when you tilt it.
- Manufacturer verification: Only Elcomtec Co., Ltd (Korea) makes real ARMY Bombs, so look for that name.
- Price red flags: Anything way under $35 is almost always fake because good materials aren’t cheap.
- Packaging quality: Real boxes have smooth, shiny finishes with clear printing and labels on every side.
If you buy from someone reselling, ask for photos of the unboxing showing all the labels. Scammers sometimes put fake lightsticks in real boxes. Borahae means supporting the guys the right way, and that includes buying real merch.
What You Need to Know About BTS Lightstick
Ver.4 needs 3 AAA batteries, which don’t come in the box. Grab fresh ones before the concert because weak batteries mess up the connection.
It connects through the Weverse app for the concert sync, but download and update the app before the show. Put the batteries in the right way by checking the +/− marks inside.
Always remove batteries after use to prevent leakage and damage to internal components. Once your Weverse order says “Shipping Soon,” you can’t cancel, so make sure everything’s right before you pay.
Conclusion: The ARMY Bomb Version 4 Is Mandatory For Wireless Sync After May 2026
Ver.4 is a must-have if you’re going to any BTS show from June 12, 2026, forward because the wireless sync creates that Purple Ocean we all love.
Buy through Weverse Shop to make sure it’s real and skip the overpriced resellers. It’s sold out after this morning’s chaos, but more are coming before the Busan show. Turn on those alerts and be ready to move when they drop.
Shipping costs hurt, but being part of a sea of purple lights synced perfectly at a BTS concert? Totally worth it.
