NEWBEAT drops first-ever official light stick design, pre-orders open August 31

NEWBEAT unveiled their first official light stick on August 28 via SNS—the group's first since debuting in March of last year.

The NEWBEAT OFFICIAL LIGHT STICK has a transparent triangular pyramid-shaped top cap. Inside sits a 3D NEWBEAT logo at the center, flanked by cute 3D character figures on each side. Every purchase comes with a strap and silicone band engraved with the official NEWBEAT logo. Early buyers get a limited photocard.

Pre-orders start August 31 at 2 PM through WITHMUU.

The timing is packed. NEWBEAT debuted in March of last year with their regular first album RAW AND RAD. November brought their first mini album LOUDER THAN EVER and the title track "Look So Good," which hit No. 1 across six categories on US Amazon Music. They've since completed their debut nationwide tour, performed at the K-pop concert K-WAVE INFINITY in Taiwan, and ran a full local schedule there with broadcast appearances, radio and magazine interviews, and busking. Chinese-speaking region promotions wrapped successfully as well.

Most recently, NEWBEAT won the "KM Next Potential" award at KMA 2026. Members drew attention for tearing up during their acceptance remarks.
