NewJeans Official Lightstick is Similar to B.A.P?
After seeing the lightstick design, some fans pointed out the similarity to the B.A.P lightstick. To be noted, the B.A.P lightstick was also shaped like a rabbit, the Matoki, the group’s mascot. However, it was green, while NewJeans’ lightstick resembles a white rabbit.
As a result, many Kpop fans joined the discussion and debated whether the two group’s lightsticks are similar.
“The only similar thing is that they are both rabbits.”

NewJeans Hanni as Gucci Brand Ambassador
In addition to the fandom name and lightstick revelation, one of NewJeans members brings fans good news. The Italian luxury brand Gucci announced that they appointed NewJeans Hanni as its new ambassador for her unique charm and style. Other Korean stars to be chosen as Gucci ambassadors are singer-songwriter-actress IU and Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae.
Hanni made her first appearance as the Italian brand’s ambassador in the Gucci’s “Cosmogonie” show at Seoul’s Gyeongbokgung Palace on November 1.
“Hanni’s take on music and fashion style truly encompasses the brand’s motif of embracing authentic individuality and self-expression.”

Hanni is a Vietnamese-Australian member of NewJeans, and speaks at least three languages: Vietnamese, English, and Korean. Her taste in fashion is simple (she loves hoodies), yet elegant. Moreover, with her visual, no wonder that Gucci appointed her as their new ambassador.
