A moment of unexpected interaction during aespa‘s Boston concert, part of their SYNK: HYPER LINE world tour, is currently making waves across the internet. The occasion? Spotting a TWICE lightstick amidst a sea of their own.

Winter, intrigued by the distinct red light among the sea of purple (aespa’s lightstick color), queried the fans about the artist they support. Upon hearing “TWICE” as the answer, Winter warmly responded, “We love them too!”

The ambiance took a spirited turn when Ningning gracefully performed TWICE’s “TT” choreography, and Karina soon followed with a dance move from “Cheer Up.”

The episode provided a window into Aespa’s genuine warmth and camaraderie with other artists. Their welcoming response was applauded by fans and netizens who appreciated their down-to-earth demeanor.

aespa really kind and humble, they didn’t mind about the different lightsticks. I’m just saying, that’s not the case with everyone. I saw some artists got offended because of that https://t.co/QdoJsv4Z3l

Many voiced how refreshing it was to see artists acknowledge fans irrespective of the group they support, putting music and mutual admiration above competitive fandoms.

However, not everyone was on the same page. While Aespa’s reaction was overwhelmingly positive, a segment of fans voiced concerns about concert etiquette. They believed that bringing another group’s lightstick to a solo concert, especially when the group has its own, is a mark of disrespect.

even tho it's a nice interaction, see what happens when you bring another group ls to a solo con of a group that have their own ls . https://t.co/lbIZXxgV3u

They opined that being a multifandom supporter is acceptable, but there is a time and place for everything.

Idg why someone need to bring other grp lightstick. You can be multifandom but this is a bit too much https://t.co/aqhqFCpKzt

this is cute.. and aespa being such nice girlies…

though hoping na esp if you really love and support your idol, for solo concert, let's not tolerate it (esp if the goal is mapansin ka).

wouldn't u wish to see that full satisfaction in their eyes seeing their own lights? https://t.co/Ip2Mnv6PH6

This incident reignites a broader conversation about fandom culture. Lightsticks, beyond being mere tools of support, also represent the underlying layers of competition and loyalty within the K-pop world. Such instances push fans and artists alike to reflect on the essence of concerts — is it solely about undivided loyalty, or can it also be a space to celebrate music as a whole?

In the end, Aespa’s reaction is a testament to their commitment to fostering an inclusive environment, emphasizing the universality of music and the bonds it creates.
