Hi DIVE, I have been looking for the new Lightstick to pre-order. It’s sold out everywhere. Can anyone help me find it? I’m EU based but I will also buy from the USA. I don’t know why, I think the fandom is ‘weird’ (I’m a new DIVE). They are everywhere and at the same time nowhere, like real undercover fans, why is that?

I have no idea where to get the lightstick, sorry.
Regarding the fandom, it’s a little different from most groups. My theory is that there are quite a few Wonyoung and Yujin stans from their Iz*one days who buy stuff/consume content but don’t really engage, so they’re quiet.
The OT6 fandom IS very big, but many of them are school age kids in Korea/Japan who don’t really engage on social media.
Also, because Ive was so introverted at debut and so low key, they attracted a base of low key fans. We consume content and buy albums/concert tickets, but we don’t vote very well or get really loud on social media.
To answer your second question, one thing ive noticed is that there are not much success stans in the Dive fandom. Usually the loudest groups on social spaces tend to have a lot of these type of stans. Like don’t get me wrong, I love achievements and stuff but I’d imagine for most Dives accolades and awards are mainly secondary and the girls + music quality are first priority. Another reason is that IVE doesn’t particularly have noisy/loud music. So maybe that attracts a more low key fandom 🤔.
