Get you an artist that advocates for inclusivity and gets his fans’ needs. JK.
On July 25, 2022, South Korean rapper and talented record producer B.I unveiled the design for his fandom’s (ID) official light stick, which is called ‘BinBong’. The light stick is named after B.I himself, whose real name is Kim Han-bin, and it is clear that the light stick is inspired from Disney-Pixar’s “Inside Out” character “Bing Bong”, who is Riley’s imaginary friend. B.I is known for being a fan of the beloved character, which is why fans deduced the light stick design to be inspired after it.
While this is all wholesome and soft content for the fans, it recently went viral for a seemingly NSFW reason all thanks to one fan that pointed it out. In a now viral TikTok video, an ID pointed out that a new “vibration mode” has been added to the ‘Bin Bong’ application, along with a screenshot seemingly confirming it.
While yes, this was truly intended for IDs that were visually impaired for them to cheer along with fans in their own way, other IDs had other things in mind.
Yeah, you already know where we’re going with this.

Sorry to spoil in on the fun but, the Tweet was an edit. We were aware that this Tweet and whole vibration thing was an edit.
Though kidding aside, yes, stan B.I for being so talented and everything else in between. Go stream his newest EP, “Love or Loved, Pt. 1”.
