ARMY did exactly what ARMY does best when Weverse crashed during the release of the new BTS light sticks: panic, joke, spiral, and then laugh through the pain. As soon as the Official Light Stick Ver.4 dropped and Weverse began glitching under the pressure, fans flooded social media with a mix of hilarious memes, genuine concern, and an overwhelming sense of “we knew this would happen.”

Many fans joked that the crash was a rite of passage. Memes comparing Weverse to a “paper server held together by hope,” screenshots of endless loading screens, and posts declaring “I didn’t even see the checkout page” spread rapidly. Others congratulated the few who managed to secure a light stick, calling them “chosen ones” and “main characters,” while sharing their own screenshots of empty carts and error messages..

Alongside the humor was real concern, especially from fans worried about missing out ahead of BTS’s March comeback. Some expressed anxiety over whether their payments went through, while others refreshed confirmation emails for hours, unsure if their orders were successful. Still, very few seemed genuinely surprised. Veteran ARMYs reminded newer fans that nearly every major BTS merch drop follows the same chaotic pattern, especially when tours and albums are on the horizon.

In the end, the collective reaction summed up the fandom perfectly: frustrated but amused, stressed but bonded. As one fan put it, “Weverse crashing is annoying, but at least we’re all suffering together.” For ARMY, the chaos was less a shock, and more a familiar prelude to a BTS comeback season.

This is not the first time that Wevesre crashed, it crashed when the BTS world tour and album was announced and fans were trying to get the news updates, it crashed when BTS artist made collection dropped which was almost the second worse crash, it crashed during BTS Busan Yet to Come concert, it crashed during j-hope’s performance during the Chicago Lollapalooza among other moments.
