The Nachimbong (나침봉) is Stray Kids's official light stick.
V0[]
The V0 was a temporary light stick, first sold with the goods of Stray Kids's showcase UNVEIL "Op. 01 : I am NOT". It is composed of the "SKZ" logo within a nonagon shape, symbolizing the nine members at the time.
It was used until the Double Knot era and the release of the official light stick.
V1[]
The V1 of the light stick was released for Stray Kids's first concert, as part of the world tour District 9 : Unlock in 2019.[1]
It is composed of a white handle with a crooked edge symbolizing "unstable way", holding up a spinnable red and silver "compass without direction" symbolizing "Stray Kids's way". The compass bears the words "You make Stray Kids stay" as a message to the fandom STAY. It comes with its own strap.
It has three different modes: Normal Mode, activated by pressing the button on the lightstick handle; Central Control Mode, used during performances; Bluetooth Control Mode, controllable via dedicated application.
V2[]
The V2 of the light stick was released ahead of Stray Kids's third fanmeeting "PILOT : FOR ★★★★★" in 2023.[2]
It is composed of a white handle holding up a red and silver compass without direction, which is fixed unlike the previous version. An OLED is mounted within the compass and it can be personnalized with various skins like the members's SKZOO characters, through the dedicated app. The lightstick is bigger than V1 and it comes with its own strap.

Trivia[]
- Lee Know coined the name "Nachimbong".[3] It is a word play with 나침반 nachimban ("compass") and 봉 bong ("rod").
- The broken compass is a recurring symbol for the group, especially in their debut storyline. It is broken because Stray Kids are their own guide to reach toward their dreams, as illustrated in the song "Mixtape#4".
