K-Pop’s Next Power Move: LIGHTSUM’s Sangah & Chowon Ignite Y2K Trends with OHTNYC! ✨
In a landscape where brand synergy dictates market trends, K-Pop idols continue to prove their unparalleled influence. This week, we’re tracking a significant move in the fashion and entertainment sectors as LIGHTSUM’s Sangah and Chowon have been officially tapped as the newest faces for jewelry and fashion brand OHTNYC, signaling a strategic partnership poised to redefine Y2K aesthetics.
The highly anticipated jewelry lookbook, featuring Sangah and Chowon, made its debut on January 2nd and 4th across OHTNYC’s official SNS channels. The duo effortlessly projected a powerful presence, showcasing sophisticated jewelry styling that embraced a distinct Y2K sensibility. Their wardrobe choices, including trendy tank tops paired with washed denim pants, were perfectly accessorized with eye-catching pieces like **shining star-shaped supernova necklaces and earrings**, alongside a unique **cube dice necklace**. Completing the edgy aesthetic, rough leather outfits combined with their rebellious gaze solidified a truly impactful visual.

Interestingly, Sangah and Chowon were not merely models; they actively participated in the design process of this collection. This collaboration is particularly notable for how they visually translated LIGHTSUM’s core message – “delivering hope to everyone with bright energy” – through specific design elements such as **crystals and star pendants**. This level of creative involvement elevates the partnership beyond a typical endorsement, embedding their artistic identity directly into the product.
This high-profile modeling gig arrives just as Sangah, Chowon, and Juhyeon are set to make a significant splash as a LIGHTSUM unit, with a **digital single release slated for January**. The excitement surrounding their unit activities is further fueled by their previous success, notably their explosive vocal performance and intricate expressiveness showcased in the cover video for **”Golden,”** an OST from the Netflix animated film **”K-Pop Demon Hunters.”** Their multifaceted talents, now extending into fashion design, undoubtedly amplify expectations for their upcoming musical endeavors.

This collaboration exemplifies smart brand strategy, leveraging idol authenticity and market trends with their active design participation. The synergy promises a strong commercial and artistic impact for both LIGHTSUM and OHTNYC.
