LIGHTSUM is a K-Pop group under Cube Entertainment, debuting in 2021 with a Bright Pop Energetics identity that anchors their appeal in youthful, accessible energy. Signature tracks "24hrs," "Obsessed," and "Nani" have supported over 110K physical records sold across their career, with an emerging and enthusiastic fanbase concentrated primarily in South Korea and extending into Japan, Indonesia, and Thailand. An active brand deal with ACLENT signals existing commercial viability, and their clean, controversy-free public image makes them a low-risk fit for general-market campaigns.

With a 0.7M-strong global fandom, its deepest reach in South Korea, LIGHTSUM gives partners a defined audience to activate rather than broad, unfocused reach.
