If you are a Kpop fan, you can always read or hear about the term ocean whenever a particular group is having a concert or a performance. "Ocean" pertains to the large number of fans aka fandom that holds their fan club light sticks to create a unanimous twinkle of lights whenever a particular group in their interest is having a performance. Most well-known kpop groups with large number of fans have their own official fanclub name, fandom color, also fandom light stick design and other merchandise. Hence, when you went to a major kpop concert like "Dream Concert" a yearly event in Korea in which holds several groups performing, you should be able to immediately recognize which group are doing their act with their particular fandom color and light sticks.
