Not a Concert Lightstick: KIA Fans Turn Phone Lights Into a V13 Message

The scoreboard said 4–2. A separate number in a widely shared stadium-cheering post was V13. Two Korean community posters reacted to the same visual differently: one to its atmosphere and sound, the other to how the lights were made.

At 9:54 p.m. KST on October 30, Theqoo carried a post titled 'Today's incredible KIA cheering', with an image link and the author's short remark about its sound. At 10:47 p.m., a separate post linked the very same media file. Its playful title suggested centrally controlled lightsticks, but its body clarified that the V13 display was made using phone lights. These are two takes on one shared media file, not independently filmed videos.

At the observed snapshot, the first post showed 20,203 views and 264 comments; the second displayed 1,713 views and 22 comments. These are page counters, not original-video views or sentiment statistics. The later post offers an explanation for why the lights may resemble a synchronized concert-lightstick display.

Two author-level reactions were actually readable. The first remarked on the strength of the sound; the second made a lightstick-control joke before saying that phone lights formed V13. Although comment counts were visible, individual comment texts were not accessible. We therefore do not attribute uniform excitement or agreement to commenters.

V13 is shorthand for a desired 13th KIA championship, not an already achieved title. KIA used the phrase in its March 2026 'V13urn Again' home-opening promotion. A community post now associates that same message with phone lights in the postseason stands; whether the display was club-organized or spontaneous is not established.

Verified match facts: KIA scored three runs in the seventh inning and won the October 30 playoff game four in Gwangju 4–2 over Samsung, leveling the series at 2–2; the deciding game is scheduled for November 1 at 2 p.m. in Daegu (Yonhap, October 30). In a March announcement, the club defined V13 as a hope for its 13th championship. Not independently verified: the original cameraperson or filming time of the cheering clip, the authenticity of its audio, how the lights were coordinated, and the individual comments. TVING SPORTS' official game highlight is contextual footage, not independent confirmation of the phone-light scene.

The November 1 deciding game will determine which team advances. If the original videographer or club later identifies the light-display arrangement, the account of how V13 was formed can be checked more fully. Until then, it is a story of observable posts, not a certified event reconstruction.
