During concerts fans will flail their cellphones and light sticks as the artist(s) performs, creating an "ocean" of light from the perspective of the performer. A "black ocean" is a trend in K-pop (Korean Pop or music) where the audience turns off their light sticks and cellphones as a show of lack of support to the current group onstage. When done collectively, it appears to the performers as a "black ocean" due to the lack of lights from the audience. Usually only happens in extreme cases. Then again, "extreme" is a subjective word when it is put together with the craziness and stupidity that is the hardcore fans of K-pop.
SNSD and EXO were victims of the Black Ocean during the start of their careers.

Get the Black Ocean mug.
An awe full trend when people in a concert turn off their light sticks and or phone lights to show disapproval of the song or preformance. Some victims of this are Twice, BTS, Seventeen and more.
Twice received a black ocean when they were receiving and award.
