Fansign Experience
Some international fans shared their experience attending fansign events in South Korea. They shared information from the fansign announcement, came early for the first-come-first-served type, took pictures with their favorite idols, and gave them gifts. As for the lottery-based events, they shared information about the form after purchasing CDs at the designated store, and photos of the pages where the idols were signed at. Those fans proved that international fans can participate in fansigning events.
Goodies You Will Get from The Event
At the event, you will have a minute or two of interactions with each member. Each member will only sign one page of your album, so be careful when you pick which page you want them to sign. Many fans write letters to their idols, while others bring them gifts. Some idols don’t keep fan gifts (TWICE, for example), but most will at least play with them and wear hats/headbands for photos. Depending on the artist, sometimes they also let you stick post-its with questions in them and artists will answer them during the fansign. Make sure to read the rules carefully before attending the real event.
Here are some signed album pages from the fansign events:
