The fans feel betrayed.
koreaboo
Group of girls Aespa has long since wrapped up promotions for “Armageddon,” but some fans have yet to receive their support benefits. Winning fans who entered a lottery by purchasing the album in June 2024 were promised a fansign to be scheduled for a later date. Although it’s already September 2024, it seems like they’ve been waiting for almost three months.
What made matters worse was that on September 4, 2024, it was announced that the in-person fansign would be changed to a video call fansign due to the girls’ busy schedules. A tweet about X from a shocked fan quickly went viral with over 400,000 views.
Hello. This is Everline. This is about the aespa in-person fansign event for Armageddon, with the drawing period set for June 7-9, 2024. Due to unfortunate changes in the artist schedule, the in-person fansign will be changed to a video call fansign. We apologize to the fans who have been waiting a long time for the in-person fansign, and hope you fully understand the change in event format.
— Always in line
Netizens who heard about the situation were equally shocked by the sudden change. Since an in-person fansign was promised before fans entered the lottery, netizens called this a “fraud” due to the change in promised rewards.
- Shouldn’t they offer refunds?
- Is this really possible? Crazy.
- A scam.
- How about a refund option?
- What? Bullshit. Offer refunds.
- Huh? They should refund.
- In-person calls and video calls are completely different things.
At this time, there is no refund option available through the retailer. Evergreen line. SM Entertainment Neither has released separate statements.
