Things You Can’t Do at Red Velvet Fansign.
- You cannot pass him letters or gifts. They collect it via a box before the event.
- You can’t take a script with you. Even if you write it on the palm of your hand, they will erase it with an alcohol swab.
- Even though it is a private fansign, it is not possible to film inside the arena. They don’t even let you use phones, so you basically have to meditate for two hours.
- Fansign elements are not allowed. Even though the members want it, the manager runs out and shouts at them to stop. So the members apologize [to fans].
- Only during photo time can you use your phone to film. DSLRs are prohibited.
- No registration allowed. They search your body when you come up.
- You can’t go to the bathroom. Once you enter, you can’t leave. Once you leave you will no longer be able to enter. You have to keep it inside. However, this differs from retailer to retailer. Some places let you.
- When writing post-it notes during group fansigns, you cannot use their nicknames. You can only use their stage names. If you include a heart, they ask you to rewrite it without it.
- At the end of the event, you will not be able to leave until the artists have left the venue. This is to prevent you from saying goodbye to them.
- You really only have to get on with yourself, you can’t bring photo cards to sign and stuff like that. Even though the members say to bring it next time, the manager tells you it’s not allowed.
Manager, what are you guys? Save Luvies rights.
