The fans are strongly divided.
Koreaboo
ENIPENEthe list of latest fansign winners from Yes24 it went viral with over 1.9 million views Xafter a fan pointed out that the list only contained non-Koreans. The fansign itself will be held in person in South Korea.

Wait LOL. Why are the 50 Yes24 fansign winners all foreigners? LOL. What is this…? Did they load it wrong? They did, right? LOOOOOL.
– hold on, darling
Retailers usually reward a mix of Korean and international fans, although winners would be determined by lottery. The more albums purchased increase the chances of winning. In the past, it seemed like retailers were allocating quotas to foreign fans and Korean fans to create the right mix. It seems that Yes24 has abolished it this time.
Fans have criticized the company for targeting foreign fans, particularly Chinese fans, who are known to grab seats at fansigns and concerts through resellers.
Why are you active in Korea if you hate Koreans so much? If you don’t want to see real Koreans, why debut in Korea? https://t.co/3LFBQImwWG

If you hate Korea so much, why do you let them promote in Korea…? If you hate Koreans so much, why did you debut them in Korea?

One point of contention was whether members would be able to communicate with the winners or not.

This fansign is even more special as it will be held on November 30, 2024, ENHYPEN’s 4th anniversary of their debut in Korea. This fueled even more tension.
This time they only have three fansigns because they have to do a Japan and US tour soon and that doesn’t happen, no wonder k-engenes are crazy as hell https://t.co/Pheyzk0BuI

Reactions to this were heavily divided between Korean fans and international fans. While international fans believed that the decision was simply decided through consumerist rules that higher purchases guarantee greater chances…
It’s not that you guys didn’t buy enough, you’re so mad that everyone has already retired the list by default and you still call it https://t.co/vxdKRCVP5f

Bruh, you guys are the ones who didn’t buy enough, why are you getting pissed off? Everyone knows it depends on the quantity purchased, but here you are still grumbling.

…others thought it only served to diminish the already small Korean fan base.
I believe some international engineers should know these things before attacking Korean engineers. https://t.co/tuEKz8fG7L pic.twitter.com/rPFr5hnbTy
