Angry fan reveals bad treatment during Aespa fan sign
In the world of K-Pop, there are many events for K-Pop fans to enjoy music, enjoy K-Pop idols, and most importantly, have fun!
While a concert requires you to sing your heart out for a few hours, fansigns allow you to meet your idols in a more relaxed atmosphere.
A surfer recently caught the eye with a post he left on Twitter.
On May 19th, this Aespa fan left a message expressing his anger towards SM Entertainment after the group received a fansign.
“What I experienced today: On the day of the fan meeting, I received an SMS saying that the event, which was supposed to start at 7am, would be delayed by 30 minutes. When I got there they didn’t start until 7:50am.
Photo time is so short and cameras weren’t allowed so I took photos with my phone. When the fansign ended I had another commitment so I tried to hurry.
But they held me back and told me to take out everything in my bag. I told them I didn’t take any pictures, but they still asked me to show them the pictures I took. Words will obviously not suffice.
So I just walked out [mon
appareil photo] and I showed them photos of other idols that I had taken. I said I had to go for another engagement and they said what engagement? show me the proof I’m sorry, aren’t fans allowed to make other commitments?
If I don’t lie, I guess I’ll have to prove I have to move fast, Keke. Are you kidding? Was it you who delayed the fan sign by an hour? Are you crazy? So I told them I was in a hurry so they could follow me to the subway station and I would show them the proof. »
After seeing this, many netizens reacted. Below the comments we can read:
