This Is Why Fans Are Upset With Aespa After Recent Fansign Event!
Fans express frustration over mistreatment by staff during recent fan sign event.
K-pop girl group Aespa’s recent fan event faces heavy criticism from disappointed fans. MYs, Aespa’s fans, who attended their recent fansign, complained about the short duration of the event and the overall experience. A post about this event is currently going viral on Pann, a Korean discussion platform, where it was revealed that Aespa’s fansign was reportedly wrapped up in just an hour.
What Happened At Aespa’s Recent Fansign Event
The post currently has 26,000 views online and explains what transpired during the event. Fans stated that, despite spending a considerable amount on tickets, they were hurried through their turn when it was time to meet the Aespa members. Some even reported that staff had rudely interrupted them while they were speaking to the girls.
Aside from this, fans also complained about the restrictions on the things they can bring inside the venue. Fans are known to bring multiple gifts, props and outfits to Korean fansign events for their favourite idols. The K-pop idol then receives these gifts and gets pictures taken with them.

However, Mys report that all the props and gifts were packed up mid-event, and fans did not get enough time for pictures or interactions.
“They were rushing people through in less than a minute, even yelling at them to move on quickly,” the post read. “What’s worse is that they were cutting fans off mid-conversation, even while Aespa members were still talking. It was ridiculous,” said one attendee in the post.

The poster further criticised SM Entertainment, saying, “From start to finish, including the photo time, the whole thing lasted exactly 57 minutes. And they squeezed in two fan signings that day. Do they even realise how much we’re spending?”
K-pop fans are known to be incredibly hard to get into. Attendees are usually hand-picked by the companies through a draw of people who have brought a lot of albums, hence getting into the events is very expensive. This is the reason why so many Aespa fans are disappointed with the group’s company, SM Entertainment and their staff.
