GOT7 Fan-signs? YES PLEASE!
Here I will post as much information as I can about trying out for a GOT7 fan-sign since many people have been requesting information on how to attend, what are you supposed to etc. So please keep reading to find out more!
GOT7 has gained lots of interest and popularity which is great for GOT7, but worse for your pockets. Why, you make ask. Well, it is pretty simple, you need to buy more for better chances. This is how it works.
The very first place to see an announcement about a fan-sign is on the fans page itself: http://fans.jype.com/Portal They provide information on which store, where, and time to buy. Or, there is also the following major stores and their websites providing with information about up-coming fan-signs and the criteriaâŚÂ
Synnara:Â http://www.synnara.co.kr/sc/sc310Main.do
Hottracks:Â http://info.hottracks.co.kr/company/story/sign
YP Books:Â http://www.ypbooks.co.kr/event_list.yp?targetpage=branch_view

and last but not least⌠a twitter called Fandata provides also tweets about up-coming fan-signs with time, location, store, how many people enter etc.

All information is in Korean so if you donât understand very simpleâŚ
copy and paste it into Google Translate
The second thing that is the most important is understand the information given to you. Below is a screenshot from the FANS page announcing a fan-sign (during the MAD promotions).
The first line is the date and time of the fan-sign.
The second line is the address of the fan-sign location. Now of course it is in Korean, because it is in Korea, but if you really donât know you can always ask the store itself or copy and paste the address into naver maps to help you out. Usually, but not always, the store and the fan-sign is within the same area.
And the following information goes as follows:
The store where to buy the album (in this case the M2U store in Shinchon) and their telephone number to contact them.
The time frame you must buy the album within the store. You need to buy during this time or else you cannot be entered into the fan-sign. This particular fan-sign says you need to buy from October 17th (Saturday) to October 19th (Monday) until 9:00pm. The length of buying can range from a week to only three days. PLEASE! Check to see because this is important.
When you do purchase the albums, the store clerk will either give you a sheet to enter your name and phone number with your entries or a bunch of papers you need to fill out with your name and number to stuff in a box or give to the clerk. All the stores do it differently so you will see when you buy the albums on what to do.
The last two lines mean that only 100 people are selected for the fan-sign which is the normal for all GOT7 fan-signs and the date and time that the list of the people selected will be up with the link to see the list as well. You should really check it to see if you got in. If you did get in, well CONGRATULATIONS! You must bring with you your album that you will get signed as well as an ID to show the staff. All other instructions will be said by the staff inside the fan-sign regarding having a post-it with your name and no audio or video recording while you are in line and getting signs.
Question 1: How many albums do I need to buy to secure a spot?
There is no real ânumberâ to secure a spot in a fan-sign because it differs from store-to-store and the time frame for example the first fan-signs are difficult, but later on towards the end it may be easier. But, of course if you want to try you canât just buy one because that one entry will be based only on good luck. If you truly want to get in, I would say go for 50+ albums (possibly even more). I have seen girls who bought 50 - 70 albums and didnât get in for a fan-sign. It is all just a gamble and if you are willing to go for it.
Question 2: Can we pass them gifts at the fan-sign?
UPDATE!!! As of February 2016, JYPE has officially announced that any fan gifts to the members is NOT allowed!
They may only receive letters at this point.
You are allowed things like headbands or stuffed animals, things like that they can wear or hold during the fansign, but are later returned to you once the fansign is finished. STICKERS and PINS are NOT ALLOWED!
Question 3: Is priority given to official I GOT7s?
There is no priority to anyone for a fan-sign. It is just, you buy an album for an entry. The more you buy the better chances you have and all the best of luck to you!
