After what seems like an eternity, NU’EST is finally going to open official Fanclub registration via Interpark! While their 1st registration was opened to international fans, this time, the registration is made even easier for overseas fans on the full English-ready, Interpark interface. The month-long registration starts tomorrow at 8PM KST, so get ready to sign up.

Anyone can join the Fanclub, whether they have a Fancafe membership or not. More importantly, joining the Fanclub means you get an automatic upgrade to the Fancafe! Without further ado, read on to find out more information - we ask L.O.V.Es to read all of the following carefully before reaching out to us if you have any questions! 

The difference between a Fancafe and a Fanclub is, the fancafe is free and acts like a forum for the L.O.V.Es fandom and for L.O.V.Es to leave messages to the boys; the Fanclub is a paid membership with upgraded perks, such as membership cards and goods and priority ticket sales and filming queues. It is to note that most of the membership perks require you to be in Korea to enjoy, so do take that in consideration before purchasing.

Registration Period: 8 Sep (8PM) to 30 Sep (11:59PM) Membership period: 1 Oct onwards Deliver dates: tba Fee: 25,000 KRW (without shipping*) *shipping fees are expected to reach anywhere from 20,000 KRW - 45,000 KRW for overseas fans, so please take note!

Other FAQ/Tips

There is no limited number of registrations, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to get a member. Do sign up early before you forgot, or in case you need help and can ask around.

Everything on Interpark is accessible in English, Mandarin or Japanese, so there’s no worries or tutorials needed. 

Do sign up for a Daum account (tutorial is not updated, but majority of it is still the same) and subsequently the NU’EST Fancafe so you can enjoy automatic upgrade if you haven’t leveled up. If you have leveled up to ‘Regular Member’, do follow this step so you can be further upgraded to access the  ‘L.O.Λ.E ZONE’ After purchase of the ticket, follow these steps: Go to ‘My ticket’ > 'Enter/modify my details’ > 'Enter your detail’ > Scroll down and click 'Enter/modify my details’  > a pop-up will appear. Fill in your Daum ID (please note, it’s the general Daum ID, not your individual Fancafe ID, aka what you use to log into Daum.)

In the case you need to change your address email etc, make sure to do it within the month before registration closes.

After promises of revamping the NU’EST Fancafe a few weeks back, with Pledis officially taking over part of the management for the Fancafe*, a series of new notices has been released just earlier today. 

*previously, it is run mostly by volunteers who work closely with Pledis staff, as seen in the difference in their username. ‘Pledis’ username is only used by official staff members, while ‘staff_name’ is used by volunteers manning the boards. Volunteers will still be recruited to help run the Fancafe, but Pledis will take a larger part in the running of Fancafe. This change can help to get rid of the red tape and delays in reflecting fancafe forms from fans to volunteers to Pledis, and then from Pledis back to volunteers to fans

First up on the important changes is the fact that all Fancafe posted contents are no longer allowed to be removed from the Fancafe onto public platforms. As the Fancafe is a special space for L.O.V.Es and the boys, they hope to keep all content within the community. Members found leaking content will have their levels demoted.

Secondly, it is emphasized that no other artistes are allowed to be mentioned in the NU’EST Fancafe. The Fancafe only allows postings of its five members, JR, Aron, Baekho, Minhyun and Ren. In the occurrence of posting about Minhyun, please note not to mention his currently active group Wanna One and their members. This rule is standard across all Fancafes. (Likewise, in the Wanna One fancafe, mentions of NU’EST is not allowed either.)

Thirdly, Pledis has opened up recruitment for Fancafe supporter once again. As the previous group has voluntarily stepped down from their positions in light of some heated discussion, despite Pledis’ official stance that no abuse of power have been perceived. This is why the Fancafe have been slow in the last few weeks, as the original supporter group have completed the handover process and level up applications before their departure. After the hiring of new supporters, it is very likely that we will see more events and re-opening of the level-up forms once again.

Lastly, some new boards have been added as old ones are removed. The ‘10s’ and ‘20s-30s’ board have since been removed, while official membership subboard ‘L.O.Λ.E ZONE ♥’ has a full upgrade into a whole board of its own. The cheer sections have been merged into one as ‘NU’EST CHEER’, omitting the smaller, individual cheer subboards. The foreigner boards remain intact for international fans to post, and will still be the only board where non-Korean are allowed to be written.

Just a few hours ago, member Aron released a new video trailer titled ‘Kwak PD No Name Cam’, where he talked about NU’EST’s latest updates, and how he was learning about video editing for a while. However, the member shared that he has been having a problem finding a suitable name for his project, and after rejecting his own ideas of ‘Aron Aron Cam’ and ‘NU’EST News With Aron’, he’s now asking fans for help with naming his segment!

The NU’EST Fancafe has now opened a new bulletin board titled ‘곽PD No Name Cam 이벤트’, where they are accepting suggestions of cool and witty names to title his videos!

Just head on over and follow the format as listed, noting your nickname, name, contact details and suggestions, as well as any additional information and reasons. Please remember to lock your posts so they’re posted privately. 

This event runs from now to 4th Feb (2359 hours), so hurry and send in your ideas if any! While duplicated applications are allowed, please be courteous and do not spam the message board. 

Have you watched the first video? What do you think?

The LOVE Search Event is a special event organized by the NU’EST Fancafe team for all Fancafe members to have fun and unlock exclusive content. Please respect the team and other members and follow the rules accordingly. While we understand that some LOVEs would like to share their items with other LOVEs that were unable to level up in the Fancafe before the event, please do not do so via public platforms. 

The rules are in place to maximize the exclusive engagement between the boys and the Fancafe members - there are more chances in the future even if you sit out on this, or haven’t been able to level up in time during this event period. However, breaking the rules and ruining the game experience will merely reduce the odds of them ever holding such events in the future. Because of one fan’s actions, the other players who earned their rights to the exclusive content are now suffering the consequences.

Furthermore, the event deadline has been extended and the event is currently ongoing. As Minhyun mentioned previously in his LOVE Letter post about his concerns for getting fans’ participation, sharing of these content would only reduce participation, and defeating the whole purpose of this event - to boost Fancafe activity. The staff put in hard work and effort to create this for us, please at least acknowledge it by adhering to the rules.
