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.

Details:

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.

We’ve received several questions about the Daum ID and confusion. Your Daum ID is the one that you use when you want to log into any Fancafe.

For eg,

Daum ID is nuestnewsletter NU’EST Fancafe username is nnlxlove

The one you will put into the blank on Interpark is nuestnewsletter

Please note that there are many fancafe communities on Daum, this includes communities to talk about hobbies (coffee, cats, pet lovers etc), gender and age (20s women discussion, 30s women) and more. Every fancafe have their own rules and username preferences. You can join several fancafe under one single Daum ID.

NU’EST Fancafe sees a surge of new members joining since four members of the team had joined Mnet’s Produce 101 Season 2. Kim Jonghyun, Kang Dongho, Hwang Minhyun, and Choi Mingi have been competing in Mnet’s ambitious survival show under their real names as Pledis trainees on this journey.

Since the program’s beginning, the four Pledis trainees have been in the spotlight as a debuted group with experience under their belt. While the boys showed their struggles in the competitive environment at the start, all four have been gaining increased attention for their personality, stage presence and visuals, especially after the release of their multicams in the Cover Mission Evaluations.

In light of their eye-catching performances throughout the program new fans have also signed up with NU’EST’s official fancafe, and a whooping jump of 28k and counting, new members have been noted since the start of the show. Just before midnight on the 17th, NU’EST Fancafe has officially broke 50k-member mark and have hit 53k at the time this article is written. This increment is definitely positive news for the fandom, and the boost of activity has allowed the fancafe to rank in the top 1st in daily support. At the moment, over 1000 members are online in the chatting room.

In related news, member Hwang Minhyun have successfully made his debut with the project boy group, WANNA ONE. Pledis has yet to unveil the plans for the other members, but given the hype of the program, audience is expecting some love calls from various opportunities opening up to them. Choi Mingi has also posted in the Fancafe with his official account, and it is likely assumed that he has returned as part of NU’EST member with his stage name, Ren.

Welcome back, and we can’t wait for more, as only better things are to come.

With so many updates, here’s a Wanna One official notice updates, including deadlines of fanclub registration, debut showcase info and ticket sales.

Wanna One official fanclub registration: deadline 9 Jul

The fanclub registration has been opened since last week, and YMC officially announced a short extension of one day. You can still purchase the fanclub membership for 20,000KRW (shipping not inclusive) on Interpark Global here. 

Please remember to add your Daum ID in the follow steps to level up automatically on their official Fancafe:

If this step is not done, you will not be able to level up automatically on the Fancafe and have to manually submit a form, which would take up extra time.

NU’EST Fancafe revealed a brand new project just three days ago for all members of their official Korean Fancafe. This event aims to boost activity on the Fancafe and friendship between L.O.V.Es during participation, and will require the usage of the NAVER mobile application.

It’s been a long while, but Sungsu oppa finally updated the fancafe! It seemed like there was little to no activity in the last few months, but fans were hyped up with this latest update, because is that a new album coming up that we see?

Original words:

[앨범을 기다리는 쟈기들] 을미년을 따라 공카 눈팅중... 다음 앨범을 많이 기다리는거 알지... 빨리 보고싶어서 쟈기들이 내 앞에 아롱아롱거리는거. 근데 하도 밍기적거려서 언제 나올지 몰라. 내가 제알 사랑하는거 알지? p.s 사장님 성수사랑 동호회가 목빠지게 기다리고있어요. 앨범 좀 내주세요ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[To my sweetheart/honey who’s been waiting for the album] Google translator exists.

With warm words such as he’s been reading the fancafe updates, the CEO didn’t forget to mention how he missed and love the fans. However, there is no explicit information on when his next album will drop, sadly, though the change in the Fancafe layout suggests that it’s soon.

Fans had since sent their hearts and words of encouragement, stating that they will wait for his return. The overwhelming response marked a total of five comments at the time this article was written.

Either way, we’re not ready for this comeback.

NU'EST's official Fancafe has now updated with an official statement for the boy's new single 'I'm Bad's release schedule.

Original Words:

안녕하세요. 뉴이스트 팬클럽 담당자입니다. 뉴이스트가 2015년 2월 27일(금) 스페셜 싱글앨범 'I'm Bad'를 발매합니다. 3월 15일 데뷔 3주년을 맞는 뉴이스트가 팬들에게 주는 이번 앨범은 2월 27일(금) 온라인 선공개 후, 3주년 기념일인 3월 15일(일)에 맞춰 한정판으로 앨범 발매도 이루어질 예정입니다.

Hello. This is NU'EST Fanclub representative. NU'EST will release special album 'I'm Bad' on 27 Feb, 2015 (Fri). This album which NU'EST had prepared for the fans in light of their 3rd year anniversary since debut on 15 Mar, will be released publicly online starting on 27 Feb (Friday), while a 3-year anniversary limited edition album is expected to be released on 15 Mar (Sun). (The member's photos (Baekho's included) and messages will be included in the album.) Because of his vocal cord surgery, Baekho-gun will not be participating in the title song. For the fans who missed his voice, Baekho-gun will be participating in the follow-up track. Please show lots of love and support for the single. Thank you.

Not much information was released about where to get the limited edition, but with the digital release creeping upon us in four days, it's time to get prepared for this special gift!
