Kpop Fan Sign Experience (4th Dec 2017) (New Addition: Gugudan, Pristin, Dia and Kard)

Welcome Back to Meet Your Idol, Kpop fansign Experience part 3! if u havent read the previous 2 parts, u can probably take a look at

http://meetyouridol.blogspot.my/2014/10/kpop-fan-sign-experience.html

http://meetyouridol.blogspot.my/2016/05/kpop-fan-sign-experience-may-2016-twice.html

Once again, i will always note that these are MUH experiences, not yours, soooooo write yours if you wanna talk about it

I will categorise the score into 4 category, which is Staff’s Strictness & Performance, Time allowed, Money Value, and Idol’s performances.

Staff’s Strictness & performance (SSP) will be how the staff doesn’t allow you to bring yr phone, slot in an extra photo card for signing, doesn’t allow you to do a lot stuff or just total freedom (1 = U can’t do anything, 5 = Reasonable, 10 = total freedom)

Time allowed (TA) will be how much time the staff allows you to spend with yr idol before rushing you to the next member and rushing u again and again. (1 = u will be rushed like they have a flight after the fansign, 5 = reasonable time given, 10 = have all the time you want)

Money Value (MV) will be how much you need to spend in order to enter the fansign depending on their fame (1 = Not famous and expensive, 5 = Famous and expensive, 10 = Famous and cheap)
And lastly, idol’s performance (IP) is how much the idols show appreciation the fans or how much the idol shows that they wanna meet you and talk to  you.

Attendance will be the times I attended their fan signs.

NEW ADDITIONS

Dia

Attendance - 10
SSP - 8
TA - 9
MV - 8
IP - 7.5

For the staff Strictness i will try to standardise it by these categories
Stand, Kneel or Seat - MBK forces the fans to stand for the fansign, no chairs will be given
Post it messages - Post it Messages is allowed with no restriction, these are good even for foreign fans as it can be hard for you all to communicate with the idols
Signing Photocard - Not allowed, but they are not strict about it

Time Allowed is Decent, the whole Fansign last about 1 hour 45 mins, if it goes longer than 2 hours, i would normally give them a 10. but they always leave it below 2 hours as they want to perform their song for the press at every fansign

Money Value for Dia is good I would say, they need on average 3-5 Albums to get in to their fansign, and that is consider cheap for these days, but their album is priced crazily expensive

The girls are also not so fun to interact with, a lot of them wont really start conversation to you and might make things awkward, but if you have things to say to them, they would happily talk to you and reply more often and thus the overall 8. Best performers are usually Hee Hyun, Yebin and Jueun.
The others, are... pretty boring at times, unless u have things to say and make them talk hahaha, some members though, totally wont talk at all.. unless... required... lol

Kard

Attendance - 1
SSP - 10
TA - 10
MV - 10
IP - 9.5

Stand, Kneel or Sit - Sit! Chairs are given for you to enjoy yr time!
Post it Message - Allowed with no restriction!
Signing Photocard - Allowed! Sign everything u want!

Time allowed is really good, though I cant remember the full timing as they don even have 100 fans attending their fansign, we were given really A LOT of time to talk to them

Kard is like really famous among the foreign fans? and guess how many albums u need to get in their fansign? ONE.. u need ONE. lol

The girls are... wait.. they have boys too.. sooo yeaaa they are really nice and friendly and would totally talk to you despite u having nothing to say, EXCEPT Jiwoo, Jiwoo was like in a different world, and she just doesnt seem like she enjoy fansigns, lol It felt like she was forced to be there. hahaha poor girl, or shall i say poor fans? lol


Gugudan

Attendance - 7 + 7
SSP - 9 > 5
TA - 10 > 7.5
MV - 7 > 7
IP - 10 > 10

Stand, Kneel or Sit - For Wonderland, we were allowed to kneel for a bit? but they changed their mind and now forces everyone to stand, at one of the fansign, the organisers arranged chairs for the fans and we were like WOW? but as soon as Jellyfish arrived, they removed it 1 by 1. lol Total disappointment
Post it Message - Allowed with no restriction for Wonderland, yayyyyy, oh f*** you we are famous now! no more post it! Totally NOT ALLOWED! hahahahah
Signing Photocard - Not allowed, Warnings will be given if you try, BAN! lol

Time Allowed was extremely good, who doesnt like a 3 hours fansign! U get to talk to them nicely and enjoy it so much u know.... wait what??? they are famous now? No? are they? What? Sejeong won number 1 u say? so Jellyfish thinks they are famous? oh? so what happen? WHAT? Fansign is now 1.5 hours? ok....

Money Value, they are one of the cheaper IOI groups out there with 10 albums-ish , Pretty reasonable as the albums are really cheap too as it was a single album.

The girls though will always be worth it, they are really nice, friendly and conversational. I cant even think of a black hole member that doesn't want to talk to you, all 9 of them will try their best to make your experience great and they really appreciate their fans, that they take effort to remember their fans. They almost always start their conversation with me, and i don't even need to prepare anything to say to them.


Pristin

Attendance - 4
SSP - 9
TA - 10
MV - 8
IP - 10

Stand Kneel or Sit - Chairs are given for you to enjoy yr time with the girls
Post it Message - Allowed with minor checking, as long as the message or question is not ridiculous, they will be ok with it
Signing Photocard - Dont think this would be allowed as they would check yr album before heading up

Fansign last about 2.5 to 3 hours. Pretty much sums up this part lol, u get PLENTY of time to talk to the girls

They too need around 10 albums to get into their fansign, Slightly more expensive than gugudan as their album is more exp. but still reasonable to me

Well definitely a 10, the girls are so nice, friendly and fun! They would talk to you if yre awkward, awesome reactions to make things fun. Totally enjoyable fansigns, even a plus for foreigners they speak english! I mean 3 of them! lol One of the best if not the best for me as they even take the effort to remember fans.

Dream Catcher

Attendance - 2
SSP - 10
TA - 10
MV - 8
IP - 9

Stand Kneel or Sit - Chairs are given for you to enjoy yr time with the girls
Post it Message - Allowed with no restriction
Signing Photocard - Not encouraged but u can try

Fansign last about 2 hours, very reasonable time to talk to the girls

3-4 albums to get into a DC fansign, pretty famous with their new concept as compared to minx and doing very well, 3-4 albums is consider cheap for these days

Sometimes they are really nice and talk a lot, sometimes they are not, a little inconsistent but overall still very good as they would keep the conversation going if you have things to say, wont be awkward unless u yrself have nth to say too. Top performers are usually Sua and Jiu.

UPDATES


WJSN

Attendance - 13 + 10(ish)
SSP - 10 > 10
TA - 10 (13)* > 10
MV - 10 > 7
IP - 10 (13)* > 10

Seat Kneel or Sit - Sit, Starship almost always gives us chairs, unless... the venue doesn't have enough chairs... 13 members. lol
Post It Message - Allowed with restrictions, only 1 question, cannot be personal question, no msg
Signing Photocard - HEY they OFFICIALLY allow u to sign certain members on certain days! BEST everrrr

Used to be 3 hours to almost 4 hours, but they have tune down a lot from the craziness, still last for 2.5 to 3 hours which is still VERY good. Definitely more than enough time, wait... its never enough it is? lol

Used to be 3-5 albums, totally cheap and worth it.. but those are the good old days, they now cost 12 albums and its full album.. means expensive albums TT, please have mercy on me

As per mentioned previously the girls are always awesome, but there are some up and downs, like some of the least performing members improved and some of the top performers don't do well now. Nevertheless, they are still perhaps the best group out there for me, with majority of the members being nice, friendly and fun, As per mentioned always, no awkward moments unless u really have nothing to say to the least performing members, most of them will always try to start conversations


April

Attendance - 3 + 10 (ish)
SSP - 10 > 10
TA - 9 > 10
MV - 7 > 6
IP - 10 > 9

Seat Kneel or Sit - Sit, chairs will always be given by DSP
Post It Message - Allowed 
Signing Photocard - Nvr tried but i think u can try? lol, they used to allow u to sign anything as long as u sign once, but seems to have changed that now

Time allowed improved compared to last time, fansigns now last 2 hours, and have reasonable time to talk to the girls

You will need 4-5 Albums to get in to their fansign, its a little expensive now but with the addition of Chaekyung, its understandable

Well the first few times i went, they were really fun and nice to talk to, but few of them gets a little less fun in the long run, they will still be nice and conversational if you talk to them a lot, if not then u may have some awkward momentsssss hahahah, Top performers for me are Jinsol and Chaekyung and they are usually the one with most to say and are really fun to talk to. Chaekyung sometimes talks too much, destroying whatever u have prepared for her Lol. Rachel despite being an English speaker doesn't talk that much, but has improved compared to last time.


CLC 

Attendance - 4 + 4 + 10 (ish)
SSP - 7 > 6 > 3 > 5
TA - 6 > 4 > 10
MV - 7 > 6 > 7
IP - 9 > 10

Seat Kneel or Sit - Stand, and DONT touch the table, though they are not so persistent now, they will still disturb you time to time. 
Post It Message - They check your albums at the start of fansigns and probably don't allow it, ive nvr tried actually. lol
Signing Photocard - They asked the members not so sign them, but they don't stop u from bringing it up lol confusing

Guyssss, they did it, Finally cube improved! Finally! Did they read muh blog and desperate rants? they finally gave us time to talk to the girls nicely, with a long fansign of 2 hours!!!

Well they are not so famous, with cube changing their concept like nobody business, they don't really have a strong fanbase, thus buying 1 album, at most 2 is enough for their fansign

Clc thou is always good to me, they are always fun and nice to talk to, always have things to say to us. Elkie and Eunbin can get awkward time to time, but they are improving slowly. With the extended time, we finally get very good time to talk to the girls and thus finally the 10 rating. Definitely worth going for their fansign as its cheap and fun! 


Sonamoo

Attendance - 1 + 6
SSP– 8 > 8
TA – 8 > 9
MV – 7 > 7
IP – 8 > 8

Seat Kneel or Sit - Stand, no chairs given and they don't allow kneeling
Post It Message - Don't quite remember this part but knowing TS they probably don allow this
Signing Photocard - Now allowed, but u can try, nvr stop u from doing it

Time allowed improved compared to last time, fansigns are slightly longer now and u get to talk longer with the girls

Sonamoo only needs 1 album for their fansign, sometimes 2 albums, so still pretty worth it

Mixture of half half, some members are better and fun to talk to, while some is boring and nth special. I don't go for them that much, and only like 2-3 members still recognise me lol. Top performers for me is Minjae, Sumin, HighD and Nahyun, with the rest lacking a little and 1 total blackhole that doesnt enjoy fansigns lol
