Although K-Pop fan sign events play a huge role in the culture, they continue to spark controversy and debate among fans.
Recently, the winner list for GOT7 Jinyoung‘s fan sign event was posted online.
“Park Jinyoung Offline Fan Sign Event Winners
Event date: May 16, 2026.”
However, this drew much criticism online after fans discovered that all 30 winners were foreigners.
Meanwhile, K-netizens expressed a divided response to the matter.

- “It’s been like this since COVID-19, having more than half of the winners being foreigners…I’ve seen several teams like this.”
- “It can’t be helped since they line them up based on how much they spent.”
- “I’m a debut fan, and they’ve always had a big international fandom.”
- “No Koreans at a Korean singer’s fan sign event and having Koreans at the way back at Korean concerts…is this right?”
- “I guess things have changed…back in my day, they only chose % foreigners.”
- “I hate this…they are just telling all Korean fans to f*ck off.”
