With many fans coming to support the idols, groups prepared special gifts for their fans. From handwritten letters, snacks, desserts, gift cards, and more, fans were showered with love from their idols.
However, an online community board garnered much attention as they chose the group with the worst gifts for the fans.
“The team that had the worst gifts for the 2024 ISAC.
WOOAH
Breakfast X
Lunch O
Snacks X
Dinner X
(there was no dinner so the agency told fans to take care of their meals themselves).”
“The team that had the worst gifts for the 2024 ISAC.
Reporting the agency that ignores the human rights of fans.
They gave out one meal during the ten hours (provided a sandwich set), got caught reusing photo cards, and didn’t provide dinner (told fans to go out and take care of eating themselves, but weren’t able to re-enter once they left. They didn’t provide anything else.”
To this, member Wooyeon left a message to fans apologizing for the incident.
I’m so sorry and sad that we couldn’t prepare much, as this was our first time attending ‘ISAC.’ Thank you to everyone who came to support us. Thanks to you guys, we’ve created more good memories.
— Wooyeon
In response, fans were furious that a member had to apologize for something that should be taken care of by the agency.

Members are apologizing when the company should be the one to.
회사가 돈이 없어서 그런 거 같은데
왜 회사가 돈 없는 걸 멤버가 사과함?
ㅈㄴ 얼탱없음 여간 회사만 싫름 https://t.co/tjuTFdTYdd— OpO (@hoxy_sigor) August 6, 2024
I think it’s because the company has no money, but why does the member have to apologize for the company not having enough money? So ridiculous. I really hate the company.
이럴때 회사가 욕먹어야 하는데 ㅉㅉ 누구는 지가 잘못했놓고 지가 욕먹는 대신에 회사가 욕먹고 누구는 회사가 잘못했는데 그회사 아이돌 멤버가 대신 사과하고 ㅉㅉ https://t.co/bCtEXUEKef

The company should be the ones criticized. Some people that should be apologizing have their agency apologize instead and some people that haven’t done anything wrong are apologizing instead of the agency.
On the other hand, some fans felt that they should be thankful for even receiving something and that giving gifts wasn’t mandatory.
아니 우아도 회사도 좃소에 좃망돌이라 돈이 없을 것 같은데 걍 역조공을 저렇게라도 해준거에 고마워해야하는거 아님?
저것도 ㅈㄴ 무리했을 것 같은데
팬덤도 좃병신들이노 https://t.co/UxbE6NOtOy— 정로로 (@zxxzzxo) August 7, 2024
Their company is small, so they probably don’t have a lot of money, so shouldn’t they be thankful that they even provided something? It probably took a toll on them to even prepare just that. The fandom is filled with stupid brats.
옛날에 역조공은 해주면 그 팬덤 부러워 하는 걸로 끝났고 역조공은 선택이였음..
언제부터인가 역조공이 조촐하면 해당 가수, 소속사 욕하는 걸로 변질된 것 같음.. https://t.co/JMVT6j1xAu— 류아 (@ryu_a___444) August 7, 2024
Back in the day, giving gifts was just seen as something to be jealous of, and that was it. Giving out gifts was optional. Somehow, giving out small gifts became something to be criticized about.
What are your thoughts about this?
