“I entered 213 albums worth 4,260,000 KRW total for Wanna One’s fansign and failed! Clap clap clap!! #WannaOne #FanSign #CompleteFail”
The fan has purchased 213 of Wanna One’s “0+1=1 (I PROMISE YOU)” albums just to get a chance to attend their fansign.
Even buying 213 albums was not enough to get selected to attend Wanna One’s fansign! At 20,000 KRW per album, the fan spent a total of 4.26 million KRW ($4,004 USD).
So what is it about their fansigns that everyone is going crazy over trying to attend? Could it possibly be because of Minhyun’s detailed, heart-stopping attention to his fans that everyone wants to go?

Or Kang Daniel’s irresistible smile?
Probably both, and even more! But nonetheless, as proven from this fan’s experience, it seems nearly impossible to get the golden ticket!
The post, which has been going viral, has received a wide variety of comments from fellow fans who empathize with the poster’s situation.
- “300 albums for 6,000,000 won. It’d be faster for the people who bought the albums to open an event together and invite Wanna One”
- “This is why I don’t even try. I bought 15 this time but I seriously have no chance”
- “Daniel’s fans in China have bought over 3~4,000 albums so I’m not even surprised. Good luck”
- “213 failed? Wow…”
- “Even if you pay 4,260,000 won in installments, it’s still 355,000 won per month”
The poster expressed gratitude for all the attention he/she has been receiving from the netizens and indicated that there was only one reason for the post: to let people know that buying the albums in bulk doesn’t guarantee a fansign ticket and to prevent them from biting off more than they can chew like she did!
많은 분들이 관심을 가져주셔서 감사한 마음을 가지고 있습니다😊 하지만 제가 이 글을 쓴 이유는 딱 한가지예요ㅠ팬싸가 많이 산다고 해서 백프로 되는 것도 아니니깐 저처럼 너무 무리해서 사지 마시고 탈락하시더라도 현생에 무리가기 전까지만 하셔서 다들 성덕길만 걸으시길 바라는 마음이었어요!

Meanwhile, with the influence of these massive purchases, Wanna One has maintained their rank in top album sales throughout March and sold almost 400,000 albums within the first 10 days of its release.
