LE SSERAFIM’s scheduled fan signing event in Shanghai has officially been called off. On December 12, MAKESTAR, the organizer responsible for the event, announced that the fan signing and photo event planned for this weekend would no longer take place.
The event had originally been scheduled for December 14 and was intended to celebrate LE SSERAFIM’s first single album “SPAGHETTI,” offering fans an opportunity to meet the group in person.
According to MAKESTAR, the cancellation was made due to circumstances that were beyond the organizer’s control. The decision followed discussions with several relevant parties involved in the event’s planning and coordination. After evaluating the situation, the organizers concluded that proceeding with the event as originally scheduled would not be possible.
The fan signing event had generated significant anticipation among fans in Shanghai and surrounding regions, as it would have provided a rare opportunity for supporters to interact directly with the members of LE SSERAFIM.
Fan sign events are a common part of promotional activities in the K-pop industry, allowing fans who purchase certain albums or merchandise to participate in meet-and-greet sessions, photo opportunities, and autograph signings.
However, despite the excitement surrounding the event, MAKESTAR ultimately confirmed that the gathering would be canceled. In its announcement, the organizer explained that all purchases made for participation in the event would be fully refunded automatically, ensuring that fans would not need to take additional steps to receive reimbursement.
The company also took the opportunity to express its regret to fans who had been eagerly awaiting the event. Many supporters had shown strong interest in attending the fan signing, and the cancellation came as disappointing news for those who had hoped to meet the group.
MAKESTAR shared the following statement regarding the cancellation:
“Due to circumstances beyond our control, after careful discussion with multiple relevant agencies, we have inevitably decided to cancel the ‘LE SSERAFIM 1st Single Album “SPAGHETTI” FAN SIGNING EVENT & PHOTO EVENT IN SHANGHAI’ that was scheduled to take place on December 14.”
The organizer further addressed fans regarding refunds and offered an apology for the unexpected change in plans.
“Once again, we sincerely apologize to the fans who gave this event your love and interest. Thank you for always supporting LE SSERAFIM. We feel it is a pity that this event was canceled, and we sincerely apologize to the fans who waited for a long time.”
Although the Shanghai fan signing event will no longer take place, LE SSERAFIM continues its ongoing promotions related to the release of their first single album, “SPAGHETTI.” The group has remained active with various appearances, performances, and fan-focused activities as part of their broader promotional schedule.
Fans who had planned to attend the event are now awaiting potential updates regarding future opportunities to meet the group, as organizers and agencies may explore alternative events or promotional activities in the future.
