According to the recent event posted by Wangga Tanghulu, there are 31 different photocards for fans to collect. They’ll receive one stamp for each tanghulu and get a random photocard after collecting three stamps at the same store. The probability of getting a different card every time is very hard and in order to have the full collection, they need to eat at least 93 tanghulus.
In response, fans poured criticism, saying “Isn’t it too much to do business by taking advantage of fans’ love and support?”, “Are you sure that the cards for the fansigning event will be distributed fairly? Will this process be made transparent in the stores?”, etc.
It turned out that this event had not been discussed with StayC’s agency in advance. At 8 p.m. on January 28th, the agency hurriedly released a notice, saying “The event uploaded on January 23rd was announced without reaching a final agreement with us. We were still discussing details related to the notices to be announced on the 29th, and no conclusion had been made. Despite our request for postponement of the notice today (January 29th), additional notice was uploaded without our agreement. We apologize for confusing fans with an unconfirmed notice. Afterward, we will request the partner’s deletion of the announcement and confirm the situation. After reaching a final agreement, we will release a notice with accurate information”.
Later at around 1 a.m. on the 30th, the Tanghulu company belatedly explained, “We will change the content of the photocard event after reflecting the opinions of consumers and StayC’s agency. We will change the content from buying 3 Tanghulu to getting 1 photocard to getting 1 photocard for each Tanghulu you buy.”
Meanwhile, StayC successfully completed the Seoul show, US tour and Taiwan show of their first world tour “TEENFRESH”, and they will continue touring in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Warsaw.
