How to enter: Winners are chosen from buyers of THE 1st MINI ALBUM [WHICH WAY] on this event page during the entry period. Only the Minicard ver. counts for entry.

  • Showcase: 20 winners per store (160 in total)
  • The number of entries does not depend on the number of orders. You get one entry per album bought in this event. Example: buy 10 and you get 10 entry tickets; buy 24 and you get 24.
  • Orders marked as payment completed are entered automatically. If you split your purchase across several orders, you are entered as many times as the total quantity.
  • Makestar benefit items are given even if you choose not to enter.
  • Entries use the event entry info typed at checkout (name, date of birth, phone number, messenger ID).
  • After the entry period ends, entrant and messenger details cannot be changed. If a wrong entry makes it hard to confirm your identity on the event day, you will be told you cannot take part.
  • Products ship in order after the on-site event ends.

Makestar benefits

For showcase entrants

  • 1 unpublished photocard: 1 per album, 1 of 6 random. Buy 6 albums in one order to get a non-duplicate set.

For showcase winners

  • 1 showcase invitation ticket, 1 per person. Tickets are not shipped.

Entrant info

Overseas residents must give their own phone number with country code, not a forwarding address or someone else's number. Makestar is not responsible for problems caused by a number that cannot be reached.

  1. Enter your real name and email in the order info. Foreign entrants use the English name exactly as on their passport and add the country code to the phone number.
  2. Entries use the event entry info typed at checkout, not your member profile.
  3. Only the winner can take part, and details cannot be changed after entering. Nicknames are not accepted.
  4. Enter one person per order. If you enter two or more, only one is counted.

Notes for all buyers

  • The organizer is not responsible for problems caused by not reading these notes.
  • Products bought during the entry period cannot be cancelled or refunded after it ends. You can cancel only until Oct 9, 2026 (Fri) 23:59 KST, and a cancelled order is removed from the draw.
  • You can enter and win more than once. You can enter on behalf of someone else, but only the winner can take part.
  • After winners are announced, name and phone number cannot be changed through customer service.
  • Makestar and ODDWAVE collect name, contact details and date of birth to confirm winners and run the event, and delete them within 1 year after the event ends.
  • The event may change or be cancelled without notice, and some members may be unable to attend.
  • The product includes a draw ticket that loses its value when entry closes, so there are no refunds for a change of mind after sales end.
