TWICE 11th anniversary fan party draws criticism over limited capacity

JYP Entertainment has announced the '2026 TWICE FAN PARTY [ONCE UPON A THRI11]' to celebrate the group's 11th debut anniversary on October 17 in Seoul. The event is scheduled to consist of three sessions at 2:00 PM, 4:00 PM, and 6:00 PM, with each session limited to 250 attendees, totaling only 750 spots for the entire day.

Participants will be selected via a random lottery, and each person can only win one session. Eligibility is restricted to members of the 5th official fan club, 'ONCE', who are aged 15 or older. The specific venue in Seoul has not yet been disclosed, with details to be provided only to winners, a decision that has caused concern for fans traveling from other regions or abroad.

The limited scale of the event has drawn significant criticism from fans online, who argue that the capacity is disproportionately small for a group with a global stadium-level fandom. This follows similar complaints regarding the scale of the group's 10th-anniversary fan meeting last year.
