ARTMS lucky draw: 8 photocards, and a full set takes 8 albums

From 7 to 13 October 2026, MAKESTAR is running a lucky draw for ARTMS's second mini album Hyper-Ego. Each album comes with one random photocard out of eight, and the only way to be sure of getting all eight is to buy eight albums in one order.

What does the ARTMS Hyper-Ego Makestar lucky draw offer, and when does it end?

The ARTMS Hyper-Ego LUCKY DRAW EVENT runs on MAKESTAR from 2026.10.07 (Wed) 15:00 KST to 2026.10.13 (Tue) 23:59 KST. Pre-orders for the event close at that same deadline . Every album in the event comes with 1 random photocard out of 8 types. The set has 4 Black Cat designs and 4 Hamster designs . If you buy 8 albums in a single order, you get 1 complete set with no duplicates. That rule is why a full set takes 8 albums (source: MAKESTAR, 2026-10).

Quick Answer: MAKESTAR's ARTMS Hyper-Ego lucky draw runs from 7 October 2026, 15:00 KST, to 13 October, 23:59 KST. Each album includes 1 random photocard from 8 types (4 Black Cat, 4 Hamster). If you buy 8 albums in one order, you are guaranteed a full set with no duplicates.

A lucky draw is a retailer-run benefit that adds an exclusive photocard, picked at random, to each album you buy. Your odds of a specific card depend on how many albums you order. With one or two albums, you get one or two cards out of eight, and repeats are possible. The 8-album single-order rule is the only route MAKESTAR states for getting every design in one go . If you split those 8 albums across several orders, the no-duplicate guarantee does not apply, because it is tied to a single order.

This October event is separate from, and later than, MAKESTAR's Hyper-Ego PRE-ORDER SPECIAL GIFT EVENT. That earlier event ran from 2026.07.10 to 2026.08.06 23:59 KST and paired each album with a Polaroid-style photocard . Its benefits do not carry over to this draw (source: MAKESTAR product page 19173, 2026-07).

One gap is worth flagging. We could not confirm prices, album version options or shipping fees for this October event from any source available to us. Check them on the event's sale page on MAKESTAR before you settle on a quantity. For reference only, the July pre-order listed a [RANDOM] option at ₩19,300 for one album. That price belongs to a different event and may not match this one .

How do the 8 photocards and the no-duplicate set work?

Every album bought in the MAKESTAR Hyper-Ego lucky draw includes one random photocard from a pool of 8 designs. The pool has 4 Black Cat types and 4 Hamster types . Because each card is drawn at random, a single album can match a card you already own. The only guaranteed route to all eight is to buy 8 albums in one order, which comes with 1 SET of photocards and no duplicates .

What one album gets you

One album means one draw from the eight designs. The event text lists the two themes as equal halves of the pool. It does not say that any design is rarer than another or that Black Cat and Hamster cards are packed in different ratios. If a particular member or theme matters to you, it's safest to assume every design has the same chance. Each extra album you buy separately is another random draw, so duplicates are possible.

How the no-duplicate set works

The guarantee is tied to one specific condition: 8 albums purchased in a single order . The MAKESTAR event wording describes the set benefit only for a single order. So if you buy 3 albums on one day and 5 more later in a second checkout, nothing in the event text says those orders combine into a guaranteed set. In practice:

• 1–7 albums: each album has its own random card, and duplicates can happen.
• 8 albums in one order: you get one complete set of all 8 designs (4 Black Cat + 4 Hamster) with no duplicates.
• 8 albums across several orders: this isn't described as qualifying for the no-duplicate set, so treat each order as separate random draws.

Orders for this event close at 23:59 KST on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 . Any single order meant to cover a full set needs to be placed before then. Cancelling a purchase removes you from the event, so you also can't restructure an order by cancelling it and buying again after the deadline .

How it compares with earlier Hyper-Ego draws

The October format looks a lot like MAKESTAR's own July pre-order event for the same album. That earlier event ran from 2026.07.10 to 2026.08.06 KST, and every album came with one exclusive Polaroid-style photocard drawn at random from 8 designs . The two events are separate, and their cards and terms shouldn't be mixed up. The July product page (MAKESTAR product 19173) has its own rules.

Other retailers set up their lucky draws on a smaller scale. The Europe lucky draw sold through BBANGYA included 1 of 4 instant-photo-style photocards per album, and buying 4 albums guaranteed all 4 . The hello82 exclusive version came with 1 random hello82 Exclusive Polaroid Photocard out of 4 . MAKESTAR's October pool is twice as large, so a guaranteed full set takes 8 albums instead of 4. That difference matters when you plan your total spend, especially since the October prices weren't available in any source we could check.

What is the Limited SPECIAL KIT, capped at 15 sets per member?

The SPECIAL KIT is a separate purchase option in the MAKESTAR ARTMSlucky draw. One kit is a set of 10 albums. MAKESTAR's event text has a dedicated line for "All purchasers of the ★Limited Quantity★ SPECIAL KIT (SET of 10 albums)," and each member can buy up to 15 sets . Before you add a kit to your cart, check the kit listing on MAKESTAR to see exactly what you get.

The listing matters because the event text names a benefit for kit buyers but doesn't say what that benefit is. We couldn't open the kit's product page, and no source we could read describes the extra item. So we won't guess. Here is what is confirmed:

• Kit size: 10 albums per SPECIAL KIT .
• Purchase limit: 15 SETS per member .
• Kit-only benefit: listed for all kit buyers, but the item isn't described in the source text.
• Not confirmed: the kit price, the album versions inside the kit and any member-specific options.

It also helps to compare the kit with the photocard rule from the previous section. If a single order of 8 albums gets you one no-duplicate set of the 8 photocard types (4 Black Cat and 4 Hamster), a 10-album kit is past that threshold . The event text doesn't say how the 8-album full-set rule applies to albums bought as part of a kit. It also doesn't say what happens when a kit and loose albums are in the same order. If a complete photocard set is your main goal, ask MAKESTAR Customer Support or read the kit listing's notes before you pay.

The 15-set cap is a per-member purchase limit. It doesn't tell you how much stock exists or how fast the kits will sell, and no source we checked reports either one. The kit follows the same order window as the rest of the event. Orders and cancellation requests close on 2026.10.13 (Tue) at 23:59 KST . Make up your mind about the kit before then, since a canceled order drops you out of the event.

Can you cancel, and what happens after you order?

Yes, but only until 2026.10.13 (Tue) at 23:59 KST, when the event closes. MAKESTAR says it will not cancel or refund any request that arrives after that time . Once you place an order, production usually takes 1–2 weeks. Exchange and extra-shipment requests also have their own short deadline after delivery, so the order has a few fixed dates to keep in mind.

If you do cancel, you also lose your place in the event. According to the event terms on MAKESTAR, a canceled purchase is excluded from the lucky draw . This matters most for the 8-album set. MAKESTAR only promises 8 cards with no duplicates when all 8 albums are in a single order. The event text does not say what happens if you cancel part of an order. If you want to change your quantity, check with MAKESTAR Customer Support before the deadline. Don't assume a partial cancellation will keep the set intact.

Key dates after you order

The 7-day window is the deadline international buyers miss most often. It starts on the delivery date, not the shipping date. If a parcel sits at a forwarding address or in customs before you open it, you may have only a few days left. Open the box as soon as it arrives. Count the photocards against the 8 designs (4 Black Cat, 4 Hamster), and photograph any damage or missing items before you contact Customer Support .

A damaged component can take a long time to replace. MAKESTAR estimates 4 to 12 weeks for those exchanges . If you bought a full set to keep sealed or display, a dented case could mean waiting up to three months for a replacement. MAKESTAR's earlier <Hyper-Ego> pre-order event used the same 1–2 week production time and 7-day claim window . That suggests these are MAKESTAR's standard terms rather than something new for this draw.

The event text doesn't give a shipping date, delivery estimates by country or shipping fees for international orders. Those details, along with album prices and version options, appear on the MAKESTAR sale page at checkout.

What is Hyper-Ego, and how does this event compare with other lucky draws?

Hyper-Ego is ARTMS's second mini album (EP). MODHAUS released it on August 7, 2026, with "Born Stunner" and "Blue Blood" as double title tracks . The October MAKESTAR draw is a post-release sales event for this album. It is the second MAKESTAR Hyper-Ego event, after a pre-order gift event in July and August. Several retailers outside Korea have also run their own lucky draws for it.

"Born Stunner" came out early, on July 24, 2026 (source: kpopping) . The EP has six tracks running about 14:48 in total: "From Wings To Soul", "Born Stunner", "Blue Blood", "Icarus Gang", "Hyper Crush" and "Pixel Memory" (source: Kpop Wiki) . Retail listings show physical versions called Aura and Trauma, plus an Objekt Music Album (QR) version (source: kpopalbums.com) . Wikipedia lists a peak of No. 9 in South Korea . That figure comes from a secondary source, not an official chart page.

There is also context on the members. HaSeul is on a health-related hiatus and did not take full part in promotions . NBNTV reported on September 22, 2026 that she still took part in the intro track. The same report says ARTMS plans to continue its North American tour "Art of BLUE BLOOD" .

The earlier MAKESTAR Hyper-Ego PRE-ORDER SPECIAL GIFT EVENT was a separate event, and its terms do not carry over to the October draw. It ran from July 10 to August 6, 2026, 23:59 KST, and winners were announced on August 7 at 15:00 KST (source: MAKESTAR, 2026-07) . Its terms were:

• [RANDOM] option: ₩19,300 for 1 album, random out of 2 versions
• [SET] option: ₩38,600 for 2 albums
• One unreleased Polaroid-style photocard per album, random out of 8 designs, plus 8 buyers drawn to receive a signed Polaroid from a random member

Those prices were for the summer pre-order. They are not confirmed for the October event. The October draw is built around a no-duplicate set, as the official event text puts it:

"1 random photocard provided per album, out of 8 types… Purchase 8 albums in a single order to receive 1 SET of photocards (no duplicates)," — event notice, MAKESTAR (source: MAKESTAR)

Other retailers used smaller card pools, so a full set took fewer albums:

• BBANGYA (Europe lucky draw): 1 of 4 instant-photo-style photocards per album, with all 4 guaranteed when you buy 4 albums (source: BBANGYA)
• hello82 exclusive: 1 random hello82 Exclusive Polaroid Photocard, 1 of 4 (source: hello82)

The MAKESTAR October draw has twice as many card types as these 4-card pools, so a guaranteed complete set takes 8 albums instead of 4.

How should international fans decide how many albums to buy before Oct 13?

Decide how many albums to buy based on which result you want. One album gets you one random photocard from 8 types. Eight albums in a single order get you a full set of 8 with no duplicates. The 10-album Limited SPECIAL KIT carries its own separate benefit . Every option must be ordered and kept active through 2026.10.13 (Tue) 23:59 KST .

If you only want one card and don't mind which member, a single album is enough. If you collect a specific member or motif, keep in mind that each album draws at random from 4 Black Cat and 4 Hamster designs. Buying 2 or 3 albums does not guarantee that you will get the card you want. Only the 8-album single order guarantees every design . The SPECIAL KIT is a SET of 10 albums with a limit of 15 sets per member. The event text available to us does not say what extra item kit buyers get, so read the product description on MAKESTAR before you choose it over the 8-album route .

We could not confirm prices, version options or international shipping fees for this October event in any source we could read. Check all three on the MAKESTAR sale page before you pay. For reference only, the earlier July–August pre-order event listed a [RANDOM] option at ₩19,300 and a [SET] of 2 albums at ₩38,600. Those figures do not carry over to this draw .

Before you place the order, run through this checklist:

• Convert the deadline to your time zone. 23:59 KST on Oct 13 is 14:59 UTC, 15:59 in London (BST), 10:59 in New York (EDT) and 07:59 in Los Angeles (PDT), all on the same day.
• Confirm the version. Retail listings for Hyper-Ego show Aura, Trauma and an Objekt Music Album (QR) version. Check which one the MAKESTAR option ships .
• Keep all albums in one order. The no-duplicate set applies only to 8 albums bought in a single order, so splitting them across several orders does not qualify .
• Note the 7-day support window. Requests for an extra shipment or an exchange are reviewed only if you contact Customer Support within 7 days of delivery. Exchanges for damaged components can take 4 to 12 weeks .

Set your final album count before the cutoff. After 2026.10.13 (Tue) 23:59 KST, orders cannot be cancelled or refunded, and cancelling at any point removes you from the event . If you are unsure, start with fewer albums and add a single larger order before the deadline, since the set must come from one order. If you want all eight Black Cat and Hamster cards, place one 8-album order, check the price and shipping on the sale page, and make sure it goes through before Oct 13, 23:59 KST.
