The Flower Event allocation is the headline, but choosing the right participation format matters just as much. MAKESTAR’s NEXZ SAUCIN' event listing sets out separate opportunities for the Flower Event, an in-person fansign and individual video calls.
How many places are available at NEXZ’s SAUCIN' Flower Event?
MAKESTAR lists 20 Flower Event places for October 28, 2026, alongside 30 face-to-face fansign places and 70 individual video-call places. Applications close October 25 at 23:59 KST, making the application deadline the immediate date to check before purchasing through the designated MAKESTAR event page.
Quick Answer: NEXZ’s SAUCIN' Flower Event has 20 places, according to MAKESTAR. Applications close October 25, 2026, at 23:59 KST. The Flower Event allocation is separate from the fansign and video-call allocations; applicants may win across categories, so the published figures do not represent a confirmed count of distinct attendees.
These are allocations across three participation formats, rather than a single guest list. MAKESTAR permits multiple wins across categories, so adding the allocations does not establish 120 distinct attendees. The Flower Event allocation alone also cannot establish demand, sell-through or an applicant’s winning odds. For a buyer, the useful distinction is which format they want to enter and which participation rules apply to that choice.
Use the designated MAKESTAR listing for purchase and participation requirements. Entry is tied to qualifying BLACK or YELLOW album purchases, entries are calculated by album quantity, and payment must be completed. Treat a purchase as an application step, rather than a confirmed invitation.
The NEXZ STAFF notice on FANS, published October 23, independently corroborates the October 28 event and October 25 application deadline. That announcement confirms the schedule; MAKESTAR remains the source for the detailed entry mechanics buyers should read before paying.
How do the Flower Event, fansign and video calls compare?
The Flower Event and face-to-face fansign require in-person attendance, while individual video calls offer remote participation. MAKESTAR allocates 20 Flower Event places, 30 fansign places and 70 video-call places, with the calls following the fansign rather than starting at a fixed published time . Choose according to whether you can travel and how much scheduling flexibility you have, rather than comparing allocation sizes alone.
| Format | Allocated places | October 28 start time in KST | Participation logistics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flower Event | 20 | 19:30 | In person; detailed entry and venue information goes privately to winners. |
| Face-to-face fansign | 30 | 20:45 | In person; follow the winner-specific attendance instructions. |
| Individual video call | 70 | After Part 2; no fixed start time | Remote participation; leave room for waiting after the fansign. |
Schedule and participation details: MAKESTAR’s official event listing. Treat the published starts as planning anchors, and use your winner notification for the instructions that apply to your participation.
The video-call allocation is 10 places per member: eight regular winners and two special-event winners. Those special-event places are already included in the stated total of 70; they are not an additional 14 places . A larger allocation does not establish better odds, because the number of competing entries is also needed to make that comparison.
“Participation in the event is limited to the selected winner only.” — MAKESTAR, event organizer, participation rules.
For the in-person formats, assess whether you can attend before committing to travel. MAKESTAR sends detailed venue information privately to winners, so wait for that notification before planning the final journey. For video calls, remote access removes the journey but does not provide a predictable appointment slot.
- Attending in person: leave enough flexibility for check-in instructions and travel to the location disclosed in your notification.
- Joining remotely: keep your availability open around the event sequence; avoid placing an inflexible commitment immediately afterward.
- Comparing formats: decide which experience and attendance requirements suit you before using the allocation figures to guide a purchase.
Which SAUCIN' albums qualify, and what should buyers budget?
The eligible products are the BLACK and YELLOW versions of SAUCIN' sold through the designated MAKESTAR event page. Entries are calculated by album quantity and require completed payment . Build your budget around the final checkout total for that listing. Do not treat an identical album bought from another retailer, or from a separate MAKESTAR listing, as an eligible event purchase.
Quantity-based entry means that the number of qualifying albums purchased determines the entry count under MAKESTAR’s event rules . It does not establish your selection probability or guarantee a place when you increase an order. Choose a spending limit you would remain comfortable with if you were not selected, and avoid treating additional albums as a way to secure attendance.
Exact costs are left unspecified here. Before committing, check the listing’s currency and current unit price, then review any shipping or other charges shown at checkout. For an international purchase, also check whether your payment provider applies a currency-conversion fee and whether import charges could affect your overall budget. These are budgeting checks, not confirmed charges for this order. A displayed album price alone should not become your spending estimate.
Use this checklist while reviewing the event listing and purchase conditions:
- Eligible version: Confirm that your selection is the BLACK or YELLOW version on the designated event page .
- Event option: Where a selection is required, check that it matches the participation format you intend to apply for. Do not assume a purchase enters every category automatically.
- Album quantity: Review the quantity before paying, because MAKESTAR calculates entries by album quantity .
- Final payable total: Check the currency, album subtotal and checkout charges against your spending limit.
- Payment confirmation: Verify that payment completed successfully; completed payment is required for entry . Keep the confirmation for your records.
When do MAKESTAR applications close, and when are winners announced?
MAKESTAR applications remain open until October 25, 2026, at 23:59 KST, with winners scheduled to be announced after October 26 at 11:00 KST . The application window is still open at publication. For anyone applying today, completed payment within that window is essential; an unfinished checkout does not qualify for entry, according to MAKESTAR’s participation rules.
- Applications open: Friday, October 23, 2026, at 10:00 KST .
- Applications close: Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 23:59 KST .
- Winner announcement: Results are scheduled for after Monday, October 26, 2026, at 11:00 KST on the event page .
- Event day: Wednesday, October 28, 2026 .
Korea Standard Time, abbreviated KST, is UTC+9; converting MAKESTAR’s closing time gives October 25, 2026, at 14:59 UTC . International applicants should convert that dated deadline into their own time zone rather than assume they can shop until local midnight. Set a reminder before the cutoff and leave room to resolve checkout problems. Starting an order before the deadline is not a substitute for completing payment.
The wording “after 11:00 KST” establishes an announcement threshold, not a promise that results will appear at exactly that minute on October 26 . Check the event page for the announcement rather than treating an immediate absence of results as a decision on your application.
The NEXZ STAFF notice on FANS also identifies October 25 as the application deadline . That notice corroborates the closing date; use MAKESTAR’s event page for the detailed payment and participation requirements.
Where is the October 28 event, and what should international fans check?
MAKESTAR sends detailed venue information privately to winners of NEXZ’s SAUCIN' event; a public location is not specified on the event listing . International fans should therefore avoid assuming a city, address or travel route. Before purchasing, read the MAKESTAR participation rules and check whether the requirements for your chosen format fit your circumstances.
Use this pre-purchase checklist to identify what needs confirmation. These are questions to resolve in the original rules, not statements that a particular policy applies:
- Applicant identification: What identification is accepted, and what must a winner present or submit for verification?
- International eligibility: Can applicants with your nationality and country of residence enter the selected event category?
- Name entry: Which name format and spelling are required, and must they match your identification exactly?
- Cancellation terms: What cancellation or refund restrictions apply to an event-entry purchase, including if your attendance plans change?
- Shipping coverage: Is delivery available to your destination, and what shipping charges or possible import costs should you account for?
- Video-call requirements: Which platform, account details, device setup and connection conditions are required? Check any communication instructions without assuming language support.
Attendance logistics also depend on the format. Flower Event and face-to-face fansign applicants need to assess whether they can attend in person if selected. The video-call event follows the face-to-face fansign without a fixed start time, so overseas applicants should leave flexibility in their local schedule rather than treating it as a precisely timed appointment . Check the winner instructions for any required availability window before arranging competing commitments.
Keep the album order and any travel budget separate. Evaluate the purchase using the checkout total and the applicable delivery terms; assess travel only when you have enough confirmed attendance information. Avoid committing to non-refundable arrangements based on an assumed location. For video-call applicants, focus instead on confirming technical readiness and availability, while remembering that an album purchase still needs its own delivery budget.
Is this MAKESTAR event connected to Japanese promotions or tour tickets?
The MAKESTAR event is part of the SAUCIN' album campaign, with its own application process; buyers should not assume it includes Japanese purchaser-event access or tour tickets. JYP’s official discography dates SAUCIN' to August 24, 2026, following Mmchk on April 27, 2026 . Those release dates establish that the MAKESTAR activity promotes an existing album, rather than announcing a new release.
The Japanese purchaser events belong to a separate schedule. Sony Music’s September 24 announcement includes SAUCIN' among releases associated with events in Osaka on October 10 and Tokyo on October 11, 2026 . Those cities do not identify the location of the MAKESTAR event. Treat each organizer’s listing as a separate set of purchase and participation instructions, even when the album name matches.
Tour promotion is another distinct thread. JYP’s notice index lists an October 18, 2026 announcement for NEXZ’s first Asia tour, SAUCIN' THE WORLD . That announcement does not establish a tour-ticket benefit for MAKESTAR purchases. The NEXZ STAFF notice on FANS corroborates the MAKESTAR announcement; the MAKESTAR product page supplies its participation mechanics.
Before paying, use this shopping checklist:
- Confirm that the listing is for the October 28, 2026 FLOWER&MEET&CALL EVENT .
- Choose the intended participation format: Flower Event, face-to-face fansign or individual video call.
- Check the eligible BLACK or YELLOW album option and review the final charges.
- Verify the application window and complete payment before the stated cutoff.
Buy for the participation opportunity described on the correct listing, with a checkout total you accept. A shared album title does not make separate promotions interchangeable.
Frequently asked questions
Does buying a SAUCIN' album guarantee a Flower Event place?
No. A qualifying purchase provides entries, not a guaranteed place. MAKESTAR lists 20 Flower Event places, calculates entries by album quantity and requires completed payment . The allocation alone does not establish an applicant’s odds of winning.
Can one person win more than one NEXZ MAKESTAR event category?
Yes. MAKESTAR permits multiple wins across categories. Its allocations of 20 Flower Event places, 30 face-to-face fansign places and 70 video-call places therefore do not necessarily represent 120 different winners .
What is the NEXZ MAKESTAR application deadline?
The application deadline is October 25, 2026, at 23:59 Korean Standard Time (KST), with payment completed by the cutoff, according to MAKESTAR’s event listing . International applicants should convert the Korean deadline to their local time before checking out.
What time do the October 28 NEXZ video calls begin?
The individual video calls follow the face-to-face fansign, which begins on October 28, 2026, at 20:45 KST. MAKESTAR does not specify a fixed video-call start time . Video-call winners should follow their participation instructions rather than treat the fansign’s start time as their call time.
Has MAKESTAR announced a public venue for the Flower Event?
No public venue is identified in MAKESTAR’s event listing; detailed location information is sent privately to winners. The Osaka and Tokyo locations associated with Sony Music’s separate Japanese promotions do not identify the Flower Event’s venue. Wait for the winner instructions before arranging travel to the event location.
