ODD YOUTH's Taipei photo event has just 65 winner slots

ODD YOUTH is holding a photo event in Taipei on November 7, 2026, and the official listing caps it at 65 winners. Here is what has been confirmed so far and what fans should check before the event.

What is the ODD YOUTH Taipei photo event, and how many fans can attend?

The ODD YOUTH Taipei photo event is a MAKESTAR fan event set for 2026.11.07 (Sat) at 19:00 local Taipei time, and it has 65 winner slots in total . The slots are split into 5 group Polaroid winners, 35 1:1 Polaroid winners and 25 selfie winners. You enter by buying the group's third single, [ can't go back ], through MAKESTAR.

Quick Answer: MAKESTAR's ODD YOUTH [ can't go back ] (POCAALBUM SLEEVE Ver.) photo event takes place in Taipei on November 7, 2026, at 19:00 local time. It has 65 winner slots in total: 5 group Polaroid, 35 1:1 Polaroid and 25 selfie. Applications closed on October 18, and winners will be announced after 17:00 KST on October 19.

MAKESTAR is a K-pop album retailer that also runs fan events. Its homepage lists this event in the PHOTO EVENT section under the full title "ODD YOUTH 3rd Single [ can't go back ] (POCAALBUM SLEEVE Ver.) PHOTO EVENT IN TAIPEI" . The version name in the title tells you how entry works. You enter by buying the POCAALBUM SLEEVE version of the album. That is a photocard-style smart album with no CD, and other versions do not appear to count. The listing does not say whether winners are drawn by lottery or ranked by number of purchases.

The official MAKESTAR listing confirms these details :

• Event date: 2026.11.07 (Sat), 19:00 local time
• City: Taipei. No venue has been named.
• Application period: 2026.10.16 (Fri) 18:00 KST to 2026.10.18 (Sun) 23:59 KST. This window is now closed.
• Winner announcement: after 2026.10.19 (Mon) 17:00 KST, on the MAKESTAR event page
• Total winners: 65 (5 group Polaroid + 35 1:1 Polaroid + 25 selfie)
• Age rule: as of April 13, 2026, people under 14 cannot apply or take part

The 65 slots are split so that each member gets the same number in the individual programs. The 1:1 Polaroid program has 7 winners per member and the selfie program has 5 per member . Those numbers fit a five-member lineup.

The location is less clear. The listing names only the city, and none of the sources we could read gives a venue. MAKESTAR ran a similar Taipei photo event for xikers in July 2026, and the venue and entry times for that event were sent only to winners . The ODD YOUTH event may work the same way, but that has not been confirmed. Fans who applied between October 16 and 18 should check the MAKESTAR event page for results and for any follow-up notice with the venue.

How are the 65 slots split across the three programs?

The 65 winner slots are split across three programs: a Group Polaroid Photo Event for 5 people, a 1:1 Polaroid Photo Event for 35 people, and a Selfie Event for 25 people. These are the only counts given in the official MAKESTAR listing for the November 7 event in Taipei . The 1:1 Polaroid program has the most places, with 35 of the 65 slots. That is a little over half.

Winner counts are from the MAKESTAR listing . The percentages are rounded and calculated from those counts.

Group Polaroid Photo Event. This is the smallest program. MAKESTAR lists it as "5 people in total" . Unlike the other two programs, the group Polaroid count is not split by member. The excerpts we could read do not say how the group shot is set up, so fans should check the event page for those details.

1:1 Polaroid Photo Event. The listing gives "35 people in total (7 people per member)" . This makes it the largest of the three programs. Because the slots are counted per member, each member has the same number of 1:1 Polaroid winners. Poses, how long each turn lasts, and whether winners keep the Polaroid are not stated in the excerpts we saw.

Selfie Event. MAKESTAR lists "25 people in total (5 people per member)" for the selfie program . The structure matches the 1:1 program: the slots are spread evenly across the members, with fewer places for each.

The per-member numbers line up with a five-member group. Seven winners for each of five members gives 35, and five winners for each of five members gives 25. Fan reference sources list ODD YOUTH as five members: MAIKA, MYAH, KANIE, SUMMER and YEEUM . The listing itself only gives totals and per-member counts. It does not say which member each slot belongs to or how fans choose a member.

Several things are not covered by the official excerpts:

• How winners are picked, for example by lottery or by number of albums bought
• Whether one person can win in more than one program
• The album price or any entry cost for this event

On MAKESTAR's July 2026 xikers photo event in Taipei, entries for the 1:1 program were counted by the number of albums bought, not by the number of orders . That rule has not been confirmed for ODD YOUTH. The MAKESTAR event page is the place to check the exact terms.

When are the application window, winner announcement and event time?

The ODD YOUTH photo event in Taipei starts on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at 19:00 Taipei local time . Applications ran from 2026.10.16 (Fri) 18:00 KST to 2026.10.18 (Sun) 23:59 KST, so the window has already closed . MAKESTAR will post winners on its event page after 2026.10.19 (Mon) 17:00 KST . The main thing fans need to do now is check that page for results. Everything here comes from the official MAKESTAR listing.

Here is the timeline in order:

• Application / sales period: 2026.10.16 (Fri) 18:00 KST to 2026.10.18 (Sun) 23:59 KST. The window is closed .
• Winner announcement: after 2026.10.19 (Mon) 17:00 KST, on the MAKESTAR event page .
• Event start: 2026.11.07 (Sat) at 19:00 local time in Taipei .

The listing uses two time zones, so read the times carefully. The application window and the winner announcement are in Korea Standard Time (KST). The event start is in Taipei local time. Taipei is one hour behind Seoul. That means 17:00 KST on October 19 is 16:00 in Taipei. The 19:00 event start on November 7 is already given in local time, so fans in Taipei do not need to convert it. Fans travelling from Japan or Korea should plan around 19:00 Taipei time. That is 20:00 back home in Seoul or Tokyo.

The listing also has an age rule. From April 13, 2026, people under 14 cannot apply for or take part in the event . The rule applies to both applying and attending. A winner under 14 should not expect to be admitted on the day. Bring a valid photo ID in case staff check ages at entry. Before you travel, confirm on the event page which documents MAKESTAR accepts.

The listing does not give a venue or entry times. It names only the city, Taipei. MAKESTAR has done this before for a Taipei event. For its xikers photo event in Taipei in July 2026, the venue and entry details were sent only to winners . You can see that process on the xikers event page. MAKESTAR has not confirmed it will do the same for ODD YOUTH. Until it posts details, any venue name circulating on social media is unverified.

If you applied, take these steps after the announcement:

• Check the MAKESTAR event page after 17:00 KST on October 19 for the results.
• Watch the email address and MAKESTAR account you used to order. Venue and entry information, if sent only to winners, will most likely arrive there.
• Book flights or hotels you can cancel until the venue and entry time are confirmed. The 19:00 start is the only time the listing gives.

What is the POCAALBUM SLEEVE version of 'can't go back'?

The POCAALBUM SLEEVE version is a CD-free "smart album" edition of [ can't go back ], ODD YOUTH's third single album. It is the version tied to the Taipei photo event. Retailer listings describe it as a QR and photocard package: you stream the music through a QR card, and there is no physical disc . MAKESTAR's homepage lists the event as "ODD YOUTH 3rd Single [ can't go back ] (POCAALBUM SLEEVE Ver.) PHOTO EVENT IN TAIPEI", so the SLEEVE edition is the one linked to entry .

[ can't go back ] is the group's first summer release. The official ODD YOUTH X account posted concept-photo teasers in August 2026 (source: ODD YOUTH on X, 2026-08) . The digital single and its music video came out on August 19, 2026 at 6 PM KST . NBN TV describes the title track as a bright summer dance-pop song .

The single has two tracks, according to MAKESTAR's product page :

1. "can't go back" (title track)
2. "Happy"

Retailer listings give these contents for the SLEEVE version :

• Envelope (the "sleeve")
• Postcard
• Photocard
• QR card for streaming the tracks
• User guide

These descriptions come from a third-party shop (source: Kyyo, 2026-08), not from MAKESTAR's event listing. The number of each item, and whether photocards are random, should be checked on the official MAKESTAR sale page before you count on a specific set.

The related POCAALBUM BOX version shows what the format looks like on MAKESTAR. That listing includes an outbox, a QR card, selfie photocards (2 random out of 10), a concept photocard set of 5 sheets and a user guide, at a listed price of KRW 16,300 . The BOX version is a separate product, though. Its price and contents should not be read as the SLEEVE price for the Taipei event. That price did not appear in any source available for this article, and the application window that would have shown it closed on October 18.

For physical stock, MAKESTAR lists the POCAALBUM BOX version with a release date of August 24, 2026 (KST) . Some retailers list physical availability around August 24-25, 2026 . If you won a Taipei slot, your event-linked SLEEVE order goes through MAKESTAR's own shipping and pickup process. Check your order page for delivery details instead of relying on general retail dates.

What is still unconfirmed, and where should fans check before Nov. 7?

The listing confirms only six things: the date, the city, the application window, the announcement time, the three event parts and the under-14 rule. The readable excerpts of MAKESTAR's official listing don't say how winners are picked, what the event ticket or album costs, which poses or prizes are involved, or where in Taipei the event takes place . Until MAKESTAR publishes these details, the event page is the only reliable source. It lists the event as "ODD YOUTH 3rd Single [ can't go back ] (POCAALBUM SLEEVE Ver.) PHOTO EVENT IN TAIPEI" on MAKESTAR.

These details were not in the excerpts we could read:

• How winners are chosen: the listing doesn't say whether it's a random draw or based on how many albums you bought.
• Price: no event ticket price or event-specific album price is stated.
• Poses and prizes: the exact poses for the Polaroid and selfie parts are not described, and neither is what winners take home.
• Venue: only "TAIPEI" is named. No street address or entry time has been published.

An earlier MAKESTAR event in the same city gives some context. For xikers' Taipei photo event in July 2026, MAKESTAR counted 1:1 photo entries by the number of albums bought, not the number of orders. The venue and entry times were sent only to winners . You can see that listing on the MAKESTAR xikers event page. ODD YOUTH's event may work the same way, but nothing in the readable listing confirms it. Treat it as a possibility, not a rule.

"Winners will be announced after 2026.10.19 (Mon) 17:00 KST via the MAKESTAR event page," — MAKESTAR, official event listing (source: MAKESTAR)

Before November 7, check these three things on MAKESTAR. First, look at the winner list on the event page once results go up after 17:00 KST on October 19 . Second, check the email and account notices tied to your order, which is where a venue or entry-time message would most likely arrive. Third, look for any update to the event page itself about which ID to bring or the under-14 rule. The event starts at 19:00 Taipei time on Saturday, November 7 , so plan travel only after you have the venue message.

MAKESTAR has worked with ODD YOUTH before. Earlier in 2026, it ran a domestic "GROUP PHOTO&MEET&CALL EVENT" for the group's 2nd single Babyface with paid entry tickets, according to MAKESTAR's past event listings. That Korean event had its own rules, so its pricing and format shouldn't be assumed for the Taipei event. The Taipei photo event is a separate overseas event for the third single.

Who is ODD YOUTH, and what has the group done around this release?

ODD YOUTH (오드유스) is a girl group under TOP Media. The group debuted on November 1, 2024 with the single album "Best Friendz" . Fan reference sources list five members. That count matches the per-member winner numbers on MAKESTAR's Taipei listing, so the Taipei photo event is built around the full five-member lineup (source: Namu Wiki).

Fan reference sources list these members :

• MAIKA: Sugimura Maika
• MYAH: Myah Stephanie Guinn, also written MAYA, a former Girls Planet 999 contestant
• KANIE: Kim Yewon
• SUMMER: Lee Eunseo
• YEEUM: Jung Yeeum

Sources don't all agree on the lineup. The English-language outlet NBN TV Global named only four members (MAYA, MAIKA, KANIE and YEEUM) in its release article . If you plan to bring a specific member's name to a 1:1 Polaroid or Selfie slot, check the member list on the MAKESTAR event page. The fandom name is reported as ODYZ .

[ can't go back ] is the group's third single and its first summer release. The digital single and its music video came out on August 19, 2026 at 6 PM KST, according to the official music video on YouTube . Press coverage describes the title track as bright summer dance-pop, released under TOP Media. Music-show promotions began around August 20, 2026 . The group performed "can't go back" on SBS Inkigayo on September 6, 2026 (source: kpopsource, 2026-09) . The Taipei event comes more than two months after the single's release. It is an overseas event tied to the album, not part of the Korean music-show schedule.

"ODD YOUTH 3rd Single [ can't go back ] (POCAALBUM SLEEVE Ver.) PHOTO EVENT IN TAIPEI," — the event title as listed by MAKESTAR in its PHOTO EVENT section (source: MAKESTAR)

Here's what's confirmed. On November 7, 2026 at 19:00 Taipei time, 65 winners will meet a five-member TOP Media group promoting its August single . The venue, how winners are picked and any entry instructions are still unannounced. If you applied, check the MAKESTAR event page after 17:00 KST on October 19, and use only what MAKESTAR sends to plan your trip to Taipei.
