I wish it were super simple to join the fancafe, but from our experience in creating an account and joining the fancafe for HOTTEST 3rd, it's not as simple as it seems!

However, there is a process that you just have to be patient with and keep trying until you get approved!  I really really wish we could do a $$ transfer project for the fees so that it is affordable for all of us, but it seems that Big Hit is now allowing this at all. :(  

If you have any questions or issues, we'll try our best to help you, just leave a question either in the SBOX or in the comments.  Can't guarantee that we'll always have a solution, but we will at the very least try!

GOOD LUCK everyone! ^^


===========================


There are 3 steps!  For step #2, there is a 2a, 2b, and 2c.  Please only do either 2a or 2b.  Only do 2c if 2a or 2b do not work for you! ^^

IF you have any questions, although I can't guarantee that we can answer it, please leave them on this thread (when we did Hottest 3, a lot of people helped each other out) or leave your questions in the sbox.  It's helpful to leave screencaps when you ask questions so that we can see what you're dealing with! ^^

?HOW TO CREATE A DAUM ACCOUNT?
How to join the official I AM Fan Cafe - part 1 / 3

There are many steps we must take to join the I AM Fan Cafe! Step #1 is to create a Daum account!  


STEP #1: Go to DAUM.NET.  Click on "????".

STEP #2: Click on "?? ??"

STEP #3: Checkmark the boxes on each agreement, then click on the blue button to accept.

STEP #4: Here's the fun stuff! ^^ Fill in your information~!

• For your username, be sure that it's in all lowercase, otherwise it won't accept your name.  
• Be sure to put your full name in the name box because in the next part of this 4 part tutorial, you will have to verify your name. For your email address, choose "????" from the dropdown menu. This will allow you to write in your own email address. (i.e. missnakaji@2oneday.com, etc).  
• Click the box next to the email address line. This will send a confirmation email to that email address with a number. It should look like this ---> click for preview.
• Check your email within a couple of minutes. It will most likely go straight to your spam folder, so be sure to check there!
• *this step does not appear in the screencap* A box should appear below the email address line. Type in the number from the confirmation email and click the button next to it.
• *this step does not appear in the screencap* Then, the Captcha should pop up. Type the letters/numbers in exactly as they appear in the box. Click the button to the right to confirm.
• Then, click the blue button below to complete the process!

STEP #5: If you've done everything correctly, you should see a screen that looks like this~

Once you've completed this process, you can move on to STEP 2! Confirming your identity!! ^^

=====================================

If you have any issues, please SCREENCAP what windows pop up for you when you have issues and we will try our best to help you. Ask your questions here or in the SBOX and I will answer them when I have time! ^^

?HOW TO CONFIRM YOUR IDENTITY ON DAUM?
How to join the official I AM Fan Cafe - part 2a / 3

Big thank you to Miyuki0610 for figuring this step out!!!!

Alrighty, got your Daum account up and running? GREAT! But since we're foreigners and do not have a Korean Social Security Number (KSSN), Daum needs to confirm our identities in a different way.  So login to your Daum account and let's go!

STEP #1: Head back to DAUM.NET, scroll to the footer and click on "????"

Then click on "????"

Then click on "????"

STEP #2: Now it's time to fill out an inquiry to customer service!

• First, select "?? ??" (other inquiries)
• Then, your username should be in the "???" box.
• In the "??(??)", try putting in your real name. If you get a warning box later on that tells you that your name is invalid, leave this line completely blank and submit.
• For your email address, just have it sent directly to your Daum email (even if you put something different, it sends it there anyways.. ><)
• In the "??" line, write:  ?? ??? ???. This means "regarding personal identification"
• In the "??" box, write: ?????.?? ??? ????. ?? ??? ? ??? ????. ? ????????. ?????! This is just asking them to verify your identity with your passport/ID photos.
• Scan your passport (make sure your name and photo are visible). For good measure, I also scanned my driver's license in one photo. (some alternative government issued ID is perfectly fine)
• Upload it in the next line that says "??".
• Once it's uploaded, check the box below and then click on "??".

STEP #3: Receipt of confirmation from Daum Customer Service

Daum Customer service should send you an email saying that they have received your inquiry and they will respond to you ASAP. It should look like this:

You will most likely not receive this email right away. For me, I didn't get this email until a day later, for others only a couple of hours.  Just be patient.



STEP #4: Confirmation of your identity from Daum Customer Service

Once Customer Service approves you, you should get an email that looks like this to your Daum.net email~

For me, I didn't get my approval until 2, almost 3 days later. Some received it quicker than this. It just depends! So give it time and be patient!

?HOW TO CONFIRM YOUR IDENTITY ON DAUM CAFE?
How to join the official I AM Fan Cafe - part 2b / 3

Big thank you to Miyuki0610 for figuring this step out also!!!!

Alrighty, got your Daum account up and running? GREAT! But since we're foreigners and do not have a Korean Social Security Number (KSSN), Daum needs to confirm our identities in a different way.  So login to your Daum account and let's go!


ONLY DO EITHER STEP 2a or 2b!!!


STEP #1: Go to the 2AM Fan Cafe and scroll way down to the bottom. Click on "?? ????" (Cafe Customer Service Center).

Then, click on the button "????? ????"

STEP #2: Now we're in the Cafe Customer Service Center! Time to fill out the form again~~

• For "????", select "??????" from the dropdown menu.
• For "?? ??", write in your Daum username@hanmail.net (this is your Daum email address)
• For "??", write in "?? ??? ???"
• For "??", write in "?? ??????. ??? ???? ?? ???, ?? ??? ?????. ?????, ????? ??? ?????. ?????! <write your full name as it should appear on your ID/passport>"
• Upload a photo of your passport and/or government issued ID! (scan or take a clear photo of, as long as it's readable!)
• Click on ?? to send the message!

STEP #3: Confirmation of your identity from Daum Cafe Customer Service

Once Customer Service approves you, you should get an email that looks like this to your Daum.net email~

For me, I didn't get my approval until 2, almost 3 days later. Some received it quicker than this. It just depends! So give it time and be patient!

Hopefully it works for you this time! :)

?HOW TO CONFIRM YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON DAUM?
How to join the official I AM Fan Cafe - part 2c / 3

Thank you so much to Caitlin aka BacktoBobby for figuring this out. This seems to be the problem for some of you that have sent in your passports/IDs to be verified, but you still get some kind of other rejection email from Daum.  

If you get a rejection letter that is telling you to verify your email address or something along those lines, then that's exactly what you have to do! Whatever email address you used to create your Daum account, you need to verify this on your profile. (WHY? I have no idea.... ~__~).  So let's get to it~

STEP #1: Go to DAUM.NET. Login and click on your username to view your profile.

hehe that's my username xD


STEP #2: Click on ?????? (profile management)

STEP #3: Type in your password again

STEP #4: Now, we have to verify the email address that you signed up with. NOT your Daum.net/Hanmail account, but the email that you used to sign up. Sooo, click on the button below your username

A box should pop up and looks like this:

Type in your email address. You should receive an email (be sure to check your spam folder just in case...). Click on the link that you get in the email to verify.

After this step is done, go ahead and try to verify your identity again *using either tutorial 2a or 2b* including your passport and everything. In the message this time though, be sure to put your non Daum email address at the bottom of the message.  

========================

This method worked for Caitlin and a few others that I shared her method with, so I hope that this works for you! I know it's frustrating and I give all of you *high fives* for sticking with it and trying!!! *tosses bags of dried mangoes around*.

?HOW TO JOIN THE I AM FAN CAFE?
How to join the official I AM Fan Cafe - part 3 / 3

Now that your Daum account is created AND verified, you can join the I AM fan cafe! :)  Beware, everything is in Korean and it'd be a wise idea to tread lightly here and not use english very frequently either.  You will have limited access at this point, so even though you've joined the cafe, you still need to level up.  I don't have a tutorial for that yet, but I too still need to level up so I'll try to make one this month! ><

STEP #1: Join the fan cafe~!

Click on the black button on the left hand-side that says "?? ????"

• For "???", this going to be your cafe username. You can leave it the same as your Daum account, or you can change it (english or Korean, either one~).
• For "????", you can check the box or not. This is if you want to receive email from the fancafe (to your Daum account email)
• For "????", write the Captcha in the box!
• And click "??" when you're done!

You should see a screen popup that looks like this! (sorry, I don't have a screencap specifically for the I AM fancafe bcuz I joined it a long time ago lol ><;)

You're in! You can roam around, although not all threads will be visible to you.

[ohthatlove]

Just a tip for those who are going to send your confirmation email to Big Hit.
You guys need to attach a pic of your telegraphic transfer of the amount transferred along with the email.
(A pic would suffice, but of course the best thing is to attach a scan of the receipt)
Please fail in the [..../..../....] format too!

[Julieth]

HI, thank you for tutoring. I registered successfully.
And I have one question. Can I join both 2AM fancafe and 2PM fancafe?
Can I be IAM and also be Hottest in Daum?

[millie9]

Hiiii Thanks for the step to step i will try it noww!!!

[yaywestwick]

wow! this is really helpful! thanks a lot! I've been looking for the tutorial like , since idk when ><
Thank you, really! ^^

[Mrs.KHUN♥geniality]

Really!!! It's my first time seeing a detailed tutorial for registering on Daum Cafe! Thank you for this step by step process! But still, I have some question: How to level up on the cafe?? I think leveling up is very important for me to see the whole discussions/threads there. I still don't have any access to some threads and I think it says that I'm still just a newbie. I saw there some rankings(?) but I don't know how to become one of those. :(
