On the 14th, Lee Young-ji posted on her SNS, "Let's not do something like this by paying more money for tickets that have already been sold. If you bought them, people would come to see them," she said. "And cancellation tickets are released around 2:10 a.m. every day. For those who are looking for a job hunting." “Go go early in the morning,” he wrote.
At the same time, he said, "And I don't know if you know it or not, but I'm also a Twitter (X) user and can see everything. I'll cancel it myself," and captured the scalper's post that came up by searching his name on Twitter (X).
Youngji Lee will hold a solo concert 'LEE YOUNGJI 1st ASIA TOUR 'THE MAIN CHARACTER' in SEOUL' at the Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on February 17th and 18th. Youngji Lee raised her voice for the fans who were stamping their feet due to ticket scalping while all tickets were sold out.
Recently, Jang Beom-jun also became a hot topic after facing the issue of ticket scalping. At the end of last year, Beomjun Jang held a small theater concert at Club On Air in Hongdae, Seoul, and because it was a small concert with 50 seats, ticket sales were fierce. As expected, ticket scalping was rampant, and Jang Beom-jun canceled all ticket reservations, verified identity through ID only for applicants, and chose to purchase tickets through audience drawings to eradicate ticket scalping.
Lim Young-woong, who has strong ticket power, Sung Si-kyung, and IU also recognized the seriousness of the ticket scalping problem and issued a warning to scalpers. At the same time, the agency also took steps to eradicate ticket scalping, such as permanent expulsion from the fan club and forced ticket cancellation if caught while engaging in ticket scalping.
