Idol-turned-actress Hyeri expressed frustration regarding the illegal ticket sales for her upcoming fan meeting.
On April 16, she took to the fan messaging app to express her thoughts.
I’m here. Did you wait long for me? I felt like I had to come on here today. Did you eat lunch today? You must eat something!
This is the first time experiencing something like this so I was a bit shocked, too. I was happy at first hearing that it sold out in one minute, but after seeing that they were sold out due to illegal ticketing, I was so sad and sorry.
Please don’t buy tickets from someone. You can’t enter if the person who bought it and the person coming to the fan meeting is different. It would be so sad to come to the fan meeting and not be able to enter. We are going to check thoroughly!
Another notice will go out about this, but it seems like they are canceling suspicious tickets. I hope that everyone can help so that we can all be together the right way. I won’t let it go lightly to those who use the earnest hearts of people to sell tickets.
They are trying to find a more secure way to go about this so please just trust us and wait! I will also try to work hard to help them. You all must be so sad…I am truly sorry.
Don’t ever buy tickets from those people! Please, promise me! If you buy tickets from them, I think I will be really sad.
Netizens were worried about the fan meeting and hoped they would cancel and rebook the tickets.
- “Hyeri is trying her best, but the agency should just cancel everything and redo the ticket sales. The hackers got into the server before ticketing started, so of course, they sold tickets by moving accounts. How are they going to catch them.”
- “If they do that, then all the seats will be empty? What about Hyeri and the fans…”
- “If they do that, the brokers will make money and the fans won’t be able to attend the show.”
- “Then wouldn’t it just be a fan meeting in an empty venue?”
Meanwhile, she will celebrate her 15th debut anniversary with her first solo fan meeting on June 7. Ticket sales went on sale on April 14 and sold out in just one minute.
