Park Bo Gum is taking matters into his own hands to fight ticket scalpers ahead of his upcoming fan meeting in Seoul. The star personally called out illegal resellers on his own social media, forcing them to promptly delete their listings.
The issue began after tickets for the final Seoul performance of his fan meeting tour went on sale. Intense demand from fans led to a “ticket war,” and scalpers immediately began listing seats online at hugely inflated prices, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands of dollars above face value.
After becoming aware of the scalping, Park Bo Gum took a screenshot of a reseller’s post advertising specific seat numbers for sale. On Monday, he shared the image on his own social media, simply adding a detective emoji.
The move worked. The scalpers, apparently realizing they’d been publicly exposed by the actor himself, quickly deleted their posts.
The high-stakes cat-and-mouse game is over tickets for the October 11th event at Korea University’s Hwajeong Tiger Dome which fans have been desperately trying to attend.
Meanwhile, Park Bo Gum is continuing the international leg of his tour, with upcoming stops in Monterrey, Mexico City, São Paulo and Santiago later this month.
