IVE's first world tour ticket prices for the Seoul concert spark outrage online! Netizens unanimously point at HYBE as the main culprit!

Since their debut, the popular girl group IVE has been sweeping the K-POP scene with their fiery popularity. Every time they hold a fan meeting, tickets always sell out at the speed of light. Recently, there were rumors that they were going to hold their first world tour concert in Seoul, which originally excited fans, but the release of the ticket prices angered netizens.

Recently, the management company Starship announced through IVE's official SNS that the first world tour "SHOW WHAT I HAVE" will be held from October 7th to 8th at the Seoul Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium.

Starship also announced that the second show in Seoul (on the 8th) will be broadcasted live on the global platform 'Beyond LIVE' for global fans who are unable to attend.

The ticket prices for the Seoul leg of the world tour have been set at 198,000 won for VIP seats and 154,000 won for regular seats. Fans have posted these ticket prices on online discussion boards, sparking a number of complaints.

Despite Starship's considerate offer of live streaming services, the expensive ticket prices have caused a wave of complaints in the online communities. Comments pour in saying, "Wow! 200,000? Are they crazy?", "Super extremely expensive", "Guess I can't go, it's too expensive", "Please control the concert prices, if it continues like this, there's really no need to go".
