IU, Lim Young Woong, ”DAVICHI”...Can illegal ticket trading be eradicated?

While illegal ticket transactions (resale and scalpers) are rampant, stars are also actively working to eradicate illegal ticket transactions. However, some say that more substantive measures are needed.
ing. Recently, singer IU announced that in preparation for the fan concert "I+UN1VER5E" in September, in order to crack down on fraudulent ticket transactions, if fraudulent transactions are discovered, the fan club will be permanently suspended.
We have taken strong measures such as expulsion and forced withdrawal from the official fan cafe. IU has been taking measures against fraudulent ticket transactions at every performance. As part of this effort, we are promoting the “Ticket AmenO” campaign among fans.
A method called ``sa'' has become a hot topic. Anyone who discovers a fraudulent transaction will be rewarded with a seat on a canceled ticket. If you find one in advance, you will also receive merchandise.

I was so frustrated and sorry. We will continue to be more careful and take measures." "First of all, please provide us with information regarding the illegally traded tickets for this performance.
Yes. Thanks to the information provided by everyone, the tickets they obtained will be cancelled. I can't leave it alone," and added, "I'm truly sorry. Thank you."
I got it. Under these circumstances, on the 17th, during a national audit of organizations related to the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of the National Assembly Culture, Sports, and Tourism Committee, Rep. Ryu Ho-jeong of the Justice Party was found to be a member of the Korea Creative Content Agency's illegal ticket trading center.

"Although the number of complaints received by the tax return center is increasing day by day, only zero cases have been properly addressed." In response, Cho Hyun-rae, director of the Korea Content Agency, said, ``This year's public
"With the amendment to the Act, a law has been established that will allow administrative or enforcement measures to be taken against fraudulent ticket transactions from March next year," he said, adding that measures will be put in place even before the amendment.
In this way, stars are taking the lead in eradicating illegal ticket transactions, but in the end, they rely on reports from fans and no effective countermeasures are being taken.
It was also revealed that Despite the management office and organizers doing their best to monitor illegal ticket transactions, there are limits to overall control. What will happen in the future?
It will be interesting to see if a substantive proposal is produced.
