[All] Lim Young-woong concert ticket prices soared to 5 million won… and a ‘super rain’ was unleashed

Although the current Performance Act and National Sports Promotion Act provide grounds for sanctions against ticket scalping, there have been criticisms that the effectiveness of the act is low because it can only punish cases where macros are used.

Late last year, the price of online tickets for singer Lim Young-woong's concert exceeded 5 million won. The practice of taking advantage of loopholes in the current law to secure seats using macro programs and then reselling them on used ticket platforms to make a profit is becoming more specialized and organized.

Accordingly, going forward, the policy is to criminally punish the act of reselling tickets by adding a premium to them, regardless of whether or not macros are used.
