The post quickly received hundreds of angry comments from netizens for the absurd prices.
- “Wow, concert ticket prices are really going to skyrocket now.”
- “That’s seriously lacking basic business ethics—what is this?”
- “Wow, that’s way too expensiveㅠㅠ But it’ll still sell out, right?ㅠㅠ”
- “Looks like they’ve completely lost their conscience.”
- “It’s expensive, but since it’s a 360-degree stage, I’m kind of excited—feels like the production will be huge.”
- “Wow… this is excessive.”
- “Isn’t this bad even for fans??? It’s insanely expensive…”
- “It’s wild that people are defending this… wouldn’t it be good if prices went down? Why are people saying not to blame HYBE? Genuinely confused.”
