Lim Young-woong, Encore Concert Tickets Available from the 20th... 'Picketing' Anticipated
Busan on the 20th and Seoul on the 27th at 8 PM Yes24 Ticket
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Singer Lim Young-woong's nationwide tour encore concert 'IM HERO' ticket opening schedule has been announced.
According to Lim Young-woong's agency, Mulgogi Music, tickets for the 'IM HERO' encore concert in Busan will go on sale at 8 PM on the 20th, and tickets for the Seoul concert will be available from 8 PM on the 27th via Yes24.
The 'IM HERO' Busan concert will be held from December 2 to 4 at BEXCO in Busan. The Seoul concert will take place on December 10 and 11 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul.
After completing his nationwide tour schedule, Lim Young-woong announced the encore concert dates, raising expectations among fans, including the Hero Era (Lim Young-woong's fandom name), fueled by his immense popularity.
Previously, Lim Young-woong's nationwide tour concerts sold out all seats across 21 shows in 7 cities, resulting in fierce ticket battles, so intense competition for tickets is also expected for this encore concert.
During the last nationwide tour concert, Lim Young-woong received criticism to "get the point." Although the phrase might seem like a criticism of Lim Young-woong, the underlying message was a loving expression from fans who felt that due to his overwhelming popularity, holding concerts in relatively small venues caused ticketing to become a so-called "picketing" (ticket-picking) frenzy.
In fact, during Lim Young-woong's last Seoul concert, the peak traffic at ticket opening reached as high as 810,000. The waiting time also exceeded 153 hours, proving his immense popularity.
Lim Young-woong himself even confirmed on SNS, "I also failed to book tickets for my own concert." The Seoul concert was held at the KSPO DOME (Olympic Gymnastics Arena) in Songpa-gu, Seoul, with a capacity of 10,000 seats. Over three days, 30,000 seats were contested by 810,000 people, resulting in an effective ticket competition ratio of 27 to 1.
