/Article


Last week, Hyeri made public the launch of her inaugural solo fan meeting tour. Her agency, Sublime, revealed details of the '2025 HYERI FANMEETING TOUR: Welcome to HYERI’s STUDIO' via social media, with the tour scheduled to start in Seoul on June 7 before heading to six other major cities in Asia.

Ticket sales for the Seoul leg of the event began on April 15, but faced complications as fans encountered difficulties securing tickets. Allegations surfaced that Chinese bots had swiftly purchased all 1,400 seats for the fan meeting, with Korean fans expressing outrage over this situation. Fans took to social media to voice their frustrations, pointing out the lack of ticket availability for Korean supporters and implicating Chinese scalpers in the ticketing debacle. Suggestions were made to relocate the event to a larger venue and implement a revised ticketing process to prioritize Korean fans. Criticisms were aired regarding the vulnerability of the ticketing site to hacking and the need to block overseas purchasers to prevent such issues from recurring. Fans urged the agency to take action, including possibly invalidating purchased tickets obtained through unfair means.
