Yuqi from the girl group (G)I-DLE faced backlash for her displeasure in having to personally buy concert tickets for her friends. In a recent episode of the YouTube show "The day we’ve been waiting so long for has finally come | EP. 90 (G)I-DLE Minnie, Yuqi," Jang Do Yeon mentioned that Minnie spent 10 million won to invite about 100 acquaintances to the concert. Yuqi shared about a dedicated 'Minnie Zone' at their Thailand concerts, filled with Minnie's acquaintances. She expressed frustration over having to purchase extra tickets at their expense beyond the four complimentary ones they receive. Jang Do Yeon humorously suggested adding this issue to their contract renewal, which they had forgotten to do. Fans criticized their comments, highlighting the disconnect between them and regular fans who purchase their tickets. The video circulated online, with netizens expressing disappointment and questioning the group's understanding of their fans' perspectives.
