‘You almost feel like you are preparing for an exam or going into battle,’ a K-pop fan says
For countless Armys, the official fandom of the global K-pop phenomenon, the excitement of finally seeing BTS return to Kuala Lumpur this December has quickly turned into anxiety over whether genuine fans will once again lose out to profiteers.
Diehard BTS fan Lily Lim, 21, said anxiety among fans had been building even before ticket sales officially opened.
“Seeing all this news about insiders allegedly selling tickets at inflated prices before the actual sales is honestly so frustrating and unfair,” Lim said.
“It feels like Armys are being targeted for profit. Ever since the Asia tour prices were announced last Friday, I have not had peace of mind because I already knew how difficult getting these tickets would be.”
