The South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has labeled ticket scalping as a 'social evil' and aims to tackle the issue. Despite efforts, online scalping remains rampant, with tickets for the 'NCT WISH' concert being sold at five times their original price. The government faces criticism for inadequate measures, with only one person dedicated to combatting scalping at the Korea Content Agency. Reports show a dramatic increase in scalping incidents, yet only a small percentage of reports lead to action due to the difficulty in proving unlawful ticket procurement. Calls for increased personnel and real-time monitoring are being made to address this problem effectively.
