K-Pop concerts are becoming increasingly popular globally, with ticket sales rising by over 110% in a year. However, South Korea faces challenges with inadequate infrastructure and a thriving scalper market. Only five venues in the country can host indoor concerts for over 10,000 people, while Japan and the U.S. have far more. The lack of venues leads to intense ticket competition and soaring scalper prices, as seen with NCT's concert tickets selling for 40 times their original price. Calls are growing for government intervention to expand concert infrastructure and regulate ticket sales.
