K-Pop Idol’s Honest Reaction To His Group’s Low Ticket Sales Gains Attention

When a group is announced to be going on tour, fans are usually thrilled at the opportunity to see their favorite idols in person. For groups with a larger fan base, the biggest concern for fans is getting the desired ticket.

One concern for groups or idols with smaller fan bases is selling enough tickets for the tour to continue.

Recently, a member of a boy group reacted to his group’s low ticket sales.

Back in September 2024, it was announced that boy group 8TURN would embark on a North American tour, with concert tickets going on sale shortly after.

The final date of the tour in San Francisco was shown to have a number of tickets available before the show, something that was noticed by member Jaeyun.

In a TikTok shared on the group’s account, Jaeyun shows himself edited over a screenshot of the venue’s sales with a caption about how he should have listened to his mom about becoming a K-Pop idol.

He then transitions to a video of himself on stage at the concert, saying that he was kidding and that he loved his life and fans.

Many reacted to the video with supportive messages, along with promises to buy tickets for the group’s upcoming European tour.
