Singer IU is holding a concert for the first time in three years, and the agency has taken a strong response to a case that is believed to have been made through illegal means.
IU's agency EDAM Entertainment's official SNS today (11th) shared her fan cafe notice with the article "Guidelines for ticket cancellation for illegal performances".
The management company said, "We would like to inform you that we have taken the following actions in accordance with our policy, which has informed us about a total of 4 reservations confirmed as fraudulent ticket reservations."
The policy of illegal ticket transaction announced by the management company in advance includes, if the purchaser or purchaser is a member of IU's fan club, △ permanent expulsion from IU's official fan club and forced withdrawal from the official fan cafe △ permanent restrictions on the use of Melon Ticket (official reservation site) ID.

The 4 buyers who were found to be illegally pre-ordered purchased tickets on the 8th through the fan club pre-sale, which was only open to IU's official fandom, 'Uena'.
The agency added to them, "If you want an explanation among the above-named members, please contact us individually by e-mail with supporting documents attached."
The agency announced in the notice that it would take strict measures against illegal reservations, adding a strong detailed clause in the notice that "the seat will be canceled without prior notice for any case that is considered to be an illegal reservation or transaction for any reason."

In addition, the agency has created a fair reservation culture by receiving reports of 'fraudulent transactions' in which tickets are resold by adding an additional amount, and by providing concert goods and concert tickets for one accompanying person to the informant as a reward.
Netizens who confirmed the fraudulent ticket cancellation process commented, "Permanent expulsion from the fan club, forcible withdrawal is really great", "The company does a really good job", "The response is quick and quick. I hope our singer company will also imitate", "I hope the conscience of those who trade illegally will be stabbed." " and so on.
IU's concert 'The Golden Hour: Under the Orange Sun' will be held on September 17 and 18 at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul Jamsil Sports Complex to coincide with IU's debut date, September 18.
General reservations for the concert will be held through Melon Ticket from 8pm today.
