To many fans, being able to meet their favorite artists is a dream come true. However, getting concert tickets often poses to be a challenging task, especially when the artist in question is the world-famous BLACKPINK. The girl group has an immense global following, and when tickets to their concerts go on sale, they tend to sell out in seconds.
Accordingly, the struggle was real for one fanboy, who tried to secure tickets to the Kaohsiung of BLACKPINK’s ongoing world tour. It is known that the stop even added restricted view seats and audio only seats – where audiences cannot see the stage at all, yet tickets still got sold out.
In the end, despite the BLACKPINK fanboy’s efforts, he couldn’t purchase tickets during the initial ticket sale, and had to buy them from scalpers. Though he managed to find relatively inexpensive tickets, he still had to pay more than the original price.
The fanboy was thrilled to have secured his tickets, and shared his experience on media platform TikTok, quickly gaining huge attention.
In particular, in the now-viral TikTok video, the fanboy revealed how excited he was, only for the enthusiasm to be extremely short-lived, since he received an enlistment notice the very next day.
“I was supposed to see BLACKPINK on March 18th. I have to enlist on March 12th. How am I supposed to see them now? Is Jennie going to visit me at the base?”, the fanboy lamented about the timing in a joking manner, causing everyone to laugh.
Seeing his unfortunate story, many BLACKPINK fans expressed their sympathy and support. One comment from a netizen, however, gave him renewed hope.
According to the comment, the fanboy could attend the concert as long as he enlisted on March 12th and was granted leave after 6PM on March 17th.
However, this joy was also dashed, as other netizens pointed out that there was no vacation in the first week of enlistment, and visits were only allowed during the second week.
Despite the setback, the fanboy remained optimistic and grateful for the support he received from the BLACKPINK fan community.
