Fans React To Alleged Scalper Reselling Insider Tickets To NCT DREAM's KL Concert
It seems that fans of a K-pop group may be facing a similar situation. One scalper has allegedly claimed to be reselling insider tickets to NCT DREAM (엔시티 드림)'s upcoming concert in Kuala Lumpur, despite the fact that official ticketing details have yet to be released. Here's what happened:
As many fans will know, NCT DREAM are set to perform in Kuala Lumpur this December as part of their 'The Dream Show 4: Dream The Future' tour. Earlier this week, a Twitter user discovered that an alleged scalper from Indonesia was reselling insider tickets to the upcoming concert via Instagram Story, though the individual's username had been cropped out. According to the screenshot, the scalper claimed to be selling VIP standing tickets.
As the official ticketing details have yet to be announced, the fan was understandably baffled as to how the scalper had managed to obtain the passes. This has raised suspicions that the individual may be an insider themselves, or at least connected to someone within the event's organising team. As expected, the post instantly went viral with many calling out Live Nation Malaysia, urging them to explain if this is true or if the scalper was simply trying to scam fans.
Others requested that the Twitter user expose the scalper so they can be reported. Some have also urged the organiser not to follow in the footsteps of another local company that was previously accused of prioritising foreign attendees. At the time of writing, Live Nation Malaysia has yet to address the issue regarding the alleged scalper and the supposed insider ticket.
The alleged scalper, however, who has now been identified, has since set their account to private following the exposure. Hopefully, this is simply another case of a scalper attempting to scam fans into purchasing a non-existent ticket. It wouldn't be the first time, as something similar occurred when BIGBANG's Taeyang announced his concert. What do you think?

HK actor Bosco Wong says he's still single because of his mum
Despite having no luck in the romance department, Hong Kong actor Bosco Wong made it clear that he's perfectly content flying solo. Photo: Bosco Wong/Instagram Popular Hong Kong actor Bosco Wong has not publicly dated anyone since ending his eight-year relationship with fellow actress Myolie Wu in 2012. While Wu, 45, married businessman Philip Lee in 2015 and is a proud mother of three, Wong – more than a decade later – has yet to find luck in the romance department. In a recent interview, the 44-year-old actor revealed that his continued single status is largely due to his mother, who has a knack for driving potential suitors away. 'My mum loves chasing my girlfriends away. She does that even when we're all having a meal together. Nobody can tolerate that as time passes,' he said, as per Singaporean news portal 8days. Wong added that once his mother spots something she dislikes about his partner, she doesn't hold back – even resorting to cussing in front of them to make her point. The Forensic Heroes V (2022) star even had to apologise to his partners for his mother's antics on multiple occasions. Eventually, he gave up on introducing them altogether. 'It's better now. No marriage… It drives my mother insane!' he joked. Despite having no success with love, Wong isn't losing sleep over it. In fact, he's content with bachelorhood, enjoying the freedom and peace that comes with it. 'I don't have to worry about leaving an inheritance and can spend whatever I earn however I want,' he added with a laugh.
