DBSK Concert – sudden price increase for tickets

‘A few days ago the price tickets for the Shanghai concert suddenly went up catching the fans off guard. The organisation explained that because changes had to be made for the stage, production costs increased resulting in the price change for the tickets. However, the fans don’t understand why the most important – stage design – would change now, just as tickets are about to go on sale.

Fans claim that it appears prices are getting cut, but in reality, they’re ‘stealing’ money.

On the 31st of May, DBSK will be holding their concert in Shanghai. Because of the number of fans, demand for tickets exceeded earlier expectations. Some fans were afraid they could not get desired seats so, in groups, they ordered their tickets and remitted money in hopes of getting seats close to the stage.

Tickets are supposed to be on sale on the 2nd of April. Fans were highly anticipating this day but then an accident occurred. The organisation announced on the 26th of March the price changes which would occur.

[assuming these are in RMB Yuan]

From 1880 -> 1580 { I think this is the mosh}
1280 -> 980 { ” ” }

180 -> 280 {’proper’ seats ie not close to stage}
380 -> 480
480 -> 680
580 -> 980 [so now these seats are the same price as the ones close to the stage]’

Kangta: “TVXQ not given the credit…"

Kangta’s guesting in KBS Cool FM “Yoon Do Hyun’s Music Show” last March 26 was a fun and touching one.

The fun part was when the staff made an on-air call with TVXQ without Kangta initially knowing who was really on the phone. U-Know was actually on the phone but changed his voice and impersonated a hardcore Kangta fan.

“Who are you and where are you from?” asked Kangta.

“I’m Kim Won Joong from Incheon,” U-Know said, without Kangta noticing who he was really talking to. When U-Know eventually made himself known, Kangta was overjoyed.

It was also during this radio show’s episode that Kangta praised TVXQ’s abilities and expressed that TVXQ is better than H.O.T.

“TVXQ is not being given the credit they deserve because they’re seen as an idol group.”

When Yoon Do Hyun asked what kind of a senior Kangta is, TVXQ answered, “Like a father. It’s very reassuring that we’ve got a senior who’s like a father but it’s really sad that he’ll be going to the army.”

Before enlisting on April 1, Kangta is going to hold concerts on the 29th and 30th.

SS501 Vs TVXQ

SS501 who has recently returned to the K-Pop scene has been creating quite a movement. These boys have returned with upgraded aesthetics and are now well-equipped to "figh" head-on with TVXQ.

SS501 who had a very successful run in Japan, still trailed behind TVXQ's massive popularity. The reason they give was that TVXQ had debuted 2 years earlier than them in Japan, however SS501 has promised to give TVXQ beating some competition within the next 2 years.
