As expected, ticketing for IU’s shows hasn’t been easy. And, even if you have a ticket, there may be a chance that you won’t be allowed in.

Now, there is even a case where an actor got into the concert with a legally purchased ticket but ended up facing harassment from netizens because he didn’t do fanchants.

When news spread that Kaiko was in attendance, netizens quickly assumed he didn’t pay for his tickets and got in through connections since it was extremely difficult for the general public to score tickets through regular means. This prompted Kaiko’s dad to post a picture of their tickets, clearly showing they paid the regular price.

Friend: Kaiko is sitting behind me.
OP: Does he know how to do fanchants…
Friend: No, he’s been pretty quiet.– OP’s chat
Other netizens were also unimpressed.
- “The background music was even louder than the fanchants. I’m so mad.”
- “I saw a bunch of influencers and celebrities go in…^_^”
- “F*ck, a bunch of fake fans.”
- “Many celebrities attended just to post about it on social media. Meanwhile, I couldn’t f*cking get in. I’m so pissed off.”
Eventually, Kaiko made posts addressing netizens’ accusations.

It’s not nearly enough to simply like your acting and performance! So it turns out, to like and admire someone…
I’ve got lots to learn! Sorry! I’ll put in a great effort to learn!

Netizen: Start learning fanchants from now on. I like you, and I also like IU
Kaiko: I didn’t know this was required to see the idol of your dreams! Sorry! I’ll learn.
