“Queen Of Tears” Kim Ji Won Sparks Upset With Her Upcoming Fanmeet Venue

Controversy is brewing among actress Kim Ji Won‘s fans, popularly known for her recent hit drama Queen of Tears, due to the limited seating at her upcoming fan meeting.

Scheduled for June 22 in Seoul’s Shinhan Card SOLpay Square Live Hall, the event marks her first solo engagement with fans after a 14-year career, but the 400-seat capacity has not sat well with her followers. Fans have taken to social media to voice their concerns, with comments ranging from urging Kim to “read the room” to calls for increasing the seat numbers to avoid leaving many without a chance to attend.

• “Kim Ji Won needs to read the room.”
• “Please increase the number of seats…”
• “This means I won’t get a spot again.”

This milestone fanmeet for Kim, titled BE MY ONE, is intended as a heartfelt interaction between her and her fans, aiming to create a sense of unity. Despite this positive intention, the excitement has been overshadowed by the venue’s size, which many consider too small given her substantial fan base.

The decision on the venue size was based on extensive demand surveys by the organizers, and Kim Ji Won’s management, High Sound Studio, reportedly deliberated carefully before finalizing details. However, the ongoing dissatisfaction among fans suggests that additional events might be necessary to accommodate the high demand.

Kim has built a formidable reputation with her compelling performances in various acclaimed dramas such as The Heirs, Descendants of the Sun, and Fight for My Way. She most recently starred as the female lead in Queen of Tears, which set record-breaking viewership ratings for tvN.

In anticipation of the event, Kim even shared her enthusiasm through High Sound Studio’s official YouTube channel, promising fans an intimate and memorable experience. However, it remains to be seen whether the actress and her management will address the venue controversy before releasing additional ticket information.
