Controversial Boy Group’s Shocking Ticket Sales Invite Ridicule

Fifth-generation boy group ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s upcoming concert has become a hot topic, and not for good reasons.

The boy group is set to hold their fan concert, 2026 ALPHA DRIVE ONE FANCON TOUR, from June 12 to June 14 at Incheon’s Inspire Arena. While the buzz around the concert was at its peak after the announcement, many netizens now feel that the group might have miscalculated the demand.

A viral Instiz post shared screenshots from the ticketing website, showing that the majority of seats on the second and third floors were still empty.

These photos have sparked a heated debate about who to blame for these low sales. While some blamed recent controversies involving certain members, others felt the management was responsible.

• “The company dragged its feet for way too long. You just have to accept that you’ve lost fans right now.”
• “What a total disaster. Tsk tsk. We told you—they really should have listened to the fans’ feedback and acted on it immediately.”
• “I had no idea that they were this unpopular.”

• “They dragged things out for so long over that whole Geonwoo situation, leaving the fans completely exhausted. What are we supposed to do when the company is basically putting on a show just to fleece the fans?”
• “Still, all the fans who want to go will probably end up going.”
