On February 16, the free hug event was canceled due to an overwhelming number of fans who showed up. Even though it had to be canceled, a lucky group of 270 fans will be given tickets to have picture and coffee time with Seo Kang Jun at the rescheduled event in the future.

An extra 270 tickets will be distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis on February 23, which is the postponed date of the event. A total of 540 fans will be able to spend time with Seo Kang Jun. Due to the limited number of available spots, people have started selling and buying tickets on SNS. Prices range from a low of $50 to $200. 

Fantagio Entertainment announced, "We have received the news that the event tickets are going on sale at inflated prices. You will not be able to enter the event if we find proof that your ticket was obtained in an unethical way." They also added, "We apology for the availability as we had to set limits for safety reasons."

Seo Kang Jun's free hug event will take place on February 23, and the location will be announced in the near future. It is rare for such event tickets to sell at such inflated rates. 

Ticket holders are hoping that the event will actually happen with no trouble.
