A young woman who scammed fans with fake K-pop concert tickets received her sentence.

On November 5, judge Song Joong Ho�of Busan District Court announced the 23-year-old woman has been sentenced to 10 months of penal servitude for the�scam.�

For 7 months starting from December 2017, the woman made online posts claiming she has concert tickets for various artists including�BTS, EXO, Shinhwa, Na Hoon Ah, and more. She sold the fake concert tickets a total of 63 times and obtained a profit of�11,140,000 KRW (9,900 USD).�



One of the victims is a Malaysian fan, who flew over to Korea to attend Shinhwa's concert. The fan paid 220,000 KRW (196 USD) for the fake tickets.�
