BTS fans denounced chaos, reselling and threats during the official merchandise sale that began on May 6 outside Estadio GNP Seguros. Resellers bought large quantities and confronted ARMY members who complained about the situation. The official sale continues until May 10 with restrictions.
The official BTS merchandise sale began at 10:00 a.m. on May 6 and will run until Sunday, May 10. According to fan reports on social media, people entered as early as 8:30 a.m. to buy dozens of T-shirts and other items that were later packed into transparent bags.
ARMY members complained about the situation and were confronted. A TikTok user identified as La Coide livestreamed and stated that the resellers mocked them. Others reported that one man threatened to hit them and another in a gray hoodie intimidated them.
The alleged resellers took the merchandise to a white truck, of which the fans took photos of the license plates. Workers denied that it was reselling and said they were only organizing the products. BIGHIT MUSIC had informed that the sale of pirated items is not allowed, so authorized stands were set up with a limit of one piece per item and a maximum of 10 albums per person.
