With a huge buzz surrounding god's (g.o.d) 2024 solo concert, 'CHAPTER 0,' the organizers are taking tough measures to combat ticket scalping.

On September 5, the organizers shared a message on god’s official SNS, saying, "To ensure everyone can enjoy 'CHAPTER 0' from September 27 to 29 and to promote a fair ticketing process, please avoid illegal ticket transactions. We are actively monitoring for any fraudulent activities."

Tickets bought from unauthorized sources or with extra fees outside of the official booking platform (Interpark Tickets) could be canceled without notice if found to be illegal. The organizers warned that even if you have the tickets on the day of the event, you might be denied entry if the tickets are deemed invalid, and strict measures will be taken.

They also advised against sharing ticket booking information or personal details with others, as this could lead to fraud. They stressed that trying to buy or report fraudulent tickets directly is not allowed.

The 'CHAPTER 0' concert, which represents the intersection of fans and marks a new chapter beyond their 25th anniversary, has already made headlines with its three-day sold-out shows, showcasing impressive ticket demand and solidifying its unique appeal.

The concert will feature a special 360-degree stage for the first time in concert history, promising to wow fans. Co-directors Son Ho-young and Kim Tae-woo are working hard to ensure an outstanding performance.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
