The Korea Popular Music Performance Industry Association (hereinafter 'the association') will conduct a campaign to eradicate music source manipulation and ticket scalping at the 'Let's Rock Festival' held at Nanji Han River Park on September 6 (Saturday) to 7 (Sunday), under the auspices of the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA).
This campaign is part of the '2025 Music Source Manipulation and Ticket Scalping Monitoring Project,' which aims to ▲ inform that ticket scalping transactions and music source manipulation are major issues undermining trust in the performance industry and music market, ▲ establish a fair ticket booking culture, and ▲ promote healthy consumer awareness.
At the campaign site, various programs will be run for audience participation. First, through an 'OX quiz to enhance understanding of ticket scalping issues' and a 'slogan-making contest to eradicate ticket scalping,' participants will learn about the importance of a fair performance culture in an easy and fun way. Additionally, a 'free consultation center for victims of ticket scalping,' with legal expert Baek Se-hee, will be available to provide advice on actual victim cases and legal guidance.
Furthermore, a survey on ticket scalping and music source manipulation, along with a satisfaction survey of the campaign, will collect public opinions, and all participants will be given a chance to win prizes through a lucky draw. Prizes include festival merchandise, gift cards, and commemorative stickers. In addition, public interest videos such as 'No to Ticket Scalping Song' (Jung Dong-won) and 'Another Way' (May 5) will be screened at the campaign booth and main stage to spread the message of eradicating ticket scalping.
This campaign, held at the 'Let's Rock Festival,' is expected to raise awareness in an easy and friendly manner about how ticket scalping and music source manipulation undermine trust in the performance industry and music market, and contribute to establishing a fair ticket culture and a healthy music ecosystem through public participation.
A representative of the association noted, "Ticket scalping infringes on the rights of spectators, and music source manipulation is a typical malaise that undermines fair competition in the music market. This campaign is being promoted under the auspices of KOCCA, and we hope it serves as a catalyst for spreading a fair performance culture that the performance industry and audiences can empathize with together."
Meanwhile, the association, registered with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, is composed of over 40 performance planning agencies that host and organize various popular music performances such as concerts, festivals, world tours, and domestic performances, actively working to develop the domestic popular music performance industry and create a fair performance culture ecosystem.
