Hundreds of French fans rallied in front of the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday to demand an extension of a Korean pop concert after tickets for the event sold out in 15 minutes.
Some 300 young people picketed while dancing to Korean pop tunes for over an hour, demanding that the concert scheduled for June 10 be extended by one day.
Korean pop culture, known as "Hallyu," or the Korean Wave, has been gaining worldwide popularity in recent years. Girls'
Generation, Super Junior, SHINee and other top groups managed by the agency S.M. Entertainment are scheduled to perform.
Fans at the rally claimed some people had already begun to scalp tickets after hoarding hundreds of them when they went on sale online on April 26.
Calls to S.M. Entertainment's office in Seoul seeking comment went unanswered on Monday morning.

Date: 2011-05-02 02:42 pm (UTC)picketing in front of the Louvre Museum is a little faux pas, they could find more appropriate and still representative place probably... I just hope that it wasn't done for nothing and SM would give us another gig

Date: 2011-05-03 05:27 am (UTC)i am rather sick of it "invading" here there and everywhere.
there are actually very few groups in kpop that have not been over-processed to the point where i can still like them.

Date: 2011-05-02 06:18 pm (UTC)i think the louvre was just a place to gain more attention and they did want korean media to cover it to get sm's attention. i don't see anything wrong with it. since the scalpers problem is an issue and it should be addressed. i just hope sm considers another date for those who didn't even have a chance to buy a ticket. maybe not in the near future but hopefully soon enough.

Date: 2011-05-02 09:54 pm (UTC)I fully support that the next time, there should be a limit of purchase online and a monitoring system to see whether the tickets were extensively re-sold or something.
Getting another date might be harder though. Good Luck France XD
