On June 4, Red Velvet’s Seulgi and Irene trended in K-pop stan Twitter after being spotted at Beyoncé’s Renaissance concert in London. Some fans posted pictures and videos of the duo at the concert venue while a few even mentioned their small interactions with them. However, a fan working at the concert revealed that the K-pop stars seemed to be in some trouble with their tickets and were turned away by the security.

Twitter user @boywithlub shared their experience watching Red Velvet’s Seulgi and Irene grappling with some ticketing issues. Later, the 28 Reasons singer texted on the Bubble platform revealing that she wasn’t able to attend Beyoncé’s concert and shared what actually went wrong behind the scenes.

The 28 Reasons singer shared that there were some issues with the tickets, so she went out to the ticket counter to clear them. However, both the idol and her fellow bandate Irene couldn’t enter the main venue since they had earlier scanned their tickets. Concert-goers weren’t allowed to enter the venue once they left. She mentioned that she did not know about this rule, adding that it was her first time purchasing tickets abroad.
