[+387, -11] So what is he trying to say? That they didn't specifically market the perk but they did send invite tickets out? He doesn't seem to understand that what people are pissed about is that the whole process was unfair and that not everyone was given equal opportunity to purchase tickets for the better seats. A concert of Bruno Mars' level did not need any marketing ㅋㅋㅋ I saw the list of all the Korean celebrities who attended, and there's no one on there that people would specifically buy tickets just to see them and not Bruno Mars. People showed up at the concert just to find that celebrities were taking up all the best seats in the venue.

[+245, -3] So explain to us how all of the best seats were specifically taken by celebrities only? 

[+110, -1] It's like he's saying we "provided" these perks but we're not going to say there were explicit perks...

[+75, -1] These celebrities are not so much more special enough that they deserve all these things. Sick of this celebrity disease.

[+71, -2] He basically said a whole lot of nothing.

[+22, -0] Yes, celebrities were given perks, it's undeniable. How many of those celebrities paid for their tickest out of pocket, without invite tickets? How dare you lie to us that they were given ticketing opportunities the same as us but somehow all ended up with royal seats?

[+20, -1] I will not be using Hyundai cards in the future anymore

[+16, -0] Tickets were sold out in two minutes, and you're telling me that celebrities somehow squeezed in? It's obvious they were either given tickets or bought scalped tickets... especially with how they were all seated together in the best seats in the venue. There needs to be an investigation launched into this.

[+14, -0] I understand that invite tickets are a thing. But why must they be given the best seats in the venue? They can be given 'decently good' seats, too, no?

[+12, -0] So this vice chairman is really claiming he has "no idea" how this could've happened, that he really wants us to believe that all these celebrities managed to somehow buy tickets on their own in first-class seats with all their friends seated right by them?????????????????????????????????????????????

[+10, -1] No more Hyundai cards

[+6, -0] 100% special treatment

[+5, -0] And celebrities were so far removed from reading the room that they were bragging with pictures on SNS the whole time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+4, -0] BTS Jin's hyung already revealed that his was an invite ticket and yet the vice chairman continues to lie to us saying there were no invite tickets

[+3, -0] His excuse is on par with "I did drink and drive but I did not commit drunk driving." He claims there were no special invite tickets and yet there were celebrities there that night that looked like they were in invite ticket seats... so many non-celebrities were negatively affected by this, how can this be explained?
