"Earned in 50 Days"... Controversy Over Ticket Scalper Bragging About Profits from 'The Odyssey'

Tickets for The Odyssey in Yongsan IMAX remain notoriously difficult to book, sparking controversy after a post surfaced online in which someone bragged about making over 10 million won in a month and a half through ticket scalping.

According to an online community post titled "Yong-a-mak The Odyssey, settlement from August 1 until today" uploaded on the 15th, the details showed sales of approximately 27 million won and a net profit of 14 million won.

The author wrote, "Believe it or not, it's up to you," adding that they consider themselves to have the number one macro performance.

Although the authenticity of the settlement details has not been verified, high demand for IMAX screenings of 'The Odyssey' has led to tickets originally priced between 17,000 won and 22,000 won being listed on ticket transfer platforms for as high as 120,000 won.

As ticket scalping runs rampant, CGV recently announced that it is limiting the maximum number of reservable tickets to four per session and will continue to monitor bookings made through abnormal channels.
