NewJeans’ Popularity in Japan Proven through Sky-High Resell Ticket Prices?

On May 6, a post titled “NewJeans Fanmeeting at Tokyo Dome – Resale Ticket Prices” was shared on the Korean forum Instiz, garnering significant interest.

Based on the subject, the regular tickets were initially sold for 22,000 Japanese yen per seat (equivalent to approximately 143 USD), but have now increased in price to a maximum of 100,000 Japanese yen (equivalent to 650 USD). The highest price that has been paid for a ticket in the same category was 98,000 Japanese yen.

This surprised many netizens, who were amazed by the group’s popularity as they not only sold out a large venue, but also garnered impressive popularity in Tokyo.

NewJeans is really popular in Japan, I don’t know why people say they are not popular there just because there’s no Japanese member
I lived in Japan around the time when NewJeans debuted and I heard that Japanese kids really knew about NewJeans.
Such a price difference is simply impressive…
Next step, let’s go to Nissan stadium (a bigger venue in Japan), NewJeans
Wow didn’t they just start targeting the Japanese market recently? This is shocking
