The post garnered approximately 968 reactions, 928 shares, 194 comments at the time of writing."Planning to catch your favourite Idol? Cheap tickets may be Dope but are they real? Don't let your Blood, Sweat & Tears in getting the tickets go to waste. Don't be scammed, Not Today. Buy from authorised sellers," the post read.The post largely garnered positive reactions. One netizen praised the marketer behind the post and requested to give that person a raise.

The post garnered about 1.2k reactions, 252 comments and 480 shares at the time of writing.The Korean band recently made it to the cover of Time Magazine and is now a worldwide sensation.
