- SHINee Fan Meeting Location Changed to Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium After Fans' Boycott 목차
SM Entertainment has announced a change in the venue for the SHINee fan meeting 'Everyday is SHINee Day': [Piece of SHINE] to Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul. The decision comes in response to opposition from SHINee's fandom, who expressed their concerns about the original choice of KINTEX in Ilsan as the fan meeting location. The event, celebrating the group's 15th anniversary, will be held twice on the 27th and 28th of this month.
The first performance is scheduled for 6 pm on the 27th, followed by a 4 pm show on the 28th. Fans will also have the opportunity to watch the performance online through Beyond Live on the last day, for a fee. All offline seats will be priced at 99,000 won.
Pre-sale tickets for the fan club will be available on the 16th at 8 pm, with general reservations opening at 8 pm on the 18th. Wheelchair seats can be reserved during both the fan club pre-sale and general reservation periods, starting at 10 am.
SHINee's fandom initially opposed the KINTEX location, citing its unsuitability for a fan meeting and potential limited visibility for some seats. As a result, fans demanded a change in venue through online statements and truck protests in front of the SM building in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. They requested a direct apology from the management company and a venue with sound facilities and a scale similar to the Olympic Park Gymnastics Arena (KSPO Dome).
SM Entertainment eventually addressed the fans' concerns, announcing the change of venue on the 2nd and committing to do their best for this important anniversary.
