From A Producer To A Global Superstar-Chapter 332: Ticket Sales For Tour

Two days passed after the meeting in Dayo’s office, and those two days didn’t feel like normal days.

It felt like a sprint that refused to stop.

Jang Wook barely stayed in one place. His phone lived in his hand. He was moving between calls, contracts, schedules, and confirmations, checking every detail twice because this wasn’t something you announced and then fixed later. One mistake and the whole thing would look messy.

He was now regretting accepting Dayo’s offer to transition and work for him.

Min Jae made it look easy, but it wasn’t magic. It was reach.

The moment he started calling people, doors opened. Not because he begged, but because in Korea and across Asia, Min Jae’s name carried weight. After all JD Label was known across Asia as a top dog and everyone wants a piece JD Label.

The tour wasn’t going to be Dayo alone either.

They couldn’t risk a mini tour that felt empty. Not with this level of hype. Not with everyone watching his next move like it was a sport.

So Dayo added a few familiar artists to the roster. Faces people already respected. Names that could hold a stage even if the crowd came in wild. It wasn’t about competition. It was about balance. The tour had to feel like a celebration, not a test.

And once the venues were secured and the dates were locked, once the security and movement plan was set, once Jang Wook finally breathed and said, "We can post it now," the room went quiet for one second.

Then Dayo nodded.

Post it.

Min Jae handled it like it was nothing. One announcement, clean and direct. Mini tour. Korea first, then Japan, then China, and after that, the United States as the final stop, the ending that would close the loop and calm the American fans down.

It hit the internet like a match dropped in petrol.

And the first city that caught fire was Busan.

Not Seoul.

Busan.

Because Busan had become a symbol at this point. Train to Busan wasn’t just a title anymore. It was a flag. People were already treating Busan like a sacred place for the whole movement, like the city itself deserved the first stage.

They picked a proper venue, large enough to hold a crowd but still tight enough to feel personal.

Busan Asiad Main Stadium.

The ticket link went live.

And within thirty minutes, more than half the tickets were gone.

Not "reserved." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Gone.

Paid for.

Confirmed.

Jang Wook kept refreshing the dashboard like he didn’t trust his eyes. Min Jae stared at the numbers and laughed once, low and surprised, even though he was the one who had said it would be big. Dayo didn’t laugh. He just sat there and watched the screen like he was watching a door open to a new world.

An hour later, it got worse.

The remaining tickets started disappearing like someone was sweeping them off the floor. People weren’t even reading seat positions anymore. They were buying whatever they could touch. Two hours after the release, it was finished.

Sold out.

Busan, sold out.

Then the resale market started acting like a disease.

People who couldn’t get in began begging online. Others started offering tickets at five times the original price, then six times, then higher, because desperation was louder than shame when the crowd was hungry.

And the internet became a battlefield of excitement, anger, jokes, jealousy, and disbelief.

Not articles.

Just people.

People screaming into their phones like the world was listening.

Hana Kim posted first, and her post got shared everywhere.

"I refreshed at 12:00 on the dot. I still didn’t get tickets. What do you mean sold out. How is this humanly possible."

Minho Park replied under her.

"I got in, I picked seats, I clicked pay, and the site kicked me out. I want to cry. I actually want to cry."

Jisoo Choi wrote.

"Busan sold out in two hours. Two hours. Are we okay as a society."

Taehyung Lee posted a screenshot of the resale price and added.

"They’re selling a 90,000 won ticket for 540,000 won. This is not business, this is madness."

Soyeon Kang responded.

"Madness or not, if I see a real ticket, I’m buying it. I’m not missing this."

Jun Seo wrote something that sounded like a prayer.

"I just want one ticket. Just one. I don’t care where I sit. I will stand if I must."

Eunji Han said.

"This is the first time in my life I’ve seen people fighting over a mini tour like it’s a world cup final."

Yuna Song laughed through her typing.

"He dropped a movie, then an album, now a tour. This man doesn’t let the internet breathe. I’m tired and happy at the same time."

Daeho Kim added.

"Every time I scroll, it’s Dayo. Movie, album, and now a tour. Bro please rest. Let us rest too. I beg."

Then the Americans started entering the comment streams like they had been waiting for a chance.

Kayla Johnson posted.

"Hold on. So he’s touring Korea first. Again. We love you but we’ve been starving over here."

Marcus Reed wrote right after.

"I’m mad but I’m also proud. Like how do you even hate someone who keeps winning."

Amanda Torres said.

"I can’t even understand Korean fully and I still had the album on repeat. Now he’s touring. I’m screaming. Somebody tell me the US dates."

Tyler Brooks wrote what most people were thinking.

"He disappears for years and then comes back and drops a movie and a Korean album and a tour. That’s not a comeback, that’s a takeover."

Samantha Lee, Korean American, jumped in.

"Y’all better calm down. Let him cook. He’s coming to the US. Let Korea enjoy their moment too."

Then the playful war started.

People arguing and laughing, dragging each other, defending him with full chest like it was their job.

Daniel Carter wrote.

"If you didn’t get tickets, it’s your fault. Should’ve had faster fingers."

Ethan Miller replied.

"Bro I was fast. The site just hated me personally."

Chloe Simmons said.

"I swear I saw tickets and they disappeared in front of my eyes. Like a ghost."

Jacob Price posted.

"Somebody is going to start selling fake tickets soon. Please be careful. Don’t get scammed."

"Busan Asiad Sells Out in Two Hours as Dayo Announces Mini Tour Across Asia and the United States"

Busan did not just sell out. It detonated. Ticket dashboards across major platforms showed a surge pattern closer to a festival or a championship match than a "mini tour." Industry watchers are calling it the clearest proof yet that Dayo’s momentum has moved beyond movie hype into full fan movement, with viewers now treating his releases like connected Chapters rather than separate projects.

Behind the scenes, insiders credit the fast rollout to tight scheduling and Min Jae’s influence across venues and partners, but even they admit the speed of demand was shocking.

"Train to Busan Effect: Why Busan Became the First Stop, and Why Fans Are Treating It Like a Pilgrimage"

The choice of Busan was not random. Busan has turned into symbolism. It is now more than a city name, it is a flag for the whole wave surrounding Train to Busan. Fans online are framing the first show as a "historic first night," with some comparing it to a premiere, a concert, and a cultural moment all at once.

Ticket resale listings spiked minutes after sellout, with some listings rising to five times and six times the original price. Analysts warn this may be the first sign of a wider ticket scalping problem across the remaining tour stops.

And that warning didn’t slow anyone down, because the hype had already turned into a fever.

Korean fans were celebrating like they had just claimed him fully. Japanese fans were already asking which city was first. Chinese fans were calling it the biggest foreign wave they’d seen in a long time. Americans were complaining, but the complaints had smiles inside them, the kind that said they were angry because they cared.

And under all of it was one clear truth.

People weren’t just watching Dayo anymore.

They were chasing him.

In Dayo’s office, the screen still showed SOLD OUT in bold letters. Jang Wook’s phone kept ringing with venue agents and managers from other cities trying to move faster. Min Jae sat back with that calm confidence he always wore, but even he looked slightly impressed.

Dayo stared at the screen for a long moment, then finally spoke, quiet and simple.

"Busan is only the first stop."

Min Jae looked at him and smiled.

Jang Wook exhaled like a man who had just realized his life would not be normal again.

Outside, the internet kept boiling, the resale market kept climbing, and the whole world kept repeating the same sentence in different languages.

He really did this.

And now they had to keep up.
