AKMU provides restricted view seats to persons with a visual impairment... Inviting 300 people from culturally vulnerable groups

Restricted view seats, where the stage is not clearly visible due to venue facilities, often cause complaints from spectators and consumer disputes. According to media reports, while they are sometimes sold at lower prices than general seats, conflicts continue because sufficient notice regarding the limited view is not provided.

AKMU held three solo concerts from the 9th to the 11th at the KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul. According to media reports, all three performances were sold out, and 30,000 spectators visited the venue over the three days.

AKMU invited 100 people from culturally vulnerable groups for free at each performance, totaling 300 people. Children from orphanages, persons with disabilities, and youth preparing for independence were invited to the performances, which are priced at 154,000 won. Some of the restricted view seats were provided to persons with a visual impairment, who typically find it difficult to attend performances.

After the performances, thank-you reviews presumed to be written by the invited guests were posted. The text introduced in media reports included the content, “I am truly grateful and overwhelmed that AKMU did not just leave the restricted view seats of the concert empty but invited us, persons with a visual impairment.” The author stated that it was their first time attending a concert in their life.

AKMU's cultural sharing has continued in the past. According to media reports, they invited 110 youth preparing for independence during their 2023–2024 nationwide tour, and also held concerts for child patients and performances visiting orphanages. In 2024, marking their 10th anniversary since debut, they donated a total of 141 million won to various institutions.
