OMG - it wroked with the Sarai browser but I wonder if I need to be on Safari to buy tickets (also used the new email address)

Working on it use Chrome but will try anything

Just tossing in here, for the record, that I still am getting nothing but bull from Interpark. I tried to delete one account (not the one that is with my main email assoc with Weverse) and then to set up a new account with that email and it says the email is already registered and I can't log in. Period. So, that's not going to work. Now I'm stuck with the original issue with the original email that Interpark says "No matching ID/PW, Please check and try again." so "Please enter your registered e-mail address, then click "Continue". and I do and it says "We will send you an e-mail to set up a new password." And that's it. No password reset email message sent. No communication at all. I can't quite figure out if I should get myself a brand new email account and then get an ARMY account with that email address and start from there. Any suggestions?

Damn, Interpark Global has now sent me a third email address to write (and I have, now. Email: [email protected] ) I told them that if I don't get this resolved by the end of their Friday business day, I am going to go ahead and delete accounts with them and start from scratch. A couple of good articles to read - https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10482002 https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/j-hope-bts-growing-pains-working-solo-music-1235964869/

The theme of the Met Gala was actually Black Dandyism, referring to a flashy individual style that black men have been developed. It does involve wearing pants, however. Problems persist with Interpark. I finally got a response but they said they couldn't help and gave me yet another email address to contact. Oddly, they sent a verification email for the phone app but it's really not the full app and I can do anything like get verified on it. It's really for touristy stuff. I am going to try the "new" email and after that just delete the accounts and start from scrach.

It still says I'm not a verified member of ARMY- and I have requested a password reset. Tis has been on my Mac, not my phone. And I've written them AGAIN. I still have time and that very instructive X directions (thank you @rockstaryuzu) says I shouldn't need the same email address, just the same name. I am totally vexxed. Glad you got in....

I actually did that with my gmail acct but that's not helping with my yahoo acct which is what Weverse uses. As soon as I finally get a new password for it, I'll buy something. You can get something that doesn't cost much but does go through the Interpark site. Edit: Amy? Any advice...?

Also - NOL (Global Interpark or Interpark Global) has been changing their customer support email. The one that was there for the Jin concert is no longer being used. I am having a bear of a time getting into my mobile acct because it's not recognizing my password but when I request a password reset, they say it will be sent to my email. BUt it isn't. Multiple requests on this. I'd start getting an account with them established ASAP - and, again, use your exact name as it is on your passport. It feels like they just don't want me to see anybody in BTS. I'll keep trying.... And, truly, I can't figure out if they do need a passport pic. I am unable to get logged in, period.

Only one ticket per person allowed, per night, so your sister would have to have a separate reservation and also an account (ARMY and with the retailer) - but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to make that using her email address, etc.. It's Interpark Global. You'll both need a valid ID, like your passport, to get in (and also have the credit card used for making the reservation) but don't need to provide a passport upfront. They have a facial recognition thing also but I haven't tried it. More info on https://www.globalinterpark.com/en/ Your ARMY membership name should exactly match your ID. And I was unable to have my ARMY membership verified by them before the Jin pre-sale and even with multiple emails to their customer service AND Weverse, it never considered me ARMY. I think it might be because I got Interpark initially on my phone and was trying on my computer. Phone is likely going to be where to do the "buy" because that's also the preferred Weverse tool (though that makes me nuts as my phone screen in not big) and any ticket you score will be a QR code that will go to your phone. A queue for ticket buying, itself, doesn't start until Monday evening KST, so you should have some days to figure out the pre-verification part -that doesn't officially happen until later tonight for me. You can get an Interpark "membership" pre-verified at any time and they have lots of other things that they will give you deals for. Hmmm - any other questions? (if you have two email accounts, use the one that Weverse haas...) No payment unless you get a seat/ticket next Monday during the pre-sale. But you want Global Interpark to have that info ahead of time. Go to their info page. I;'ll be trying for the 13th, as well.

For Hobi's Seoul concerts: There are two pre-verification processes. One is just for using their site and the other is prove or show that you are ARMY. You can';t even start the second part until 2pm tomorrow KST. Heads up - I was unable on my laptop to EVER get my ARMY membership "validated" for Jin's concerts. The link continually failed. I now wonder if I have to go through my mobile. If everyone can try to get that pre-verification (and that doesn't mean you are signing for a ticket, just that you might...). Could we all try (and I know at least one of us will be joining the bloodbath for tickets....) to get that pre-qualification after the window for it opens at 2pm KST? I'd love to hear if anyoone else encounters the problem I had.

Amazing! I'm actually a little surprised that Jin was put into situations where he could have actually gotten hurt. He's such a good sport and, obviously, will do pretty much anything to entertain ARMY.

It's from the Korea Herald - thekoreaherald 20h Paik Jong-won, a businessperson and TV celebrity considered one of the most influential figures in the local food industry, on Tuesday issued a public apology and announced that he is discontinuing his TV appearance following a string of controversies.⁠ ⁠ The news comes as Seoul Gangnam Police Station revealed that he is under investigation for allegations that the food and beverage company TheBorn Korea posted the imported ingredients used for its porridge as domestically sources when they were not. Paik is TheBorn Korea's founder and largest shareholder.⁠ ⁠ The company is already under probe for other suspicions such as misleading consumers over the origin of ingredients in other products.⁠ ⁠

Interesting development - I wonder if it will impact his involvement with any BTS or Jin promotions/activities - Hasn't Paik Jong-won been there for a number of things? https://www.instagram.com/p/DJTLI8Btkep/?igsh=MTJjbmoyMG4yMGVpbA%3D%3D

I bet Jin was actually asleep when his phone vibrated to show the Live had begun. He really wants tto show his support for Hobi - and also, I think, likes to connect with ARMY. (That brings up the question: why doesn't Jin do a legit Live? Maybe he doesn't want any overlap with Hobi, but he'd know Hobi's schedule and could do a Live on one of Hobi's travel days...)
