Ye, formerly Kanye West
, does many things that turn people against him. But the curious question is, what does he do to make them stay? Honestly, music. Despite months of troublesome tweets and acting as an agent of chaos in showbiz, Ye sent fans into a tizzy with his Korea return teaser for his upcoming summer concert in May. Just weeks after his explosive announcement, the rapper recently flexed the fast-selling Korean concert with a few words that echoed with a larger mic-drop.
While fans were initially strapping in for a rumored Spain concert, the venue change had no shortcomings in the frenzy Ye commands with his stage shows.
Ye brags about the fast-selling frenzy of his Korean concert
Streamers and social media bans are part of Ye’s everyday life. But one place where banishment finds no place in his dictionary is music. Amidst the roof-hitting anticipation for his forthcoming concert in Korea, the rapper recently took to X for a concert update in a now-deleted tweet:
“Sold 30 thousand tickets in ten minutes.”
For those unversed with the details, Coupang Play, a South Korean video-on-demand TV service, will present the concert.

The ‘Bully’ concert will take place on May 31, 2025, at the Incheon Munhak Stadium
. Ticket booking reportedly began on the Coupon Play Mobile App today at 8:00 PM. According to reports, Incheon Munhak Stadium has a capacity of 50,000 people. So, with 30,000 tickets already sold, Ye is more than halfway there.
Despite the good news, the question that remains is, why did Ye delete the post? While only time may reveal the answers, if not him, the fan-frenzy is still comparatively less than what his ‘Vultures 2’ listening party witnessed last year.
Ye’s Korean return with Bully does not come to par with Vultures 2
When Ye went on a ‘Vultures 2’ listening tour last year, South Korea was on the list too. Although the experience underwent quite a few changes, Ty Dolla $ign announced in August on Instagram that the ‘Vultures 2’ listening party sold out within just 5 minutes. Fans bought 69,000 tickets out in a wink, twice more than his ‘Bully’ update for Korea.
The Vultures Listening Experience was held at Korea’s Goyang Stadium, which saw a flood of K-Pop A-listers among ordinary Korean fans. According to All K-Pop, K-hip-hop artists and K-Pop stars spotted included Minji, Danielle, and Hanni. 2NE1’s CL and Minzy were in attendance alongside aespa’s Giselle, Winter, and Jeon So Mi. In fact, TREASURE’s Jihoon, Hyunsuk, Yoshi, Doyoung, and Haruto also attended the concert.
