The servers went down when fans attempted to get the last online ticket for actor Kim Soo Hyun's fan meeting.

On February 27, at auction site Interpark started the actor's fan meeting tickets auction "2014 Kim Soo Hyun 1st Memories in Seoul." Within just 5 minutes, 2,000 seats have been booked and more than 10,000 people were online at the site at the time. Because of this situation, the Interpark servers temporarily went down.

A representative of the Kim Soo Hyun's agency said, "With all the attention from the fans, it is true that the servers went down for some time. All the tickets were sold out in 5 minutes and we thank you so much. "

Because of fierce competition with the acquiring of the tickets, there were incidents of illegal ticket trading. Being the ticket priced just 33,000 Korean Won ($31 USD), the ones who have not got the tickets have wrote on the message board that they were willing to buy it for 600,000 won which is approximately $562 in US dollars. The sellers posted their kakaotalk IDs in order to exchange their tickets for money.

A representative stated, "We were originally planning on a 1000-seat fan meeting but due to Kim Soo Hyun's popularity, we enlarged it to 2000. I guess that still wasn't enough. I hope that the fans don't get hurt."

Kim Soo Hyun will begin his fan meetings starting in Seoul, and then to Taiwan, three cities in China which are Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
