The sibling duo AKMU (Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun) is facing controversy over obstructed view issues at their Gangneung concert.

AKMU held a nationwide tour, "2026 AKMU Concert Paradise of Rumor," at the Gangneung Speed Skating Oval in Gangwon Province on the 7th.

Subsequently, reviews pointing out the seating arrangement and viewing conditions of the performance continued to emerge through online communities and other platforms.

One audience member who watched the performance claimed, "I couldn't see the stage at all," adding, "It's a VIP seat, so it should be the most expensive, but I feel like I paid more money just to get a seat with an obstructed view."

Another audience member stated, "I couldn't see the stage or even the large screens," and expressed regret, saying, "They said the stage production and singing were truly amazing, but it's a pity that I couldn't see anything."

An audience member who traveled from Seoul to Gangneung with their family also claimed, "My family of four bought VIP tickets and went all the way from Seoul to Gangneung, only to be disappointed and come back after seeing nothing but the back of our heads for 170,000 won, not even a glimpse of the stage."

Ticket prices for the Gangneung concert were set at 176,000 won for VIP seats, 165,000 won for R seats and table seats, and 154,000 won for obstructed view seats. Additionally, the booking page provided prior notice stating that "floor seats are installed on flat ground without tiering, and viewing obstructions may occur depending on differences in audience height."

Meanwhile, AKMU will continue their nationwide tour in Daegu on the 21st and 22nd, followed by Daejeon, Busan, and Gwangju. They will also hold an encore performance at Exhibition Hall 1 of KINTEX in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province, next January.
