Red Velvet’s Irene And Seulgi Denied Entry To Beyoncé’s London Concert
In a surprising turn of events, Red Velvet‘s Irene and Seulgi faced disappointment as they were denied entry to the highly anticipated concert of none other than the global superstar, Beyoncé. As Red Velvet embarked on their European tour, delighting fans with their captivating performances in cities such as Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam, their final destination led them to London, coinciding with Beyoncé’s monumental show at the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium on June 4.
This lucky coincidence had fans eagerly anticipating the possibility of witnessing a serendipitous encounter between the K-Pop stars and the reigning queen herself. Little did they know that there would be some unexpected obstacles they would face that would ultimately lead to their unfortunate exclusion from the highly coveted event.
Seulgi, a long-time fan of Beyoncé, had expressed her admiration for the global icon on multiple occasions. Excited to witness her idol’s live performance, she joyfully announced to fans on DearU Bubble that she had managed to secure tickets for the event.
However, upon their arrival in the United Kingdom, fans spotted Seulgi and Irene outside the venue, visibly stressed due to ticket-related issues. One attentive fan took to Twitter to share the moment, revealing that the Red Velvet members appeared to be encountering difficulties at the entrance gate. The fan refrained from approaching them, understanding that the concert had already begun and the duo was clearly in distress. Speculating that they may have approached the wrong gate, the fan expressed hopes that Irene and Seulgi eventually gained entry.
IM WORKING AT BEYONCÉ AND JUST CAME OUT THE OFFICE AND THEY WERE RIGHT THERE ABOUT TO GET THEIR TICKETS SCANNED. I DIDNT APPROACH BC THE SHOW HAD ALREADY STARTED AND THEY WERE CLEARLY STRESSED. I THINK THEY CAME TO THE WRONG GATE BC THEY GOT TURNED AWAY. I HOPE THEY GOT IN

As time passed, concerns grew among fans regarding whether the Red Velvet stars were able to join the concert. Sadly, it was later revealed that they were not permitted entry at all.
Few hours later, Seulgi took to the fan messaging app Bubble to share the duo’s unfortunate story with ReVeluvs. She disclosed that although they had successfully scanned their own tickets, they encountered complications with the staff member accompanying them.
Determined to assist the staff member, Irene and Seulgi sought help at the ticket booth office. However, when they attempted to re-enter the venue, security denied them access as their tickets had already been scanned.
Fans expressed their disappointment on various social media platforms, empathizing with Irene and Seulgi’s unfortunate experience. Many shared their sentiments about the two artists, who had shown immense excitement to attend the highly talked-about event. Others even tried to contact known staff members that work closely with Beyonce to get them tickets to other shows!
