At 8 p.m. on September 17, the seating map on fans' phone screens turned from green to gray in a matter of minutes. The moment general ticket sales opened for singer Roy Kim's new solo concert, every seat at Seoul's KSPO DOME was gone — and disappointment spread fast through online communities of overseas fans who had been planning a trip to Korea for the show.

At a glance: '2026-27 Roy Kim LIVE TOUR [R:O:Y] in SEOUL' · November 21-22, 2026 · KSPO DOME (424 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul, inside Olympic Park) · Tickets via NOL (Interpark) · Fan-club presale September 16, 8 p.m.; general sale September 17, 8 p.m. (both Korea Standard Time) · Sold out.

Roy Kim has sold out his year-end solo concert four years running since 2022, and 'R:O:Y' marks his first time headlining KSPO DOME (formerly the Olympic Gymnastics Arena). Sales ran in two rounds — fan-club presale and general sale — with a limit of four tickets per person per show. Both sale times were announced in Korea Standard Time (KST, UTC+9).

NOL (Interpark), the ticketing platform, accepts overseas-issued Visa and Mastercard and offers an English interface, but none of that changed the outcome this time: every seat disappeared within minutes of general sale opening. The remaining route in is a canceled-ticket, or 'cancellation ticket,' seat that opens up when a buyer cancels. Interpark-affiliated platforms have, since 2024, generally released canceled tickets in a batch around 9 a.m. KST, though the exact time can vary by show, so it is worth checking the platform's own notice again closer to the date.

For fans who did secure a ticket, logistics come next. KSPO DOME sits at 424 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, inside Olympic Park, reachable by following the park signage from Olympic Park Station, where subway Lines 5 and 9 meet. On Line 5, take a train bound for Macheon, since the line splits in two; Line 9 connects directly to Gimpo International Airport with no transfer, so travelers arriving via Incheon can take the airport railroad to Gimpo and switch to Line 9 from there.

The fact that ticket sales so often open at 8 p.m. Korea time is itself useful information for overseas fans. Eight p.m. KST falls at 7 a.m. Eastern (EDT), 4 a.m. Pacific (PDT), and noon in the UK (BST). Anyone chasing the next ticketing round should first confirm that the notice's '8 p.m.' means Korean time, then set an alarm to match their own local hour.

Both Seoul dates are already sold out, but Roy Kim is set to continue his Asia tour in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Taipei, and Tokyo in January-February 2027, so fans for whom Seoul isn't working out may want to look at those nearby dates too. Knowing roughly when canceled tickets get released, and which subway line reaches KSPO DOME, can save real time and steps on the next ticketing day — or the next trip to Korea.
