The ticket price of The Ice, a thriller play revolving around the death of a woman which will be performed at Seongnam Arts Center between May 14 and 16, was originally set at 10,000 won ($8.9). But tickets are currently being sold for as much as 250,000 won each in an online ticket resale marketplace.
Fans of actor Kim Sun-ho, who is in the cast and became famous after appearing in KBS s flagship variety show, Two Days and One Night, have been rushing to buy the tickets. When the play was first showcased at another theater between January and March, the resale ticket price had also gone up to 500,000 won from 60,000 won.
