Problem

Ticket fraud — including proxy bookings and counterfeit ticket sales — is surging around major concerts like BTS, yet individual buyers have no way to distinguish scam listings from legitimate ones on secondhand platforms (Bungaejangter, Karrot, etc.). With average ticket prices of ~$75–225 (100,000–300,000 KRW), victims lose not only money but also the chance to attend the show, causing significant emotional distress. Police monitor after the fact, but real-time prevention is nonexistent.

Solution

Real-time crawling of ticket listings on secondhand trading platforms to detect fraud patterns (blacklisted bank accounts, price anomalies, new accounts, repeated similar phrasing), delivering risk alerts like 'This listing has an 87% scam probability' via KakaoTalk/Telegram bot. Combines community report data to build a proprietary fraud database.

Target: Individual consumers in their 20s–30s within K-POP fandoms who purchase concert tickets through secondhand trading, with at least one ticket transaction per month
Revenue Model: Premium Subscription ~$2.15/month per account (2,900 KRW) for real-time alerts + unlimited fraud DB lookups. Free tier limited to 3 lookups/day. 20% discount for Annual Subscription.
