Girls’ Generation Black Sea Incident (specific.)

The "Black Sea Incident" is a boycott of the Korean group Girls' Generation three times. Whenever Girls' Generation performs on stage, fans extinguish their light sticks to boycott Girls' Generation. As soon as the fluorescent sticks are extinguished, a black scene will appear in the entire venue, also called a black ocean.

Cause of incident:

Dream Concert held at Jamsil Main Arena in Seoul was a free ticket-free performance, and more than 35,000 seats were originally reserved for the stadium. Fifty thousand fans.

Girls’ Generation fans and fans of SJ and TVXQ clashed over seats. As for the actual situation at the scene, there are different opinions. But the conflict created a pretext for subsequent boycotts. Later, when Girls' Generation performed, they were silently boycotted by fans.
