I kept watching ARMY get scammed for BTS tickets, so I built open-source agent skills for it
Every comeback, every tour announcement, the same thing happens. Presale codes drop, tickets vanish in minutes, and the resale chaos begins. And every single time, I watch fans lose money to the same tricks: a "Weverse Shop" site that is one letter off from the real one, a KakaoTalk seller with a screenshot of a ticket that does not exist, a QR code that scans fine and opens nothing.

BTS fans are constantly left frustrated by ticket scams and resale chaos that occur with every comeback and tour announcement. Developer Helen Anova, a devoted ARMY, decided to do something about it by creating an open-source solution called sevensignal. This tool aims to protect fans by verifying the authenticity of ticket sellers and keeping them updated on official BTS news.
The name "sevensignal" pays homage to the seven members of BTS and the single signal fans can trust. sevensignal functions as a deterministic checker, confirming a seller's official status only if it is mentioned in recent BigHit or Weverse notices for that specific tour. Everything else is flagged as unverified, ensuring fans are not misled by false sense of security.
The package includes 41 safety cases that cover various scam instances that fans frequently encounter, such as misleading Weverse Shop sites, fraudulent KakaoTalk sellers, and QR code schemes. A distinguishing feature of sevensignal is its dedication to transparency. It runs purely on plain Python with no dependencies, making it accessible and easy to review, run, and contribute to. Unit tests, a schema validator, and CI pipelines ensure the tool's reliability.
Anova's work is MIT-licensed and English-first, with optional Korean summaries. It remains completely unofficial and fan-driven, with no affiliations or financial gains involved. The project welcomes contributions from anyone who wants to help maintain the safety list, translate content, or improve the evaluation cases. With sevensignal, fans are provided with a reliable resource to safeguard their investments and avoid falling prey to ticket scams.
