The "BTS World Tour Arirang IN Busan" concert is scheduled for June 12-13 at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium. This marks BTS's return to Busan for a performance after three years and eight months since their last concert in 2022.
With a large number of domestic and international fans expected to gather at the venue, thorough preparations are essential to ensure safety and prevent any potential hazards.
Prime Minister Kim Min-seok has emphasized the need for collaboration among relevant agencies, including the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and local governments, to ensure crowd safety during the event.
During the meeting, Kim Kwang-yong reviewed safety management plans from various agencies and stressed the importance of establishing a cooperative system to prevent safety incidents caused by crowd congestion. He urged for proactive measures in case of emergencies.
Following the meeting, he inspected the venue, including entrances, stages, and walkways, and called for the deployment of safety personnel and the installation of safety barriers in areas at risk of crowd-related incidents.
Additionally, in anticipation of heat-related illnesses due to daytime temperatures, he requested adequate water supplies, shade structures, and the activation of emergency medical systems as heatwave countermeasures.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety will also dispatch on-site situation managers to various related event venues across Busan to ensure comprehensive crowd safety management. These managers will operate a real-time response system in collaboration with the city of Busan, police, and fire departments based on crowd density.
Minister Yoon Ho-jung stated, "The government prioritizes the safety of all visitors enjoying this concert and related events, and we will focus our efforts on crowd and heatwave safety management. We also ask visitors to demonstrate mature civic awareness and actively cooperate in maintaining order at the venue."
