The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that it held a meeting to review crowd safety management measures for the upcoming BTS concert in Busan, presided over by Kim Gwang-yong, Head of the Disaster and Safety Management Headquarters.
The meeting was attended by officials from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Busan City Hall, Yeonje-gu Office, the National Police Agency, the National Fire Agency, Busan Transportation Corporation, and the event organizers.
Participants discussed measures to ensure there are no safety blind spots, as various events are linked to the BTS concert at the Asiad Main Stadium, including the "Port Village" at Pier 1 of Busan Port, the "Drone Light Show" at Gwangalli Beach, and the "Love Song Lounge" at Haeundae Beach.
They inspected the concert venue's entrances, stage, seating areas, and pathways, emphasizing the need to deploy safety personnel and install safety fences in areas prone to crowd-related accidents. They also stressed the importance of providing drinking water and installing shade structures to prepare for potential heat-related illnesses during the day.
Head of Headquarters Kim Gwang-yong urged officials to take proactive measures, stating that they should respond as if they were being "over-prepared" in case of an emergency.
To strengthen cooperation between agencies for accident prevention, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to dispatch on-site situation management officers and operate an on-site situation room in collaboration with relevant agencies.
