In particular, measures to prevent heat-related illnesses among visitors and event staff, caused by the continuous heatwave following the monsoon season, were reviewed, along with preparations for responding to sudden localized heavy rain and other weather changes that may occur during the festival period.

This year’s ‘M2 Festival’ is a summer festival tailored for the MZ generation, combining visual media with the existing Jinju Music Festival, and is expected to attract more visitors compared to last year. The city and festival organizers are preparing thorough safety measures in anticipation of approximately 4,000 visitors expected on the evening of the 5th, when a special live broadcast will take place.

Deputy Mayor Shin urged, “Please ensure perfect preparation and safety so that visitors can enjoy the festival comfortably and return home safely despite the hot weather.”
