Jamboree K-pop Concert Moved from the 6th to the 11th... "Held on Closing Ceremony Day"

The 'K-Pop Super Live' performance at the 2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree, originally scheduled for the evening of the 6th, has been postponed to the closing ceremony on the 11th. This decision reflects concerns over safety accidents and the occurrence of heat-related illnesses.

Kim Hyun-sook, Minister of Gender Equality and Family and co-chair of the Jamboree Organizing Committee, stated on the day, "The K-Pop performance event planned for today (the 6th) will be held on the 11th during the closing ceremony," adding, "The venue will be decided later." Minister Kim said, "We are reviewing the most suitable location for safety so that the K-Pop performance can be enjoyed in a safe and comfortable environment."

Another co-chair, Lee Sang-min, Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, said, "We are currently considering about two locations," and confirmed, "The date is fixed."

Originally, the 'K-Pop Super Live' was scheduled to take place from 8 p.m. for two hours on a special outdoor stage at Saemangeum. Popular idols enjoying great popularity both domestically and internationally, including IVE, NMIXX, STAYC, Lee Chae-yeon, ZEROBASEONE, P1Harmony, VERIVERY, NCTeam, NATURE, ATBO, Psycus, along with popular dancer Aiki, were set to perform.

As global youth interest in K-Pop was highly elevated, a large gathering of Jamboree participants was expected. However, concerns about safety accidents such as crowd-related incidents arose, and with the surge of heat-related illness cases, the event was ultimately postponed.
