Minister Park said, "Jeonju World Cup Stadium is about 50 minutes away from the Saemangeum Jamboree campsite, and above all, it is a well-managed venue with accumulated experience and know-how in safety management. We judged that this is the optimal place as Jeonbuk Province hosted this Jamboree, and the passion for a successful event from the provincial government and Jeonbuk residents will continue."

He added, "The K-pop concert is the highlight event that scouts eagerly anticipate, and we will decorate the finale powerfully and brilliantly."

Governor Kim Kwan-young also said, "I am grateful to many people who contributed to the decision to use the stadium for the concert. Especially, although Jeonbuk Hyundai FC's home game was scheduled on the day of the concert, I would like to thank the club for giving up the venue and moving the game to another stadium."

He continued, "I sincerely apologize once again to the public for the difficulties faced in heatwave countermeasures and event progress. We will actively utilize off-site programs and stay on-site for lodging and meals to ensure a safe Jamboree. Please help us make this a joyful and safe Jamboree."

The Jeonbuk Hyundai football team's home game scheduled for that day will be played at another stadium as decided by the club.

Meanwhile, the organizing committee plans to partially change and strengthen the lineup due to the change in the K-POP concert schedule.

Regarding the transportation of many participants, 350 buses will head to the stadium after the off-site program, and the remaining participants on-site will move in staggered times. Additionally, due to the event changes, emergency supplementary expenses will be spent, and detailed costs are being calculated.
