Park Ji-won "Welcomes Government Decision to Suspend Jamboree Event"

Former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won praised the early termination of the Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree due to Typhoon 'Khanun' approaching the Korean Peninsula, saying, "I applaud and support the government's decision."

On the 7th, Park Ji-won posted on his social media, "Although it is belated, I applaud and support the government's decision to stop the Jamboree event and hold the remaining events in Seoul."

On the same day, the World Organization of the Scout Movement announced on its website, "The government has communicated plans for the early withdrawal of all Jamboree participants." This decision by the government was due to Typhoon 'Khanun' passing over the Korean Peninsula during the Jamboree period. Scout participants are expected to stay at accommodations in Seoul and other metropolitan areas for the remaining period.

Former Director Park said, "Even now, you can easily meet participating Jamboree scouts in hotels, subways, and other places," adding, "Please do not just pass by; show welcoming gestures such as thumbs up, applause, or finger hearts to raise our nation's dignity, which has fallen. I believe that simple and easy kindness will make young adolescents feel loved and come to cherish the Republic of Korea."
