On the last day of the 2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree on the 11th, a concert featuring numerous famous K-pop groups is scheduled to take place, but there are signs that some idol fans are attempting to 'disguise entry' by obtaining Scout uniforms.

On the 10th, multiple posts titled "Looking for Jamboree Scout uniform" appeared on secondhand trading platforms. Most posts did not specify exact prices, only briefly stating "I will offer a reward." Some listings have already been sold.

Meanwhile, there have also been indications of requests to borrow uniforms from overseas Scout members currently staying in Korea.

One netizen appealed in English through a YouTube comment to an account presumed to be a Scout member, saying, "Can I borrow a Jamboree uniform? I want to enter the World Cup Stadium," and "I want to see NewJeans. I am a big fan."

Domestic netizens who saw these posts responded sharply with comments such as "Don't make strange requests," "You're embarrassing Korea," and "Please stop."

As multiple signs of some idol fans trying to 'disguise entry' into the concert by obtaining Scout uniforms have been found, some voices have called for measures to prevent this at the venue.

Meanwhile, the 2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree K-pop Super Live, scheduled for 7 p.m. on the 11th, will be held at the World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu, Seoul.

The participating groups include NCT Dream, NewJeans, MAMAMOO, MONSTA X unit Shownu and Hyungwon, Kang Daniel, THE BOYZ, ITZY, ZEROBASEONE, Kwon Eunbi, Jo Yuri, HOLYBANG, Psykers, P1Harmony, fromis_9, and others, totaling 18 teams. The event will be hosted by actor Gong Myung, ITZY's Yuna, and NewJeans' Hyein.

Earlier, the Jamboree event was held in Saemangeum, Jeonbuk, starting on the 2nd, but due to the forecast that Typhoon Khanun would pass through the Korean Peninsula, the campsite was evacuated on the 8th.
