Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, visited Seoul Sangam World Cup Stadium on the 10th to inspect the safety preparations for the Jamboree closing ceremony and K-pop performance scheduled for the 11th.

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) is making every effort to ensure safety ahead of the World Scout Jamboree closing ceremony scheduled for the 11th at Sangam World Cup Stadium.

The district plans to utilize its resources to the fullest extent to address national concerns caused by the northward approach of Typhoon Khanun and the sudden change of the closing ceremony venue, ensuring that the entire schedule of the closing ceremony on the 11th concludes as a safe and enjoyable global festival.

The district anticipates that approximately 45,000 people will gather for the closing ceremony event, which includes a K-pop performance featuring NewJeans and others, and has determined that urgent support is needed to prevent crowd safety accidents and alleviate traffic congestion.

First, on the morning of the 10th, the district, along with private experts in architectural structures from the Mapo-gu Safety Management Advisory Group, visited Sangam World Cup Stadium, where the closing ceremony will be held, to conduct a joint inspection of the K-pop performance stage facility installation status with related parties, and requested reinforcement measures from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, KBS, and Seoul Facilities Management Corporation.

Additionally, an emergency response system for Typhoon Khanun was established, and a crowd safety plan was urgently formulated.

Due to the closing ceremony on the 11th, the section from Guryong Intersection to World Cup Stadium Intersection will be closed in both directions, so the district sent advance safety text messages guiding vehicle detours and plans to deploy about 370 safety personnel from 1:30 PM until 11 PM to manage safety before the event starts.

Led by Mayor Park Gang-su, about 220 district employees and approximately 150 volunteers from professional organizations will be assigned as safety personnel to maintain order, ensuring that Jamboree participants safely enter the stadium from the transport buses and board the buses after the event.

Furthermore, as about 1,500 buses carrying Jamboree members will be parked near the stadium, the district will conduct intensive crackdowns on illegal parking and monitor risk factors related to facilities due to strong winds, as well as enforce regulations on street vendors.

In preparation for any possible accidents, the Mapo-gu CCTV Integrated Control Center will thoroughly monitor crowd density, and the district health center will deploy ambulances and medical personnel.

Mayor Park Gang-su of Mapo-gu stated, “Currently, securing the safety of the global youth and citizens visiting our area is more important than any predetermined responsibilities and roles,” adding, “Mapo-gu will spare no support or effort to ensure that the Jamboree closing ceremony remains an unforgettable and precious experience for all participants without a single safety accident.”

Meanwhile, the district had previously taken proactive safety measures in coordination with related agencies such as the police during the K-League event featuring Lim Young-woong on April 5th, which attracted about 50,000 people to Sangam World Cup Stadium.
