President Yoon Suk-yeol on the 11th asked Prime Minister Han Duck-soo to take good care of the scouts participating in the 2023 World Scout Jamboree until the very end.

On the same day, President Yoon instructed Prime Minister Han, saying, "Please ensure thorough safety measures for the closing ceremony of the World Jamboree to be held at Seoul Sangam World Cup Stadium and the K-pop concert," Kim Eun-hye, the presidential office's chief spokesperson, conveyed in a written briefing.

President Yoon also requested, "Even after the closing ceremony, please provide maximum support for accommodation, meals, transportation, culture, experiences, and tourism until all scouts from every country depart for their home countries."

The Jamboree closing ceremony and concert will be held from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM on the same day at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Approximately 40,000 scouts from around the world will attend the event.

Originally, the event was scheduled to take place on the outdoor stage at Saemangeum on the 6th, but due to concerns about heat-related illnesses caused by the heatwave, the date and venue were changed to Jeonju World Cup Stadium. However, following the landing of Typhoon Khanun on the Korean Peninsula, the venue was finally changed to Seoul.

Earlier, in his opening remarks at the Saemangeum Jamboree Emergency Response Team meeting held at the Government Seoul Office, Prime Minister Han said, "About 40,000 scouts will gather at Sangam Stadium by approximately 1,100 large buses, and after the event, they must return safely to their accommodations." He urged officials from related ministries, "Please prepare with special attention to safety during long-distance transportation, meal provision for the scouts, maintaining order at the event venue, as well as the safety of performing artists."
