The Saemangeum World Jamboree officially concluded all events with a closing ceremony and K-pop performance at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu, Seoul, the previous day. However, as some participants wish to stay in Korea for a few more days, the government plans to take full responsibility for supporting their departure. Regarding arrangements such as extending stays at temporary accommodations set up in eight cities and provinces, transportation, tourism, and airline tickets, Prime Minister Han instructed, "The Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, and the Organizing Committee should maintain their operational functions for the time being to provide convenience to the remaining Jamboree participants and coordinate necessary cooperation with related ministries and local governments." Emergency response team meetings will continue for the time being.


Regarding the events held the previous day, Prime Minister Han mentioned over 40,000 Jamboree participants, event performers and staff, on-site volunteers, medical personnel, safety officers, and bus drivers, saying, "As Prime Minister, I convey the President's sincere gratitude and the nation's words of comfort for your hard work." He added, "The cheers of the Jamboree participants that shook the stadium will be remembered as an eternal memory of Korea for all participants."



He also expressed sincere thanks to various private sectors including central government and local government officials, businesses, schools, religious groups, and cultural communities for their assistance. Furthermore, he stated, "I would like to once again thank the citizens who endured inconveniences such as traffic control for the Jamboree event, as well as the public who encouraged and welcomed the Jamboree participants."
